What are "daddy issues"? The question is whether there exists a phenomenon in which a girl that had a bad relationship with a father (referring to a father that's too harsh, too cruel or that doesn't show love, and hates his daughter) implies that the girl will try to seek male attention and approval, when a "normal" individual would not, or a girl that seeks to be with "bad boys".

I'm interested in knowing if this has been researched and what is the name of this topic in cognitive science.

Note: I couldn't find any tag myself that fits for this question, I choosed any tag because I couldn't post, please change it if you can to something related to the question.
"Daddy issues" is not a well-defined term, however, the extrapolation of attachment style theory answers to this question somewhat. 

Relationship outcomes of different attachment styles

(this is not clearly cognitive science, and more precisely "family issues" instead of "daddy issues")
