Description

The present study verified how a mother's trust in her husband affected her daughter's evaluation of her father, and how the daughter's evaluation of the father affected her psychological well-being. We questioned 153 couples and their daughters (daughter's age range=17-28 years, mean=22.3, SD=2.2), and found the following. First, stronger maternal trust in the father was associated with a more positive recognition by the daughter of her relationship with her father. This reflected the mother's role as a go-between for the father-daughter relationship. Second, recognition of the father's supportive influence helped make the daughter feel prouder of herself, happier, more satisfied, and less likely to feel depressed. In conclusion, the perception of a supportive and positive influence from the father appears to be very important to the well-being of daughters.
