Research Topic: How Child-Parent relationship affect the Romantic Relationship of an Adolescence?

My aim is to examine is there a significant role of parents, in shaping the romantic relationship of an adolescence. Being more specific I studied the effects of closeness to mother and intimate factor of a relationship likewise, the effect of father on how he shapes the quality of the relationship.

Here’s my program :

Univarient graphs for each variable I've selected for my research :

First univarient graphs displays the adolescence plan to marry their current partner in the future. More than 50% of the population plans in doing so.

Second univarient graph depicts the ration of adolescence who would have sex with their current partner. Unlike the previous graph, their is a slight difference between each categorized counts.

Third univarient graph shows the activity of adolescene who are likely to do initimate activities (i.e. hold hands, kiss, say love her/him) with their current partner. Approximately 90% are likely to this situation.

Fourth univarient graph exhibits about what frequency of adolescence feel close to their mother. It is a linear graph with a steep slope towards the end.

Fifth univarient graph maifests about what frequency of adolescence feel close to their father. It's a linear graph with a slightly less steep slope than the previous graph.

Closeness to mother/father is my explantory variable and the factors on which the relationship is measured are my response variable. I choose to have a bar graph as my explanatory variables (H1WP9 and H1WP13) are categorical variables, and my response variables(H1ID1O, H1LR4 and H1ID1Q) are quantative variables. Accumulating all the required variables and data, these are my final bivarient graphs:-

Adolescence having a mature realtionship with mother are likely to experince less intimacy with their partner. Neglecting the outlier, closness to mother =0, the graph clearly conveys that adolescence with nearly no closeness to their mother are more successfull in stabalizing the initimcy factor in their relationships and likewise.

Adolescence who are having a significant factor of colseness to their father are no good in planning a long lasting relatinship with their partner, unlike those who are less open are achievable in staying with their current partner in future.

Research Topic: How child-parent relationship affect the romantic relationship of an adolescence?

I have tried to study the effect of mother on how she plays to shapes the intimacy factor of an adolescence relationship likewise, the effect of father on how he shapes the quality of the relationship.

In the updated version of my work from week 2 I have eliminated the missing data from various columns: 

H1RI10_1 (Is your relationship with {INITIALS} still going on?

H1D1Q (We would get married)

H1D1O (We would have sex.) 

H1LR4 (Did you do these things with the same person? i.e. hold hands, kiss, say love her/him)

For all of the variables mentioned above the entries are defined as 6=refused, 7=skip and 8=Don’t know

Another major step was to code for valid data and recoding values for better results. Thus, including if H1RI10_1 not equal to 9 to the logic statement, in order to separate no responses question to weather your relationship with {INITIALS} still going on, from the observations who’s answer was unknown. Now same rules applies for the next statement I have provide to eliminate the results for the variable H1D1Q and H1LR4.

The first frequency table depicts how many adolescence feel close to their mother and shares thoughts about their partner. I was interested to see if there's a pattern of how mother shapes the intimate relationship.

The second frequency table displays how many adolescence feel close to their father and shares thoughts about their partner. Now here I was suppose to see if there's a pattern how fathers shape the quality of the relationship.

Lastly the third table displays shows how many adolescence were close to both parents but doesn't have a healthy relationship. This is how I can compare the relationship with the previous tables.

Question: Do parents have a significant role in shaping the romantic relationship of an adolescence?

A random sample of 6,504 adolescents were surved in which they were asked "How close do you feel to your {MOTHER/ADOPTIVE MOTHER/ STEPMOTHER/ FOSTER MOTHER/etc.}" and same question was asked with respect to father. The first frequency table depicts how many adolescence feel close to their mother and shares thoughts about their partner. I was interested to see if there's a pattern of how mother shapes the intimate relationship. 

The second frequency table displays how many adolescence feel close to their father and shares thoughts about their partner. Now here I was suppose to see if there's a pattern how fathers shape the quality of the relationship.

Lastly the third table displays shows how many adolescence were close to both parents but doesn't have a healthy relationship. This is how I can compare the relationship with the previous tables.

After looking through the various codebooks provided, I am most excited to explore the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (AddHealth) codebook. My first topic of interest is to study about the adolescent’s romantic relationships.

Preparing Codebook

I would like to base my research, for my codebook, on  Section 21: Ideal Romantic Relationship, Section 22: Romantic Relationship Roster, Section 23: Liked Relationship Roster, Section 25: Relationship Information, Section 26: Non-Relationship History

I would like to merely explore how the the role of parents affect the romantic relationships of an adolescence, which adds to my second topic of interest. 

My codebook will have various variables from the data provided Section 12: Non-Resident Biological Mother ,Section 13: Non-Resident Biological Father, Section 14: Resident Mother, Section 15: Resident Father Section, 16: Relations with Parents plus the sections mentioned before. This would allow me to consider the impact of parents about they support an adolescent. An adolescent could be dubious about the whole idea to discuss romantic relationship with their parents.

How relationship with parents affect romantic relationship of an adolescence? 

Does non-biological parents affect the romantic relationship of an adolescence?

By the support of parents do a adolescence have a healthy and long lasting relationship?

Literature Review

Examining through the research paper and findings developed by other individuals, or a group, I reckon there’s an essential part to be played by parents in adolescence’s romantic relationship. 

Accumulating enough information from resources, available on the internet, we can create a Hypothesis: Both mother and father have roles to play in a  adolescent’s romantic relationship. Research supports that mother educates more about intimacy factor with your partner and fathers play a role in shaping quality of the relationship. 

The question still exists about how a single or homosexual parents(i.e both males as fathers or both females as mothers) manage support their child’s relationship? Is there a significant difference unlike from hetrosexual parents(male and female as father and mother)?
