Özet:

The purpose of this phenomenological study is to understand 50-72 months of age children‘s perceptions of father involvement and compare their perceptions of father involvement with those of their fathers‘ and mothers‘. Sample of the study constitutes forty children between the ages of 50 and 72 months of age and seventeen mothers and seventeen fathers. Semi structrued interviews were conducted with all participants, seperatedly. Results indicated that children‘s perceptions of father involvement are shaped around fathers‘ observable and countable behaviors. It was found that majority of children perceive their fathers as moderately involved. Also, majority of children perceived their fathers‘ involvement less than the other family members‘ involvement. Children‘s perceptions are similar to those of their mothers. Among families which were grouped according to the level of how fathers‘ are perceived by their children, there are some key differences regarding family demographics, fathers‘ gender role attitudes, fathers‘ involvement to child care, mothers‘ satisfaction from their husbands‘ involvement and the consistency between father and mother reports.
