Social Work and Family Relationships: Impact of Paternal Education on Teenage Girls

Summary/Abstract: The theoretical framework of this paper focused on the concepts of paternal education, self-esteem, relationship. These notions have been examined from the perspective of girls in the specific human development period identified as adolescence, with the aim of discovering the possible consequences of their father’s education on them. The main purpose of the study was to determine the role of the father in developing the teenager’s perception of relationships (with himself, with boys). The three objectives that were verified by responses based on respondents’ answers clearly demonstrated that the impact of paternal education on adolescent girls is significant in the process of their continued development and has both positive and negative effects on their lives. The research, based on a qualitative research design, was carried out in the year 2018 through the application of a semi-structured interview to married women up to 35 years of age. It was found that a good relationship between the father and his teenage daughter stimulates self-esteem, contributes to the formation of a correct perception of relationships with boys. The results of the qualitative research were presented in the form of a narrative report. The conclusions were formulated taking into account the limits of this research.
