dc.description.abstractThis correlational cross-sectional study examined the relationship between father-daughter dynamics and psychological well-being among adolescent girls in Addis Ababa (n = 338) and Accra (n = 226). Participants were recruited from five schools; Cambridge Academy, Falcon Academy, and Frehiwot Secondary School in Addis Ababa; Ghana Lebanon Islamic School (GLISS) and Ghana Atomic Energy Commission Basic Schools (GAECBS) in Accra as well as youths from local church associations. Data were collected both in person and online via Google Forms, using the Father’s Presence Questionnaire and the Psychological Well-Being Adolescent Brief Scale. Psychological well-being was significantly correlated with Father’s Presence domains (r = .60 -. 61 in Addis Ababa; r = .687 - .707 in Accra; p < .001), and with overall Father’s Presence scores (r = .68 in Addis Ababa; r = .706 in Accra; p < .001). Father’s Presence also improved model fit from R² = .20 to .28 in Addis Ababa and from R² =.31 to .58 in Accra, demonstrating strong predictive value, especially in Accra. Sociodemographic predictors were analyzed using ANOVA and regression. Conclusion and recommendation were provided based on that. Keywords: Childhood father-daughter relationship, adolescents, psychological well-being
