Objectives: This purpose of this study was to make clear the fitness to data of the causality model related to father"s child-rearing participation in a double-income household.
Methods: Subjects of this survey consisted of the fathers of 2,006 households that use 21 day-care centers and 4 kindergartens whose cooperation was received via the city government departments that have jurisdiction over day-care centers and kindergartens in cities A and B in prefecture I and in city C in prefecture II (city A: 499 households; city B: 1,113 households; city C: 988 households). The surveyed items consisted of the father"s age, the father"s educational history, the number of children, the age of the youngest child, the father"s parental-role awareness, the father"s daily working hours, the father"s return-home time, and child-rearing participation by the father.
Results: The fit indices were found to be CFI = 0.912, GFI = 0.948, and RMSEA = 0.082. Regarding the path coefficients, the path coefficient of the pathway from the age of the youngest child to the father"s parent positivity (0.08) and the path coefficient of the pathway from the father"s parent positivity to child-rearing participation (0.19) were both at statistically significant levels. Also, the father"s return-home time and the working hours, which were considered as disincentives exhibited a direct effect on child-rearing participation without being influenced by the father"s parent positivity or parent negativity. The path coefficient of the pathway from return-home time to child-rearing participation was -0.43, and the path coefficient of the pathway from working hours to child-rearing participation was -0.13. The value of the path coefficient expressing the relationship between the return-home time and working hours was 0.80.
Conclusion: Authors infered that it"ll be the basic material to build a generation mechanism about vanity and father"s child-rearing participation appropriately as a result of this research.
