Abstract

This study has been conducted to examine the relationship levels of fathers who have 6-12 month-old babies with their fathers, and their attachment status with their babies. The sample group of our study consisted of 313 fathers who have 6-12 months old babies and living in Ankara. Fatherhood Scale and Father-Infant Attachment Scale have been applied to the fathers who participated in our study, respectively. Our research is a quantitative research study with a relational screening design that tests the relationship between two or more variables. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and t-test have been carried out in order to examine whether or not the scores obtained from the scales differed significantly according to the variables. Bonferroni test has been applied in Post-Hoc tests to those with significant results in ANOVA. The PEARSON correlation analysis has been performed to determine the relationship between the sub-dimensions of the Fatherhood Scale and the sub-dimensions of the Father-Baby Attachment Scale. It has been determined that there is a negative relationship between Patience Tolerance and Love Pride, which are sub-dimensions of Father-Infant Attachment. In line with the results obtained, suggestions were made to families and educators. The research findings were discussed and interpreted in line with the literature and suggestions were made.
