| Abstract | Ojibwa families (Ν = 17) were examined to determine the relationship between quantity and quality of father involvement in childrearing and children's academic and social school performance. Antecedents to involvement were also explored. Data analyzed for the whole group and for males showed that greater amount of time fathers spent as primary caregivers was associated with higher academic achievement and better social development, almost exclusively for boys. Paternal nurturance was associated with poor academic functioning for the total group and for boys, possibly because of problems created by the Anglo-dominated school the children attended. Antecedents associated with more paternal involvement included greater participation by the father's father in his upbringing, suggesting a modeling paradigm in keeping with Native American respect for elders. |
