The current study examined the cross-sectional relationship between resilience and father involvement in the preschool period. The study aimed to explore the interaction between the resilience of children aged 60–72 months (n = 530) in Türkiye and their fathers’ involvement, as well as the significance of resilience and father involvement based on certain demographic variables, and the predictive power of these variables on psychological resilience based on father involvement, is a quantitative study using a screening model. It was found that resilience levels did not differ by gender, but father involvement showed a significant difference in favor of boys. A significant difference was found in favor of the groups with fewer siblings in the resilience, arbitrary occupation, attention and closeness dimensions, and in favor of the groups with siblings in the primary care dimension. It was determined that resilience and the dimensions of attention and closeness did not differ according to maternal employment status, while the dimensions of arbitrary occupation and primary care showed significant differences in favor of the working mother group. Differences were identified in resilience and paternal involvement according to income level. A moderate positive correlation was found between resilience and the dimensions of arbitrary occupation, attention, and closeness, while a low positive correlation was found between resilience and the primary care dimension. Fathers’ involvement significantly predicted children’s resilience and explained 16% of the variance. The study found that only gender significantly predicted resilience through father involvement, while other variables were not significant.
