摘要:The preliminary Korean Paternal Involvement Scale of 84 items was constructed from items collected from free-response surveys with 106 middle school students and 33 fathers followed by consultation with experts. Those items were tested on a sample of 339 middle school students. The 82 items selected through item analysis were analyzed by factor analysis. Of these,54 items were categorized into seven factors : leisure-life,proffering information,discipline,academic support,tradition-inheritance,material support,and everyday life. Leisure-life,proffering information,and academic support correlated with grade level of adolescents and fathers` education. The alpha coefficients of this scale ranged from .68 to .90..
