The culture of fatherhood is constantly changing, and the role of fathers in raising children has become a relevant social topic. With the development of society, there has been a change in how fathers and parental role are seen, whereby the traditional role of fathers has been replaced by modern fatherhood. Attitudes about fatherhood and the performance of the paternal role are influenced by various factors that determine the level of involvement of fathers in raising children. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the relationship between fathers' socioeconomic characteristics, attitudes about fatherhood and fathers' involvement in raising preschool children. The target population was fathers of preschool children in the Republic of Croatia, and 172 fathers participated in the research. The results showed that there is a positive connection between education and fathers' involvement in raising children, and between attitudes about fatherhood and fathers' involvement in activities spent with children. No connection was established between the amount of material income and fathers' involvement in raising children, as well as differences in involvement in raising children due to fathers' work status.
