本研究以後設分析的方法，整理國內過去量化文獻中，探討子女因素和子女對父親的依附關係、父親因素和子女對父親的依附關係，以及子女對父親的依附和子女生活間的關係。被選入的後設分析文獻計有14篇，其中碩士論文13篇、期刊論文1篇。從中找出用來後設分析的統計結果計有63個。後設分析的結果發現，完整的家庭結構和子女對父親的依附間有顯著的正向關係及小效果值；而父親安全依附對子女的正向壓力知覺、負向壓力知覺、生活適應和人際問題解決等生活層面有顯著的正向關係及中度的效果值。

This meta-analysis includes 14 studies involving about 9,600 individuals. The question addressed is whether father's backgrounds are associated with children's attachment security to their fathers, whether children's attachment security is associated with children's life, and what the strength of these relations are. The main result finds: Children from intact family show positive attachment security to their fathers (Z=6.188***, □=0.128), but according to Cohen's (1977) conventional criteria, the effect size is small. Attachment security to fathers is associated with children's positive pressure consciousness(Z=11.731***, □=0.378), negative pressure consciousnesses (Z=-17.571**, □=-0.325), life adaption (Z=12.006***, □=0.404), and interpersonal problem solving (Z=17.804***, □=0.267), according to Cohen, the effect size is moderate.
