The questionnaire asked about the fathers' age, income, working conditions, participation in childcare, recognition of sense of usefulness to their family, marital satisfaction, mental health, health-related quality of life(QOL), and the mothers' age, number of children, age of the youngest child, and working conditions. A casual model was examined using SEM. The results were as follows: first, fathers' participation in childcare contributed to health-related QOL through the recognition of feeling useful to their family. Second, fathers' participation in childcare contributed to marital satisfaction, directly and indirectly through health -related QOL and improved mental health. Third, fathers' participation in childcare contributed to health related QOL through the recognition of feelings of usefulness, marital satisfaction, and mental health, indirectly.

The actual time fathers spend in childcare has not increased much in spite of recent attention paid to nurturing their children and changes in the fathers' role. In this study, parenting time is measured by time spent in childcare, shared housework, and shared leisure. In this way, this study seeks to analyze trends in fathers' time spent with children and the factors that influence fathers' participation in parenting. The data source for this study was the 2009 Korean Time Use Survey. The main results of this research are as follows: First, when measuring childcare time as a primary activity, fathers' time spent in parenting averaged 17 minutes on weekdays and 32 minutes on Sundays. This extended to 44 minutes on weekdays and 166 minutes on Sundays when including the secondary childcare time and the shared time with their children while doing housework or leisure. Second, fathers' probability of participating in childcare was higher for fathers who had shorter working hours, younger children, higher spouse average monthly income, and a college or higher education level. The variable that influenced fathers' participation in shared housework on weekdays was working hours. On Sundays, the variables were working hours, age of the youngest child, and the type of occupation. Fathers' participation in shared leisure was influenced by father's working hours, number of children, age of the youngest child, and type of occupation on weekdays. On Sundays, it was influenced by working hours and the age of the youngest child.

In past patriarchal societies, childbearing was considered the sole possession of women. At a time when women were struggling to move into society, the concept of parenting as the mainstay of the capitalist economic society and the head of the family has naturally been taken for granted by a woman named "housewife." Since the role of male babies is as important as that of females, Fathers are trying to promote the importance of the effects of fathers due to active participation in childcare and help change old perceptions of the past. Men also know the importance of participating in childcare in early childhood, but often do not know what their children want or why they cry due to lack of basic child care knowledge and lack of education. We tried to give fathers the meaning of indirect experience and change their perception of parenting by producing interactive VR content, which is completed with dad's participation, so that they can experience the child in person. In addition, through familiar childcare professional product advertisement and 360 degree stereo sound. It is made to immerse in the game to gain persuasive effect, inducing fathers to have interest and interest in childrearing.

본 연구는 맞벌이와 외벌이 아버지의 미취학자녀 돌봄시간의 변화를 파악하고 아버지의 자녀돌봄 활동의 특성 변화를 규명하기 위하여 돌봄의 하위활동영역을 각각 필수돌봄, 발달돌봄, 기타돌봄으로 분류하였다. 이를 위해 통계청 생활시간조사자료 중 2004, 2009, 2014, 2019년의 4개 연도 15년간의 자료를 사용하여 평일(근무일)의 아버지 자녀돌봄시간과 참여율을 분석하였다, 본 연구의 주요결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 아버지가 미취학자녀를 돌보는 시간은 증가 추이를 나타냈다. 특히, 맞벌이 아버지는 2004년과 비교하여 2019년에 자녀돌봄시간이 24분 증가하여 15년 동안 2배 가량의 증가를 보였다. 둘째, 아버지의 돌봄유형을 분석한 결과, 2004년에는 생존과 직결되지 않고 간헐적 참여가 가능한 발달돌봄 참여율이 자녀의 생존과 건강유지를 위한 필수돌봄에 참여율보다 적었으나, 2019년에는 외벌이 아버지는 필수돌봄과 발달돌봄 참여율이 유사하였고, 맞벌이 아버지는 필수돌봄 참여율이 더 높게 나타났다. 셋째, 아버지의 자녀돌봄시간에 영향을 미치는 변수에는 아버지의 연령, 교육수준, 성평등의식, 시장노동시간, 출퇴근시간 등이 통계적으로 유의하였다. 특히, 시장노동시간은 모든 조사시기에 영향을 미치는 변수였으며, 성평등의식은 외벌이 아버지 집단에서 최근까지 영향을 미치는 변수로 나타났다. 이상의 연구결과는 맞벌이 아버지와 외벌이 아버지 모두 자녀돌봄시간이 점차 증가하는 추세를 보였으며, 특히 발달돌봄뿐아니라 필수돌봄에 사용하는 시간이 늘어났다는 점에서 부모의 공동양육 책임이 실현되는 방향으로의 긍정적 변화를 시사한다. 또한, 이는 지난 15년간의 아버지 자녀돌봄 행태의 변화에 대한 이해를 위한 기초자료로 사용될 수 있으며, 향후 가족친화 정책의 구체적 과제를 제안하고 지역사회 등에서 아버지 대상 자녀돌봄 프로그램을 개발하는 근거자료로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

