To test of our first hypothesis, we examined the associations between fathering dimensions and adolescent adjustment outcomes. Three models were run for each fathering dimension: one regressing the two adolescent self-reports (anxiety and depression) onto the fathering dimension, one regressing the parent report of adolescent positive behavior onto the same fathering dimension, and one regressing the three teacher reports of adolescent outcomes (internalizing, externalizing, sociometric status) onto the fathering dimension. We analyze data from all three reporters separately because they provide slightly different results, and results from exploratory factor analyses (not shown) suggested it would be improper to force information from the three reporters onto a common factor.
