Quote, Summary, Source Analysis, and Citation #5


"Whether and how fathers maintain relationships with their children is dependent on an interaction of complex factors. Because of this complexity, the literature is confusing and often conflicting regarding factors and mechanisms that affect the relationship between father involvement and child adjustment, especially following parental divorce. Empirical findings suggest a wide array of interrelated, entangled factors that predict father involvement and link father involvement to child adjustment."

This quote is about the fathers and their relationships with the children who are now on their own.  This is logos because it is strictly factual and percise.  It talks about how their relationship will most likely be; however, every situation is different.  A father should be in a child's life in some way, and if a child has that involvement then the child will have a succesful relationship with their father.