The purpose of this study was to examine the main and interaction effects of fathers' parenting and their play participation on emotional regulation of preschoolers. The participants of this study consisted of 269 preschoolers (M: 61.4 months, SD: 15.3) located in Seoul and Gyeong-gi province. The results of regression analysis revealed that; 1) Father's parenting (such as rational instruction, friendly attitude) positively predicted child's emotion regulations. 2) The interaction effects of fathers' parenting (such as parenting participation, reaction, rational instruction, friendly attitude) with their constructive play participation predicted children's emotion regulations. Namely, fathers with higher constructive play participation showed higher emotion regulations of preschoolers under father's parenting participation, reaction, rational instruction and friendly attitude. 3) The interaction effects between fathers' functional play participation and father's parenting participation predicted children's emotion regulations. Findings indicate that fathers play a role in improving children's emotion regulation by parenting. Moreover, its effects appeared more apparently when fathers participated with constructive and functional play methods. In conclusion, it is suggested that fathering and the level of play involvement may be key variables for developing young children's emotion regulation.

본 연구는 2019 통계청 생활시간조사 자료를 분석하여 미취학자녀를 둔 아버지의 돌봄유형별 자녀돌봄 행태와 영향 요인을 근무일과 비근무일로 나누어 살펴보았다. 본 연구의 주요 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 미취학 자녀를 둔 아버지들은 비근무일에 근무일의 3배 이상의 시간을 자녀돌봄에 사용하였으며, 참여율 또한 비근무일에 더 높았다. 둘째, 맞벌이 아버지와 외벌이 아버지 모두 필수돌봄과 발달돌봄에 사용한 시간이 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 필수돌봄에 대한 요구가 높은 시기임을 고려할 때 아버지들이 필수 돌봄에 발달돌봄과 비슷한 정도의 참여를 하고 있다는 점은 고무적인 결과라고 할 수 있다. 셋째, 아버지들은 어머니의 시간가용성을 고려하여 근무일과 비근무일 간에 돌봄유형별 돌봄 참여를 조정하는 것으로 보인다. 넷째, 아버지의 근무일의 자녀돌봄 시간은 근무일과 비근무일 모두 가정 내 돌봄 요구와 관련되는 변수들의 영향력이 컸으며, 돌봄유형 중 발달돌봄 시간은 분석에 투입된 독립변수들에 의해 거의 설명되지 않았다. 연구 결과로 볼 때, 아버지의 양육참여를 제고하기 위해서는 근로시간 단축과 다양한 가족친화제도의 도입이 요구되며, 부부가 자녀 돌봄에 대한 공동책임을 가지고 자녀양육을 함께 해나갈 수 있도록 아버지들의 양육책임에 대한 인식 변화 또한 필요하다.
