Analysis of Factors Influencing Parenting Behavior Types for Fathers with preschool children : Belsky’s Parenting Model

Objective: This study aims to explore the factors influencing different types of paternal parenting behaviors among fathers with preschool-aged children. Methods: Statistical analyses were conducted using SPSS 29.0. Descriptive statistics, skewness, and kurtosis were examined to understand the demographic characteristics of the study subjects. Correlation analysis was performed prior to identifying factors influencing parenting behavior types. Multinomial logistic regression analysis was used to explore the factors influencing each type of parenting behavior. Results: Fathers' openness and informational support positively influenced ideal parenting behavior. Risk factors for neglectful parenting behavior included the number of children, marital conflict, and work-father role conflict. Contradictory parenting behavior was influenced by fathers' extroversion and children's emotionality. Conclusions: This study deepens the understanding of paternal parenting by identifying factors influencing different types of parenting behaviors in the Korean sociocultural context. Based on these findings, the study suggests the need for tailored support measures for each parenting type, such as providing parenting-related information, supporting marital conflict resolution and work-family balance, and enhancing understanding of child temperament. The results of this study can serve as important foundational data for developing paternal parenting support policies and programs.
