Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between fathers and their children at preschool level from low socioeconomic status according to some variables. The population of the study included the fathers of preschoolers attending to child care centers in Afyonkarahisar, all of which were affiliated to Ministry of National Education. However, 245 fathers whose children were attending to one of the child care centers in Afyonkarahisar during the 2012-2013 academic year, were included in the study group. As a data collection instrument, “Children – Parent Relationship Scale” was used. While analyzing the data, as a result of Kolmogorov-Smirnov (K-S) normality test, Mann Whitney U Test for comparing two groups and Kruskal Wallis H Test for the comparison of more than two groups were used. The findings showed that the child’s gender and number of children in the family affected father-child relationship whereas birth order and father’s level of education did not.
