This study examined the mediating role of coparenting in the association between differences/similarities in paternal and maternal socioeconomic status (SES) and paternal involvement in Chinese families. The sample included 244 couples with children aged 3-7 years. Fathers and mothers reported their individual incomes, educational levels, occupations, and coparenting behavior (measured using the Coparenting Scale), and fathers completed the Father Involvement Questionnaire. Structural equation modeling was performed to examine the associations between SES and paternal involvement. Results suggested that SES indicator measures were outcome specific. Occupational differences/similarities were associated with paternal involvement indirectly, via fathers' family integrity practices. Income and educational differences/similarities did not affect paternal involvement. The results suggested that the traditional Chinese view that "men are chiefly responsible for activity in society, while women are responsible for the home" has faded.
本研究考察了共同养育在父母社会经济地位(SES)差异/相似性与中国家庭中父亲参与度之间的关联中所起的中介作用。样本包括244对有3至7岁孩子的夫妻。父亲和母亲报告了他们各自的收入、教育水平、职业以及共同养育行为(使用共同养育量表进行测量),父亲完成了父亲参与度问卷。进行了结构方程模型分析以检验SES与父亲参与度之间的关联。结果表明,SES指标测量具有结果特异性。职业差异/相似性通过父亲的家庭完整性实践间接与父亲参与度相关。收入和教育差异/相似性并未影响父亲参与度。结果表明,“男主外,女主内”这种传统的中国观念已逐渐淡化。
