配偶親職角色的支持與分工對夫妻恩情的影響

Effects of Coparenting Support and Division-of-labor on Marital Enqing in Chinese Couples

本研究以台灣北部地區309對育有學齡前幼兒的夫妻為對象，探討夫妻在親職角色的支持與分工行為，及其對華人夫妻情感的影響。研究結果顯示，夫妻在親職角色上的支持並沒有太大的不同，但是，先生明顯的比太太參與較少的育兒工作。相關分析的結果發現，太太的家庭價值觀與其親職支持與分工行為均有顯著的關聯；對先生而言，這樣的關聯並不存在，反而是對家事分工的公平觀點與他們的親職行為有顯著的關聯。就影響夫妻情感的因素來看，本研究發現，配偶的親職角色支持、配偶的親職角色分工、家庭價值、家事分工的公平觀四項最能預測夫妻恩情的因素，其中，配偶的「同心支持」具有最強的預測力與解釋力，顯示在華人婚姻中，配偶的「同心支持」要比「協力分工」更能增加夫妻之間的恩情。不過，就太太的樣本而言，家庭價值的影響力要大過配偶親職分工的影響力，性別的效應也進一步討論。

A questionnaire study was conducted to 309 couples with preschool children living in northern Taiwan. Results indicated that husbands involved in fewer child-care tasks than wives did. Correlation analyses revealed that significant relationship existed between family value and child-care task involvement among wives, while significant correlation was found between fairness value and coparenting behaviors among husbands. Regression analyses further indicated that child-care task involvements, coparenting support, family value, and fairness value were four factors that significantly predicted marital Enqing. Among them, coparenting supports showed the highest predicting power. In the wife sample, the predicting power of family value on Enqing was larger than that of child-care task involvement. Gender issue was further discussed.
