The success of Taiwanese fathers in guiding adolescents.
The purpose of this study was to examine similarities and differences in Taiwanese fathers' and adolescents' perceptions of paternal competencies. A multi-source (fathers (n = 176) and 10- 14-year-old adolescent children (n = 176), single-method (both generations completed the Parent Success Indicator) investigation was employed. Generational assessments were compared, and effects of independent variables were examined. Impressions from both generations were significantly different by child school grades and the amount of time fathers spent talking to and doing things with their adolescents.
