The research model she employs is the Family Systems Theory. This theory investigates the
interactions of the family as a network rather than as individuals. Two results regarding fathers:

conferences, children have higher academic achievement both with standardized test scores and in
teacher ratings.
2. Regardless of extent of involvementof mother, father is still important.
3. Type of fathering – traditional supportive roleor highly involved, were equal in impact on child.
Both of these were better than uninvolved father.
