I'm doing a case study and I need some assistance.

Problem:
The kid's parents were divorced when he was very young, and he has no contact with his father since he was 5 years old.

Would this experience impact him more psychologically or anthropologically?

Here's another question, would a person reacting with a group of people be sociological or anthropological? Like a boy with friends.

What i don't get is like if a person is interacting with a group of people is it a "people" culture, or social interaction O_o'

main question: the kid will not grow up with the traditions passed on by his father from his forefathers.
Anthropologically speaking, single parents are becoming a "norm", which the child may grow up to feel it is sociably acceptable to "abandon" (for sake of conversation).

I feel, the immediate impact would be psychological. Anthropological through generations, because it will either re-enforce the desire to "stick out" a marriage or relationship for the sake of a child (or at least WITH the child), OR propagate abandonment, because the "male:" child was abandoned and that starts a trend.

The last part: anthropological, as in social behavior. What the boy does with the group, sociological, weighing heavy on peer pressure.
(I do feel it is interesting your focus is on a male. I think female would have different results, in the long run.) These are just my opinions, I hope they help give you a sense of balance.

I suggest that you start by defining anthropology and sociology.
