Abstract

Objectives In this study, variables affecting the parenting efficacy of fathers with infant children were selected and the structural relationship between them was analyzed. Methods To this end, a test was conducted on 518 fathers of infants in Seoul, Gyeonggi-do, and Chungcheong-do to measure variables related to parenting efficacy. Self-elasticity, parent-child communication, parenting participation, and happiness were selected as independent variables. The collected data were subjected to descriptive statistics, reliability analysis, and correlation analysis using SPSS 24.0, and mediating effects were verified through AMOS 24.0 program. Results First, it was found that father's self-elasticity and parenting participation had a significant effect on parenting efficacy, but parent-child communication did not have a significant effect on parenting efficacy. Second, it was found that father's self-elasticity and parent-child communication had a significant effect on happiness, but parenting participation did not have a significant effect on happiness. Third, happiness had a partial mediating effect in the effect of father's self-elasticity and parenting participation on parenting efficacy, and happiness had a complete mediating effect in the effect of parent-child communication on parenting efficacy. Conclusions Through the results of this study, the importance of the father's individual internal variables and happiness in the father's parenting efficacy and the necessity of its intervention were presented.
