The purpose of this study is to explore Korean divorced mothers' experiences of noncustodial fathers' involvement in children's lives after divorce and co-parenting relationships. The data were collected from 17 mothers who were divorced between the years of 2004 and 2009, and were raising at least one minor child. Data were analyzed based on the inductive data analysis method. Divorced mothers' experiences of noncustodial fathers' involvement in children's lives after divorce were categorized in three ways: a satisfactory on-going relationship, a dissatisfactory on-going relationship, and a discontinued relationship. The results show that a few mothers were satisfied with the degree of the fathers' involvement in the children's lives 1) if the fathers were interested in their children and responsive to their children, and 2) if the fathers paid either child support or provided some financial supports for their children based on the fathers' financial abilities. However, the majority of the mothers were dissatisfied with the degree of the fathers' involvement in the children's lives. While some of the mothers maintained a relationship with the children's fathers despite their dissatisfaction, others discontinued the relationship. Regarding the co-parenting relationship after divorce, the relationships with the fathers were classified as either cooperative relationships or uncooperative relationships. The majority of the mothers experienced difficulties establishing cooperative co-parenting relationships with the fathers, but three mothers had cooperative relationships. The reasons for these uncooperative relationships were: uncooperative fathers, uncooperative mothers, or ambiguous communication regarding parenting after divorce. These findings suggest parenting education for divorced parents.

The purpose of this study is (1) to explore fathers' interest and involvement concerning their child's education as related to demographic variables of family, fathers' parenting behavior, and participation in the daily life of their children. A total of 220 fathers of children in elementary to high school participated in this study and responded to a questionnaire. T-test, oneway ANOVA, correlation analysis, and regression analysis were used for data analysis. The findings are as follows: 1) The level of fathers' interest and involvement in their child's education was relatively high. 2) Fathers' interest and involvement in their child's education were significantly different according to the father's educational level and socioeconomic status, but not to the child's gender and age. The better a child's school achievement was, the higher the father's interest and involvement in their child's education was. 3) Fathers' affectionate parenting behavior and participation in the daily life of their children affected the fathers' interest and involvement in their children's education. The importance of fathers' interest and participation concerning their child's education was discussed.

The purpose of this study was to examine the variables that influence paternal parenting behavior. 160 fathers of five-year old preschoolers(85 boys and 75 girls) were recruited from 8 daycare centers located in Seoul, Korea and answered the questionnaire on the subject of attachment experience with their parents of origin based on their retrospective memories, marital satisfaction, spouse's gatekeeping, and their own parenting behavior as fathers cohabiting with their children. Data were analyzed through frequencies, an independent sample t-test, Pearson's correlations, the stepwise regression analyses using SPSS 15.0. The findings are as follows. First, there was no statistically significant difference in paternal parenting behavior according to children's gender. Second, marital satisfaction and attachment experience with their own mothers in childhood influenced all five subcategories of paternal parenting behavior(parental involvement, limit setting, responsiveness, reasoning guidance, intimacy) and spouse's gatekeeping influenced father's reasoning guidance and intimacy. Unexpectedly, attachment experience with their own father had no impact on any subcategories of paternal parenting behavior.

본 연구는 교차지연 모형을 사용하여 비혼 아버지(unmarried fathers)의 양육참여와 아동의 문제행동 간에 인과관계를 분석하였다. 분석을 위해 미국 취약가구 및 아동복지연구자료(Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study)를 사용하였으며, 아버지가 자녀와 동거하지 않는 비혼여성 한부모가구만 선별하여 총 3,409가구를 연구대상으로 설정하였다. 비혼 아버지의 양육참여는 아동방문빈도와 도구적 양육지원, 지지적 양육태도의 세 가지 하위변수로 측정하였으며, 아버지의 양육참여와 아동의 문제행동을 각각 아동의 3세와 5세, 9세 시점에서 반복측정한 변수를 사용하여 시간의 흐름에 따른 각 변수의 변화를 고려하였다. 연구결과, 비혼 아버지의 양육참여는 아동의 문제행동을 결정하는 유의미한 요인인 것으로 검증되었다. 전반적으로 아동연령 3-5세 시점에서 비혼 아버지의 적극적인 양육참여는 5-9세 시점에서의 아동문제행동을 감소시키는 것으로 분석되었다. 연구결과를 기초로 비혼 아버지의 지속적인 양육참여를 유도하기 위한 정책적 실천적 전략에 대해 논의하였으며, 동시에 보다 효과적으로 아버지의 역할과 책임을 이해하고 관련 기술을 습득할 수 있도록 자녀양육, 관계형성기술, 갈등해결 기술 등의 구체적인 서비스 제공 및 프로그램 개발과 지원방안을 제시하였다.

