FORT WORTH, Texas, June 10 (UPI) -- A father's psychological or physical absence increased their daughter's sexual thoughts, sexual permissiveness and negativity toward condom use, a study showed.
Lead researcher Danielle DelPriore of Texas Christian University in Fort Worth and colleagues said the study involved 64 heterosexual female undergraduates. Some were told to remember and write about a time that their biological father was absent for an important life event, or write about a time that their father was physically or psychologically present for an important life event.
