Social science Abstract For this research, the observation is that in a single-parent family structure, children are more likely to generate delinquency and show antisocial behavior relative to children raised by both a mother and a father. This research seeks to answer the following question: why do children in single-parent family structures have a higher chance of generating delinquency compared to a two-parent family structure? Three models are identified along with the pertinent implications/hypotheses for each model. This research is basically an experimental research. This independent variable is a manipulated environmental stimulus dimension, and the dependent variable will be the behavioral dimension which reflects the influence of the independent variable.
