ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between fathers' child-rearing behaviors and involvements and children's stress coping behaviors. The subjects of this study were 405 children of fifth and sixth grade. Fathers’ child-rearing behaviors and involvements were assessed by the 'Fathers' Child-Rearing Behaviors Scale(Choi, 1992)' and the 'Fathers' Child-Rearing Involvements Scale(Choi, 1992)'. Children's stress coping behaviors were assessed by 'Children's Stress Coping Behaviors Scale(Min & Yoo, 1998)'. The results of this study were as follows: (1) The significant differences were found in fathers' child-rearing behaviors and involvements as a function of social demographic factors. (2) The significant differences were found in children's stress coping behaviors as a function of social demographic factors. (3) There were significant correlations between paternal child-rearing behaviors and involvements and children's stress coping behaviors. In particular, the relationship between fathers' child-rearing behaviors and involvements and children's stress coping behaviors showed high correlations in the categories of active and social support seeking coping behaviors. (4) The results of the regression analyses for children's stress coping behaviors showed that about 10% of the variance was explained by two variables of fathers' child-rearing behaviors; 'autonomy', 'achievement', and that about 9.4% of the variance was accounted for by two variables of paternal child-rearing involvements; 'day-to-day guidance', 'home education'.
