다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Paternal involvement is an important predictor of child-care based on the finding that father`s parenting involvement enhances positive influences on children. A large body of research in paternal involvement, however, has only focused on its qualitative and qualitative effects on mother, father, and the development of children, itself. Thus, with regard to the predictive relationships of perception of paternal involvement and parenting attitude, the goal of this study was to explore how perceptive gap of paternal involvement between mother and father influences on children`s interactive peer play and how it relates with mother`s marital conflict, depression, and parenting attitude. It was assumed that children of parents who do not have a large gap about paternal involvement were likely to show better interactive peer play and mothers who have less gap about parental involvement with their husbands were likely to perceive less marital conflict, depression, and to have positive parenting attitude. Data of 1,553 samples from the fourth year of the Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey were used to analyzed and the results from this current study were suggested as follow. First, the perceptive gap about paternal involvement between mother and father did not presented any direct effects on children`s interactive peer play. Second, it was proved that mother`s perceived marital conflict was mediated between the perceptive gap about paternal involvement and mother`s depression, mother`s perceived marital conflict and depression were mediated between the perceptive gap about paternal involvement and the interactive peer play of children according to the specific indirect effect by using phantom variables. These results adds to the existing body of literature by providing new sights that the perceptive gap about paternal involvement between mother and father has a critical effects on the development of children as much as the quantity and the quality of paternal involvement.
