The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of paternal psychological stress, parentingstress and parenting behavior on the problem behaviors of preschool children. This research suggests the need to emphasize the importance of fathers' parenting behaviors in parental education and counselling and to seek ways to encourage fathers who have a high level of parenting stress due to psychological stress to engage in education and counselling programs to relieve their stress. It also suggests that children's educational institutions should work toward reducing the level of children's problem behaviors through a parent education program. the subjects of this study were 380 fathers of children aged 3 to 5. Data were collected by one-line survey from mothers and fathers separately and analyzed by frequency, percentage, factor nalysis, Cronbach's α, t-test, F-test with Scheffe test, and Pearson's correlation coefficient using the SPSS 18.0 program. The test of the model was done with an analysis of the correlation matrix in the AMOS 18.0 program using a path analysis. Also, “bootstrapping methods” were used to confirm the statistical of indirect effect. The results of this study were as follows: First, fathers' psychological stress was directly affected by their children's internalizing problem behaviors. However, the children's externalizing problem behaviors and peer relationship problems were not directly affected by the fathers' psychological stress. Second, the fathers' parenting stress had a mediating effect on the influence of the fathers' psychological stress to affect parenting behaviors; the higher the level of coercive parenting behaviors and the lower the level of supportive parenting behaviors. Third, the fathers' parenting behaviors had different effects on the dimensions of the children's problem behaviors such as internalizing, externalizing, and peer relationships. Fourth, the fathers' parenting behaviors had a mediating effect on the influence of the fathers' psychological and parenting stress to affect the children's problem behaviors.
