Hypothesis

The degree of female extramarital sexual activity is negatively associated with the degree of father-child contact during infancy (134).

Note

Although there is a statistically significant relationship between female extramarital activity and marriage system, the degree of female extramarital sexual activity is not related to father-child contact.
