what should i google to find out if daughters being closer to their dad is more common than boys to their moms

Question

okay so im doing a project for science. I am trying to see if girls tend to be closer to their dads than boys to their moms. i have to do research to find out any prior statistics and studies. i have been searching a ton of things and have found nothing. But we all know that everything is on the internet! i just have to find it. so what should i put in to google to find this?
i have put in:
father daughter relationships
daddy's girl
momma's boy
mother son relationships
which is more common father daughter relationships or mother son?
girls favor dads
boys favor moms

and i have not gotten anything i was looking for.
so any ideas?

Answer 1

Psychology stay's alway from the sexes in a general sense, so thats pretty specific, hence why you have to do so much research. But the term your missing from your search is "Parent-child relationship", then you can refine it from there.

also a backwards way to go, is by the problems having bad relationships in this area would cause, so:

De/Attachment Disorders
Abandonment issues
Seperation anxiety
Sex role intenty issues.

I wish you the best of luck, its a documented fact so you shouldn't have to much trouble finding it, stay away from congnitive psychology thou, I believe there way of looking at it, excludes the power of the sex role within the family relationship, really boarder line sociology stuff so peek in that terriory a little.....
