Objective: This study investigated direct and indirect influences of fathers' parenting involvement on maternal parenting competence by exploring pathways between fathers' parenting involvement, maternal inner strength, and maternal parenting competence. Methods: A total of 329 mothers with 3-year-old children responded to online survey questionnaires, which included questions about fathers' parenting involvement, maternal inner strength, and maternal parenting competence. The data was analyzed by Pearson's correlation coefficients and Structural Equation Modeling. Results: It was observed that maternal inner strength perfectly mediated the association between father's parenting involvement and maternal parenting competence. More concretely, a direct effect of fathers' parenting involvement on maternal parenting competence was not found. It was also found that fathers' parenting involvement effects maternal parenting competence indirectly. The effect of fathers' parenting involvement on maternal inner strength was the greatest among all associations between fathers' parenting involvement, maternal inner strength, and maternal parenting competence. Conclusion/Implications: These findings have insights for research and practice, which emphasize the important considerations that enhancing maternal inner strength and the power of fathers' parenting involvement on maternal inner strength should be emphasized in order to improve maternal parenting competence.

This study investigated the relationship among fathers' parenting involvement, mothers' parenting competence, and young children's self-control. Participants consisted of 325 mothers and young children (169 boys and 153 girls) from the Seoul area who completed questionnaires on fathers' parenting involvement, mothers' parenting competence, and young children's self-control. Data were statistically analyzed using basic descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation, and multiple regression analysis. Baron and Kenny's method was examined. Subsequently, the Sobel test was performed to check the mediating model's significance and was adapted to SPSS version 21.0 for Windows. The major findings were as follows. First, fathers' parenting involvement was positively correlated with young children's self-control and mothers' parenting competence. Second, mothers' parenting competence was positively correlated with young children's self-control. The mothers' parenting competence indicated a tendency to play a perfectly/partially play a mediating role between fathers' parenting involvement and young children's self-control; consequently, a fathers' parenting involvement had a direct effect as well as an indirect effect through the mothers' parenting competence on young children's self-control. The results indicated that a mothers' parenting competence plays a crucial role in the relationship between a fathers' parenting involvement and the young children's self-control.

The study examined the effects of fathers' parenting involvement and parenting behaviors on child happiness. A total of 270 elementary school students in 4th, 5th, and 6th grades (139 boys and 131 girls) participated in the study and completed the questionnaires. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, analyses of variances, correlation coefficients, and multiple regression. Fathers' parenting involvement and parenting behaviors did not differ by gender and grades, but child happiness partially differed in response to those factors. Additionally, child happiness was significantly positively correlated with fathers' parenting involvement and parenting behaviors. Moreover, fathers involvement in leisure activities, daily-life guidance, and study guidance, as well as their being warm receptive and rejective restrictive parenting behaviors were found to be significant variables influencing child happiness. Overall, the results of this study suggest fathers' play important roles in child happiness and that development of an education program for fathers is warranted.

본 연구는 아버지 양육행동에 미치는 양육참여, 양육스트레스, 양육효능감의 상대적 영향력을 규명하는데 목적이 있다. 연구대상은 서울과 경기도에 위치한 어린이집 및 유치원 11개소 만 3 4세 학급 유아의 아버지 299명이었다. 아버지의 양육행동 측정은 박주희(2000)의 '부모 양육행동' 척도를 사용하였으며, 아버지 양육참여는 자녀의 일상적 돌보기 활동과 놀이활동에 참여하는 주중 빈도와 시간의 양을 측정하였다. 또한 아버지의 양육스트레스 측정은 안지영(2001)의 'Parenting Daily Hassles'을, 양육효능감은 신숙재(1997)의 'Parenti ng Sense of Competence'를 사용하였다. 수집된 자료는 주요 변인들의 상관분석을 바탕으로 단계적 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과, 아버지의 긍정적 양육행동인 온정 격려에는 인지효능감과 주중 놀이활동의 참여빈도가, 한계설정에는 인지효능감과 주중 양육활동 참여빈도 및 놀이활동 참여시간이 유의한 설명력을 보였다. 한편 아버지의 부정적 양육행동인 과보호 허용에는 정서효능감과 주중 놀이활동 참여시간이, 거부 방임에는 정서 및 인지효능감 그리고 양육스트레스가 유의한 설명력을 나타냈다.

Predictors of parenting efficacy were examined in 448 college-educated mothers of kindergarten children. The mothers completed measures of maternal self-efficacy, child temperament, and father's child-rearing involvement. Higher parenting self-efficacy was observed in mothers of daughters, older siblings, less emotional, more active, and more sociable children, and among mothers who perceived higher levels of father's child-rearing involvement. Of the father's child-rearing involvement variables, guidance of socially appropriate language and behavior was the best predictor of mothers' parenting efficacy.

본 연구는 아버지의 자녀가치와 문화성향이 자녀의 양육참여에 미치는 영향을 확인하기 위해서 실시되었다. 본 연구는 만3세-5세 유아기 자녀를 둔 아버지 286명을 대상으로 자녀가치, 문화성향과 양육참여, 그리고 개인적 특성을 측정하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 아래와 같다. 첫째, 아버지의 자녀가치 중 정서적 가치는 양육참여에 정적인 영향을 미쳤으며, 도구적 가치는 부정인 영향을 미쳤다. 둘째, 아버지의 문화성향 중 집단주의가 개인주의보다 상대적으로 양육참여에 정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 아버지의 개인적 특성 중 학력은 양육참여에 정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 아버지의 양육참여에 아버지가 자녀에 대해 부여하는 가치와 아버지의 문화성향이 중요한 영향을 미친다는 것을 의미한다. 이를 토대로 추후의 연구와 아버지의 양육참여를 지원하는 방안을 논의하였다.
