Abstract

This study examined the mediating effects of marital relationships (marital satisfaction, marital conflict) and the moderating effects of mother`s self-perception (self-efficacy, self-esteem) on the relationship between a father`s involvement in parental roles and postpartum depression. The participants consisted of 1,863 mothers with infants from the Panel Study of Korean Children. The findings from this study are as follows. First, there were significant correlations between a father`s involvement in the parental role, marital satisfaction, marital conflict, self-efficacy, self-esteem and postpartum depression. Second, the relationship between a father`s involvement in the parental role and postpartum depression was significantly mediated by both marital satisfaction and marital conflict. Finally, both self-efficacy and self-esteem were seen to moderate the relationship between a father`s involvement in the parental role and postpartum depression.
