| 其他摘要 | Father-child relationship is an intimate relationship between father and child, which is reflected in cognition, emotion and behaviors shown in the father-child interaction. It is found that father-child relationship has a unique effect on children's development. It is of great theoretical and practical significance to figure out the influence factors of the father-child relationship and its mechanism. However, most of the existing studies focus on the behavioral influence factors of the father-child relationship, while few studies combine the behavioral, affective and cognitive influence factors of the parent-child relationship to investigate its influence mechanism. A model integrating the distal, proximal, qualitative and quantitative influence factors of the father-child relationship can better explain the formation of the father-child relationship from the perspective of intergenerational transmission and father's own current factors, and also help to provide guidance for the intervention to promote father-child relationship.This study included two parts. Study 1: the quantitative research explored the influence mechanism of father’s family-of-origin paternal parenting on his own father-child relationship, and investigated the serial mediating effect of his role perceptions and family-of-origin paternal parenting on father-child relationship and the moderating effect of his depression level. 572 fathers with children under the age of 12 participated the quantitative research, and a total of 563 valid questionnaires were collected through the way of anonymous online testing. In this study, we compared the differences in father-child relationships, paternal role perceptions and paternal involvement in different characteristic groups, and we tested the mediating and moderating effects. Study 2: the exploratory qualitative research attempted to explore role perceptions of fathers with children under the age of 12 in contemporary Urban China through qualitative analysis. Seven fathers aged 34-41 were selected to investigate the sources and influence factors of their paternal role perceptions. The results of Study 1 showed that ① in terms of father-child relationship, there was no significant difference in the scores of father-child intimacy among different groups, and there was statistical significance in the scores of father-child conflict scores among fathers with different work hours per week, of paternal role perceptions among fathers with children of different ages and different education levels, and of father involvement among fathers with different education levels; ② father-child intimacy was significantly positively correlated with his family-of-origin paternal care, paternal role perceptions, all dimensions of paternal involvement, and negatively correlated with his depression levels; father-child conflict was significantly positively correlated with his family-of-origin paternal indifference, his depression levels, and negatively correlated with his role perceptions and all dimensions of involvement;③ the relationship between father’s family-of-origin paternal care and father-child intimacy was significantly completely mediated by father’s role perceptions and his involvement; in this model, the relationship between father’s family-of-origin paternal care and his role perceptions was moderated by his depression levels; the relationship between father’s family-of-origin paternal indifference and father-child conflict was mediated by his role perceptions, but not by his involvement; father’s role perceptions had a significant positive effect on the prediction of father involvement; in this model, the relationship between father’s family-of-origin paternal indifference and his role perceptions was moderated by his depression levels. Study 2: qualitative analysis showed that friends, mentors, models and comforters were the most important father roles in the eyes of respondents, and there was no difference in the types of roles assumed by respondents; the main difference lied in the specific function of the role, the attitudes of fulfilling the role and the transformation with social roles; the process of inheritance and compensation of the influence of father’s original family reflects the decisive influence of father’s role perceptions on paternal parenting; meanwhile, father’s role perceptions may develop and change as the child and himself develops.Father’s family-of-origin paternal parenting influences his own father-child relationship through the serial mediating effect of his role perceptions and involvement, among which the path between his family-of-origin paternal parenting and his role perceptions is moderated by his depression levels. Compared to fathers with higher depression levels, lower depression levels one’s family-of-origin paternal parenting predicts his role perceptions better. In the path of intergenerational transmission of paternal parenting of the original family, father’s role perceptions play decisive influences on both father involvement and father-child relationship, which has been proved in the qualitative research part. Thus, in order to give full play to the positive effect of the positive parenting of fathers’ original family and to block the negative effect of the negative parenting of fathers’ original family, we should pay attention to the key role of fathers’ role perceptions and their mental health. |
