다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The objective of the present research was to examine the relationship between fathers` rearing behaviors, playfulness, and young children`s playfulness. The subjects of the research were 207 children aged from 4 to 5, and their fathers. The major results of the present research were as follows: (1) Fathers` love for fun appeared to be in a positive relation with all sub-areas of fathers` playfulness. In cases that the children were boys, the more fathers loved fun, humor and wit, the more they tended to involve themselves in rearing their children, and to guide their children rationally. The more fathers loved humor, wit, fun, and optimism, the more they tended to use limit setting. On the other hand, in cases that the children were girls, the more fathers loved fun, the more they tended to involve themselves in roaring their children and to guide their children rationally. (2) Especially, in cases that the children were boys, fathers `love for fun and optimism appeared to have significant effects on young children`s physical spontaneity and sense of humor. On the other hand, in cases that the children were girls, fathers` love for fun appeared to have a significant effect on young children`s sense of humor, expression of joy and cognitive spontaneity, except for their physical spontaneity.
