The purpose of this study was to determine if (1) there was a difference between a sample of homeless and a sample of non-homeless men in self-concept, (2) there was a difference in perceptions of the father-child relationship between these two populations, (3) there were father-child relationship characteristics common to persons who indicated a high self-concept, and (4) there were father-child relationship characteristics common to persons who indicated a low self-concept. The data were based upon information supported by 62 subjects who completed the Tennessee Self-Concept Scale and the Family Life Questionnaire. Findings indicated that there was a significant difference in self-concept and in perceptions of the father-child relationship between the sample of homeless men and the sample of non-homeless men. It was also found that there were father-child relationship characteristics common to persons who indicated a high self-concept and father-child relationship characteristics common to persons who indicated a low self-concept.
