Abstract
A survey of 75 professionally accomplished women examined father-daughter communication during daughters' middle-aged years. The daughters' perceptions of relational closeness with their fathers were associated with family communication environment (both conversation and conformity-orientation). Furthermore, daughters' conflict management scores for competing-with-fathers were negatively associated with the daughters' state-communication-apprehension scores. Finally, many non-significant results are inconsistent with results previously obtained with college student samples, perhaps indicating that the influence of father-daughter communication may differ across the lifespan.
