Abstract: While the population of Stay-At-Home Fathers (SAHFs) has progressively grown over the years, studies reveal that these fathers struggle with stigma, maternal duties, conventional fatherhood expectations, and social isolation. To provide proper assistance to these parents, this quantitative study evaluated the correlation between need and role satisfaction among Stay-At-Home Fathers. The researchers’ self-made questionnaires were administered to 100 Filipino Stay-At-Home Fathers around the Philippines through purposive sampling. Obtained data were analyzed using Pearson r and regression analysis. Results indicate that Stay-At-Home Fathers have high levels of need and role satisfaction. Stay-At-Home Fathers’ role and need satisfaction were found to have a strong positive correlation (r = .805, n = 100, p = .0001). Moreover, findings show that the sociodemographic factors of age, monthly household income, marital status, and educational attainment are statistically insignificant predictors of Stay-At-Home Fathers’ role and need satisfaction. More research should be conducted about the assistance of families transitioning to alternative parenting roles.
