There are convincing reasons to believe that children in single-parent homes fare better living with a same-sex parent; nevertheless, the empirical basis for this belief is limited to isolated small scale projects. Using data from the National Educational Longitudinal Study of 1988 with subsamples of 3483 and 409 eighth graders living in mother-only and father-only homes, respectively), we provide a more rigorous test of the same-sex argument. Of the 35 social psychological and educational outcomes studied, we cannot find even one in which both males and females benefit significantly from living with their same-sex parent. Multivariate analysis identifies only four cut comes in which the interaction between the sex of the parent and the sex of the child is significant; moreover, the direction of the interaction effects for these four items runs counter to same-sex expectations. These findings cast serious doubt on the same-sex argument.
