Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk melihat hubungan antara Keterlibatan Ayah dan Kompetensi Sosial pada remaja madya (15-17 tahun). Pengukuran keterlibatan ayah dilakukan menggunakan Nurturant Fathering Scale (NFS) dan Father Involvement Scale (FIS) (Finley & Schwartz, 2004), sedangkan kompetensi sosial menggunakan Interpersonal Competence Questionnaire (ICQ, Buhrmester, 2002). Sampel dalam penelitian ini berjumlah 121 orang dengan karakteristik berasal dari keluarga utuh dan status sosial-ekonomi menengah ke atas. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan tidak terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara keterlibatan ayah dan kompetensi sosial (r = 0,143, p>0,05; r = 0,109, p>0,05; r = -0,07, p>0,05; r = 0,03, p>0,05). Namun keterlibatan ayah ditemukan berhubungan secara signifikan dengan salah satu dimensi dari kompetensi sosial, yaitu kemampuan membangun hubungan baru. Berdasarkan domain keterlibatan, domain afektif memiliki nilai korelasi yang paling besar dengan kompetensi sosial (r = 0,143).

This research was conducted to examine the relationship between father involvement and social competence in middle adolescence (15-17 years old). Researcher used Nurturant Fathering Scale (NFS) and Father Involvement Scale developed by Finley and Schwartz (2004) to measure father involvement. Whereas social competence was measured by Interpersonal Competence Questionnaire-Revised developed by Buhrmester (2002). The participants of this research are 121 high school students from intact families and middle to high social class (SES). The results showed no significant relationship between father involvement and social competence (r = 0,143, p>0,05; r = 0,109, p>0,05; r = -0,07, p>0,05; r = 0,03, p>0,05). However, father involvement was found to have a significant correlation with one dimension of social competence, that is initiating relationship. Based on domain of father involvement, affective domain has the biggest coefficient of correlation with social competence (r=0,143).
