The situation has caused some change in traditional distribution of sex role. More and more studies about women have been done. What about the other family member, Father of teenagers? Both Father and Mother should become mature and be responsible for nurturing children. The most part of this research is to understand in Taipei City how Fatherhood is carried out while children go to junior high school and to find out factors that effect married male attitude and fulfillment of fatherhood. The purposes of this research are as follows: 1.Nowadays what married men’s attitude is and how they fulfill fatherfood while their children go to junior high school. 2.Explore differences of married male attitude and fulfillment of fatherhood by factors of person and family. 3.Analyze correlations between married male attitude and fulfillment of fatherhood. 4.Find out factors that influence married male attitudes and fulfillment of fatherhood. The study picks the ecological systems theory that Bronfenbrenner brought forth in 1979 for theoretical bases. Fatherhood in this study connotes four dimensions: solicitude and escort, capability development, breadwinner and demonstration, daily attention. Personal variables and family variables were considered to find out factors that act on married male attitudes and fulfillment of fatherhood. Personal variables are age, level of education, earning, and sex role attitude. Family variables are children characters（children number, children sex, children grade）, matrimonially satisfaction degree, family economic type （family earning type, family socio-economic status）, spouse employment characters（sample work hours, wife work hours, and spouse employment type）. The study was carried out by questionnaires: ‘The attitudes and fulfillment of Fatherhood scale’, ‘The attitudes towards sex role scale’, ‘Personal basic data’, ‘The matrimonially satisfaction scale’. These retrieved questionnaires were handled with SPSS 10.0 for Windows for descriptive statistics, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), Pearson product-moment correlation analysis, regression and so on. Finding of the study are as following: 1.Married male inclines to make much of fatherhood, but fatherhood fulfillment can be promoted still. 2.Matrimonially satisfaction, and children grade mean something to married male attitudes towards fatherhood. 3.Attitudes towards fatherhood, matrimonially satisfaction, and family socio-economic status mean something to fatherhood. 4.Married male thinks highly of, and fulfillment of breadwinner and demonstration is highest.
