The present study was designed to explore the mediating role of spousal support in the effect of paternal role perception on father involvement. The correlational research design was adopted in the study. The research sample was made up of 659 fathers with 3 to 6-year-old children enrolled in a preschool program. The data was collected using the “Demographic Information Form”, “Paternal Role Perception Scale”, “The Spouse Support Scale”, and “Father Involvement Scale”. The mediator impact analysis was employed to assess the mediating role of spousal support. The effect of the mediating variable was evaluated with PROCESS, and the Sobel test and bootstrap confidence interval were used to measure the significance of the resulting effect quantity. The results showed that paternal role perception and spousal support significantly predicted paternal involvement. Also, paternal role perception significantly predicted spousal support and spousal support had a mediating role in the relationship between paternal role perception and father involvement.

本研究旨在探讨配偶支持在父亲角色感知对父亲参与的影响中的中介作用。本研究采用关联研究设计。研究样本由 659 名父亲组成，他们有 3 至 6 岁的孩子参加了学前班课程。使用“人口统计信息表”、“父亲角色感知量表”、“配偶支持量表”和“父亲参与量表”收集数据。采用中介影响分析来评估配偶支持的中介作用。使用 PROCESS 评估中介变量的影响，并使用 Sobel 检验和 bootstrap 置信区间来衡量结果影响量的显着性。结果表明，父亲角色感知和配偶支持显着预测父亲参与。此外，父亲角色感知显着预测配偶支持，配偶支持在父亲角色感知与父亲参与之间的关系中起中介作用。
