AB  - In India, there are only scant literatures that look into this connection between father’s involvement and mental wellbeing of adolescents particularly from the point of view of adolescents. The current study examined the relationship between adolescent’s perspective on the level of their father’s involvement and life satisfaction, an indicator of psychological adjustment. Participants included 100 students in the age group of 12-18 years studying in two public schools in Kumily, a village in Kerala State. Standardized questionnaires were used to measure the level of perceived father involvement and life satisfaction among participants. The results indicated that there was a statistically significant positive correlation between perceived father involvement and life satisfaction. The strong association found between these two aspects call for more longitudinal studies to be conducted to establish the causal relationship and measures to promote the involvement of fathers should become a priority when adolescent wellbeing is considered.
