ABSTRACT
This paper investigates the multifaceted relationship between father involvement, father-daughter relationships, and daughters’ self-esteem development. A total sample of 120 females was selected through purposive sampling. Variables were assessed through Child Report of Parental Behaviour Inventory. (Form for father), Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale Father-Daughter Relationship Assessment Questionnaire. Drawing on psychological theories, empirical research, and cultural perspectives, the study explores how various dimensions of father involvement, such as emotional support, communication, and shared influence daughters’ perceptions of themselves and their worth. Through a comprehensive analysis of the role of father involvement in daughters’ self-esteem development, this dissertation aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of the complex dynamics of father-daughter relationships and inform interventions and support services aimed at promoting positive father-daughter dynamics and enhancing daughters’ self-esteem across diverse cultural contexts.
