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.
