- Start with a Conclusion (fathers are important),
- And then work the study to fit it--
- design an experiment in which there can only be one answer,
- utilize samples that positively influence the study
Damn, that sounds just like parental alienation syndrome.
I don't even know if I trust statistics anymore.
The following exerpt is from a study entitled, "Fathers Have Great Impact On Their Children's Lives, Even When Not At Home:"
Another contradiction to prior research, which believed a child with two parents in his or her life is better off than one, may not necessarily be true. Obviously a happy marriage between two parents is best for children. However, King said if there is constant turmoil between the parents, their child might be better off with just one parent in his or her life and less turbulence.
Hmmm. Which parent?
Bet they weren't anticipating that one.
