Adolescent fathers and nonfathers were compared as to their belief in a sense of personal control and responsibility for their own lives (locus of control); ability to optimistically trust others (interpersonal trust); taking an active orientation to life's demands and problems (coping style); and family/generational pattern of unwed parenthood. Participants were 24 unwed adolescent fathers and 27 unwed adolescent nonfathers, aged 15-19 years. Each participant completed a questionnaire containing a Rotter Internal-External Locus of Control Scale, the Rotter Interpersonal Trust Scale, the Behavioral Attributes of Psychosocial Competence, and a scale measuring family pattern of unwed parenthood. Results suggest that adolescent fathers are usually older, more likely to have been born out-of-wedlock, and less trusting than nonfathers. The implications for casework with adolescent fathers are discussed.
他们对自身生活的个人控制感和责任感（控制点）；乐观信任他人的能力（人际信任）；对生活需求和问题采取积极的取向（应对方式）；以及未婚生育的家庭/代际模式。研究对象为24名年龄在15至19岁之间的未婚青少年父亲和27名未婚青少年非父亲。每位参与者都完成了一份问卷，其中包括罗特内外控制点量表、罗特人际信任量表、心理社会能力的行为属性量表，以及一个测量未婚生育家庭模式的量表。结果表明，青少年父亲通常年龄较大，非婚生的可能性更高，并且比非父亲更缺乏信任感。文中还讨论了对青少年父亲进行个案工作的意义。
