This study was conducted to explore Korean mothers' experiences of the development of parent-adolescent relationships.
The participants were 18 Korean parents of adolescents. Data were collected through in-depth interviews. The main question was, "Could you tell me about your experiences of developing a relationship with your adolescent child?" The data were analyzed using Strauss and Corbin's grounded theory methodology.
The central phenomena of the experiences of parent-adolescent relationships among Korean mothers were "trying to reduce my expectations, but not being able to" and "having no idea where to go". The major action/interaction strategies were "putting aside my desires and adapting to my child's needs" and "waiting and seeing at a distance". The consequences included "appreciating myself and my child at the same time".
These findings indicate that mothers tried to adapt to their children's needs and to keep their children at a distance. Their efforts were influenced by advice from friends and family members. The findings of this study emphasize specific aspects of how Korean mothers experienced the process of developing respectful relationships with their children.
本研究旨在探索韩国母亲在亲子关系发展过程中的经历。
研究对象为18位韩国青少年的家长。通过深度访谈收集数据。主要问题是:“您能跟我讲讲您与青春期孩子建立关系的经历吗?” 采用施特劳斯和科尔宾的扎根理论方法对数据进行分析。
韩国母亲在亲子关系经历中的核心现象是 “试图降低期望,但做不到” 和 “不知道该何去何从”。主要的行动/互动策略是 “抛开自己的欲望,适应孩子的需求” 和 “保持距离观望”。结果包括 “同时欣赏自己和孩子”。
这些发现表明,母亲们试图适应孩子的需求,并与孩子保持距离。她们的努力受到朋友和家人建议的影响。本研究结果强调了韩国母亲在与孩子建立尊重关系过程中的具体经历。
