Abstract

Premarital sexual behavior among emerging adults is a complex issue deeply intertwined with family dynamics, particularly the quality of paternal involvement. This qualitative case study aims to comprehensively analyze the dynamics of father involvement and its impact on the decision-making processes of female university students regarding premarital sexual activity in Padang City. Utilizing a purposive sampling technique, data were collected through in-depth interviews and behavioral observations from three female university students. Thematic analysis was conducted utilizing Lamb’s (2000) tripartite framework of father involvement, comprising engagement, accessibility, and responsibility. The findings reveal three distinct psychological typologies. First, partial involvement characterized by instrumental provision but emotional absence drives daughters to seek affective compensation through sexual compliance. Second, total paternal absence compounded by relational dysfunction and hostility fosters alienation, utilizing sexuality as a manifestation of rebellion. Third, paradoxically, high physical and emotional involvement fails as an absolute protective factor if moral internalization is executed through rigid dogmatism, which hinders the development of autonomous self-regulation. The study concludes that effective paternal protection transcends physical presence and financial support; it necessitates dialogic communication and emotional warmth to cultivate robust internal self-control, enabling daughters to navigate interpersonal pressures in unsupervised environments.

Abstract

Fatherlessness, defined as the physical or psychological absence of a father figure, is a prevalent phenomenon with significant long-term psychological consequences. This qualitative case study investigates the underexplored link between fatherlessness and marital anxiety among early adult women in Padang, Indonesia, a context with strong traditional and patriarchal norms. Through in-depth interviews and thematic analysis of two purposively selected participants (aged 21 and 22), the study examines the subjective experience and psychological underpinnings of this anxiety. Findings reveal that marital anxiety is not a singular fear but a complex syndrome stemming from a disrupted father-daughter attachment, which fosters a profound and generalized distrust of men. This foundational trauma interacts with the participants’ critical consciousness of patriarchal inequalities within marriage, transforming anxiety into a form of ideological resistance against perceived systemic injustice. Furthermore, sociocultural pressures to marry and constant exposure to negative marital narratives exacerbate this distress. A key insight is the identification of a distinct relational pathway leading to marital avoidance, contrasting with other documented responses to paternal absence. The study concludes that for these women, marital anxiety represents a meaningful, adaptive response to personal trauma and structural inequity. These findings underscore the need for support frameworks that address both attachment wounds and sociocultural critiques, offering a nuanced perspective for clinicians and researchers working on intergenerational trauma and gender-based psychological distress.
