With reference to Lamb’s model of father involvement, the present study aimed to examine the relationship between father involvement and children’s temperament. A relational survey model was used in this research. A total of 325 fathers, who had a child in the preschool period, were included in the study. As data collecting tools, the Demographic Information Form, Father Involvement Scale, and Short Temperament Scale for Children were utilized. According to research results, there is a significantly positive relationship between the arbitrary occupation sub-dimension of father involvement and the persistence temperament trait. In another result, there was found to be a significant negative relationship between the arbitrary occupation sub-dimension of father involvement and the reactivity temperament trait. The results revealed also that the reactivity and persistence sub-dimensions of temperament had predictive effects on the father involvement attention and closeness sub-dimension.
