다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study was to develop instruments for measuring paternal child rearing involvement. A second purpose was to investigate the relationship between social competency of child and the father`s involvement in child rearing. Fathers` child rearing involvement inventories were administered to 513 5th and 6th grade school students to evaluate children`s perceived father`s rearing involvement. Assessment of the child`s social competency by the mother was by the modified Iowa Social Competency Scale. Data were analyzed by factor analysis, Pearson`s correlation coefficient, and canonical correlation. The main results were as follows: (1) There were differences in mean scores between variables on father`s child rearing involvement. The mean score of `day-to-day guidance` was higher than such father`s involvement variables as `family activities`, `household affairs`, `home education`. (2) There was a significant correlation between the social competency of children and father`s child rearing involvement. In other words, fathers` child rearing involvement showed significant correlations with `the capability` and `leadership` of children. (3) The canonical analysis in two variables-the fathers` child rearing involvement (independent variables) and the children`s social competency (dependent variables)-showed that the child variables most highly correlated to the independent variables were `capability` and `affection toward parents`. This also indicated that the father variables accounted for about 9.4 % of the variation in social competency. In conclusion, the father`s child rearing involvement can he recognized as significant variable in predicting the social competency of children.
