Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui secara spesifik apakah terdapat hubungan antara keterlibatan ayah dan social problem solving pada remaja. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif yang menggunakan kuesioner sebagai instrumen penelitian. Nurturant Fathering Scale (NFS) dan Father Involvement Scale digunakan untuk mengukur keterlibatan ayah, sementara social problem solving diukur menggunakan Social Problem Solving Inventory-Revised (SPSI-R). Responden yang terlibat berjumlah 165 remaja berusia 13 hingga 21 tahun di wilayah Jabodetabek (Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, dan Bekasi). Dari tiga dimensi keterlibatan ayah yang ada (Finley & Schwartz, 2004), hasil penelitian ini mengungkap bahwa hanya dimensi reported father involvement yang berkorelasi secara signifikan dengan social problem solving (r = 0,178, p < 0,05, one tailed).
