This study examines the reciprocal relations between non- resident father visitation and the adjustment of adolescents and young adults. Youngsters' adjustment and maladjustment is measured both by internalizing problems: stress and depressive feelings, suicidal thoughts and bad mental health, and by externalizing problems: delinquency, risk taking behavior and unemployment. We made use of the three waves of the Utrecht Study of Adolescent Development, a longitudinal panel study, based on a sample of young people in the Netherlands. The sample in this article consists of 164 young people with divorced parents. Results show no significant correlations between frequency of contact with the nonresident father and internalizing and externalizing problems of youngsters. There is some indication that little contact is negatively correlated to externalizing problems. Probably little contact is connected with parental conflict and uncertainty about time and place of visitation. Increasing frequency of contact with the nonresident father over time seems to correlate slightly to diminishing internalizing problems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
