父母共親職互動歷程的面貌

Patterns of Coparenting Processes

本研究關注焦點在於國小學童、雙收入家庭的父母共親職互動歷程的面貌。本研究以五對父母作為研究參與者，以深度訪談方式蒐集父母共親職互動歷程的資料。根據訪談內容之分析結果，父母共親職互動歷程的模式可歸納為二種面貌，第一種面貌為「一方主政，配偶配合歷程模式」，這個面貌中又可分為「母主政，父配合歷程模式」與「父主政，母配合歷程模式」。「母主政，父配合歷程模式」，即「父母協調溝通，而後，母守門，父配合改變」模式；「父主政，母配合歷程模式」，即「父母協調溝通，而後，父守門，母順應配合」模式；第二種面貌為「各自為政歷程模式」，即「父母教養衝突，而後各自為政，互不干涉」模式。在這些模式中，本研究有一些有意義的發現，包括父母支持共親職可能反映父母之間具有共識，或是父母尋求表面一致的二種意涵。另外，沉默的共親職行動，表面上是一種對配偶教養的支持，但沉默者和孩子之間可能形成同盟關係。最後，親職參與時間、教養決策權、個人面對衝突形式和孩子的考量可能影響著父母共親職行動與歷程。

The present study explores the patterns of dynamic processes of parental coparenting. Five pairs of parents who were dual-earners and who had children in elementary school participated in the present study. Based on content analyses of depth interview of participants, the results showed 2 patterns of dynamic processes of parental coparenting: One parent dominates and the other goes along, and each parents in his or her own way. Within the dominator pattern there were 2 subtypes: Mother dominates and father dominates. Among these patterns, there were several interesting discoveries in the present study. First of all, supportive coparenting might have two different meanings: Parental support reflected interparental agreement regarding parenting goal and practices, and parents who performed their support only tried to maintain surface consistence. Secondly, keeping silence might look like the action of supportive coparenting, however, the parent who kept silence and the child might form the relationship of alignment. Finally, factors such as the amount of time of parental involvement, the power of childrearing decision-making, individual pattern of facing conflict, and consideration about the child might contribute to the patterns of dynamic processes of parental coparenting.
