The purposes of the study were to investigate the association between the variables presented below. / The sample was drawn from fifth and sixth grade girls who attended a developmental research school or a private school in Florida or the public schools in Mississippi. The 58 father-daughter dyads were asked to meet together with the researcher. / School achievement (dependent variable) was measured by grade point average. Independent measures for girls were: self-esteem--measured by the Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory; sex role orientation--measured by the Adolescent Sex Role Inventory; dependency--measured by the Children's Dependency Scale; parent perception--measured by the Piety Parent Perception Inventory. / Independent measures for fathers were: self-esteem--measured by the Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory; sex role orientation--measured by the Bem Sex Role Inventory; fathers' perception of daughers' self-esteem--measured by the Coopersmith Behavioral Academic Self-Esteem Inventory. / The only difference between the participants due to location appeared to be in the Behavioral Academic Self-Esteem scores (t = 3.127;48). / Nine hypotheses were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences. A correlation matrix was constructed and multiple regression was utilized. Alpha was pre-set at .05. / No significant relationships were found between: fathers' and daughters' sex role orientations; fathers' masculinity level and self-esteem; girls' self-esteem and fathers' self-esteem; girls' grade point averages and sex role orientations; grade point averages and girls' dependency levels. / Significant relationships were found between: fathers' femininity level and self-esteem; girls' dependency level and achievement test scores; grade point average and self-esteem; girls' grade point averages and I.Q. Each block of variables made a significant contribution to the prediction of girls' grade point averages. / All of the undifferentiated fathers had undifferentiated daughters except one who had an androgynous daughter. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 43-02, Section: B, page: 0395. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1982.
