Similarly, the Emotional Independence from One's Father subscale of the PSI
was correlated with the Attitudinal Independence from One's Father subscale, r= .55, p
< .001. This result suggests that African American women who are free from the need

Attitudinal Independence from One's Father subscales, r = .52, p < .001. This result
suggests that African American women who endorse attitudes similar to their mothers
also have attitudes similar to their fathers. The Conflictual Independence from One's
