Abstract
This study aims to examine the attractiveness of father to his late-adolescent daughter. In the study Ia, the structure of the attractive father was investigated by means of the factor analysis, and three different factors were found. Each factor was considered to be associated respectively as follows; F1: humanistic attractiveness, F2: attractiveness as a male, and F3: affiliation between father and mother. In the study Ib, the contents of the father-daughter contact in everyday life was investigated and other three factors were found: F1-father who talks on the society, F2-father who acts as a parent, and F3-father's openness as a male. In the study II, later elements which heightened the attractiveness of father were examined. As a result, the most important element for heightening the attractiveness of father was revealed to be the good relationship between father and mother. The second element was revealed the high degree of attractiveness as a male. The third element was the high degree of everyday contact between father and daughter. It was also predicted that for the father-daughter relation, mother was taking a significant role as a indirect medium.
