The Current Status, Influencing Factors, and Ways to Improve Father’s Involvement | Chapter 2 | Recent Research Advances in Arts and Social Studies Vol. 4

Background: Father’s involvement plays an important role in children's growth and development. Since the 1980s, many researchers have conducted theoretical exploration and empirical research on father’s involvement.

Method and Content: This article adopts a method of literature search, first correcting the long-standing concept of neglecting the role of father’s involvement, and then focusing on the current situation and influencing factors. Based on this, measures to promote father’s involvement are proposed.

Conclusion: Through reviewing previous research, we found that father’s involvement in China is currently at a moderate level, which is the result of a comprehensive effect of social and cultural factors, father's personal characteristics, and family factors. We need to find ways to enhance father’s involvement from these three aspects.
