Abstract

<p>This study examined the degree of explanation of husbands’ support for their wives on the former’s subjective well-being via paternal involvement in childcare focusing on three preschool age groups (first child at ages 1, 3, and 5). Six hundred fathers were surveyed via the Internet, and the measurement invariance of each scale for the three groups was examined. A simultaneous multipopulation analysis of the three groups showed significant paths from “support for the wife” to “discipline” and “housework” but no significant paths from “discipline” and “housework” to “subjective well-being.” In addition, fathers of three-year-old children showed stronger paths from “support for the wife” to “psychological care” and “psychological care” to “subjective well-being” than those of the other two groups. Paternal involvement in child-rearing changed with the child’s development. In addition, the fathers’ subjective sense of well-being increased with psychological care for the child at around age three.</p>
