| dc.description.abstract | In these decades, intact families were decreasing
significantly. As the consequence, many children
were born and raised in single parent families.
Most of single parent families are fatherless
families. Father’s death, divorce, separation, and
out-of-wedlock birth became the cause of fatherless
families. Especially for fatherless teen, they were
associated with many negative problems, such as
physical, emotional, and academic problem, even
some of them are entrapped in alcohol and crime.
The researcher assumes that those negative
problems related with the change of fatherless
family. The aim of this research is describing the
change of fatherless teen after fatherless happened.
Subjects of this research were 13-18 years old
fatherless subjects from three junior and three
senior high school (N=85). It was found that most
of mother experienced positive change in behavior
after father loss however most subjects experienced
emotional problem. Most subjects also told about
their process to be independent, ethical behaving,
and enthusiastic in life. It can be varied based on
the cause of fatherless and the age of subjects when
father loss happened. Among the negative
association of fatherless family in many researches,
positive change of the subjects’ mothers can be a
possibility for understanding | en_US |