Little is known about the relationship between fathers and their preadolescent children in Korea or about variations in fathering by SES and sex role orientation. The purpose of this exploratory research was to examine variation in contemporary Korean fathering (e.g., warmth of fathering, frequency of father involvement, and task share of father involvement) and its influence on children's sex role development. One hundred and twenty-nine fathers, mothers, and their 11-13-year-old children completed standardized survey questionnaires addressing their childrearing practices, parental role involvement, spousal support, and sex role orientations. Data were analyzed using MANOVAs, t-test, correlational analyses, and multiple regression analyses. Mothers reported more warmth in parenting than did fathers. Regardless of sex of child middle class fathers reported more warmth than lower class fathers and lower frequency of task share than lower class fathers. Regardless of SES, fathers with working wives reported higher levels of task share of involvement relative to their spouse. Fathers who were more frequently involved with their children tended to receive greater support from their wives for paternal involvement. There were no differences in parenting by sex of child nor was fathering associated with children's sex role orientation. Girls' femininity was related to fathers' masculinity. SES, maternal support, fathers' femininity, parents' education level, and maternal work status had predictive ability for the ecological view that fathering is a dynamic process predicted by personal characteristics as well as contextual factors.

This study analyzed the trend of researches regarding parenting involvement of fathers with early childhood children in terms of research period, research content and research method. Forty master's thesis and doctoral dissertation and 22 articles were selected for final analysis. Collected data were analyzed using frequency and percentage ratio. The results of this study showed that research on the parenting involvement of fathers has been rapidly increased since 2005. From the perspective of research content, studies dealing with parenting involvement of fathers as an independent variable focused on early children and social and emotional variables. Most of studies dealing with parenting involvement of fathers as an dependent variable consistently dealt with demographic variables. From the perspective of research method, most researches were quantitative and non-experimental. No research was done using qualitative method and all researches except one were done using non-experimental method. The number of participants in most researches were over 100 and less than 400. Most researches used participants from one particular district. Research instruments validated in Korea were used in most researches. These results were discussed with suggestions for further study.

본 연구의 목적은 자녀 출생부터 5년까지의 아버지 양육참여의 변화 궤적에 따른 잠재집단을 확인하고, 확인된 잠재집단에 따라 자녀의 문제행동 및 어머니의 양육스트레스, 부부갈등, 결혼만족도, 우울에 차이가 있는지 확인하는 것이다. 한국아동패널 1차년도(2008년)에서 5차년도(2012년)까지 자료의 1,316명 데이터를 분석하였으며, 잠재계층성장분석과 다변량분산분석을 활용하였다. 분석 결과, 첫째, 2차 함수 모형에 기초한 잠재계층성장분석을 통해 어머니가 지각한 아버지의 양육참여 변화 유형은 '최저수준 무변화형 집단', '중수준 감소형 집단', '중상수준 변동형 집단', '최상수준 변동형 집단'의 네 유형이 확인되었다. 본 연구에서 확인한 잠재집단의 특징은 아버지 양육참여 수준이 가장 낮은 집단의 경우 양육참여 수준의 변화가 잘 나타나지 않으며, 아버지의 양육참여 수준이 높은 집단의 경우에도 자녀가 네 살이 되는 시점부터는 양육참여 수준이 감소한다는 것이다. 둘째, 아버지의 양육참여 수준이 지속적으로 감소하는 '중수준 감소형 집단'이 아버지 참여수준이 제일 높은 '최상수준 변동형 집단'보다 자녀의 외현화 문제행동이 더 많은 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, '최저수준 무변화형 집단'과 '중수준 감소형 집단'이 '중상수준 변동형 집단'과 '최상수준 변동형 집단'보다 어머니의 양육스트레스, 부부갈등, 우울 수준은 높은 반면, 결혼만족도는 '최상수준 변동형 집단', '중상수준 변동형 집단', '중수준 감소형 집단', '최저수준 무변화형 집단' 순으로 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구는 아버지 양육참여의 변화 특성이 자녀뿐 아니라 어머니의 삶에 많은 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 시사하며, 아버지 양육참여를 촉진하기 위한 사회적 노력과 정책적 개입이 필요함을 시사한다.

This current study was designed to explore the meaning of being a mother and a father in contemporary Korean society by examining their roles perceived by mothers and fathers with children at different developmental stages. A total of three hundred and ninety four couples with children aged from one to seventeen years were recruited for the study, and they were asked to complete a set of questionnaires about paternal and maternal roles each. A modified version of Generative Fathering Scales by Lee et al.(1999), was used to measure the roles perceived by fathers and mothers in two areas: (1) parenting responsibilities and (2) involvement in childrearing practices. The parental roles, as expected, were viewed differently by the surveyees with children at different ages: the younger child/ren a father has, the more involvement he emphasizes in childrearing. These results indicate that the roles of mothers and fathers should be considered in the context of developing children.

The purpose of this study is to synthesize research findings on the relationship between parenting efficacy and the variables related to it, as well as to produce results using meta-analysis. The following questions guide this study : Which variables are frequently conducted in research related to parenting efficacy? What is the effect size of each variable? The 65 studies whose results are analyzed in this paper were collected via a search for investigations focusing on 'parenting efficacy'. The studies were used for meta-analysis in which eleven variables were selected. The results of the analysis indicate that a large effect size is produced by the parenting stress in a negative direction. A higher than medium effect size occurs on the basis of parenting beliefs in a negative direction. A higher than medium effect size is also caused by the father's involvement in child care and social support. A medium effect size is produced on the basis of children's temperament, and a small effect size is the result of the mother's academic background, parenting knowledge, and parent's income. There is no relationship between parenting efficacy and children's gender.
