The purpose of this study was to investigate not only the participating in housework but also the parents' attitude and child's preference, in relation to children's health and housework participation in Taiwan. We collected data from the Young Children's Housework Participation Questionnaire on "Google forms". A total of 755 parents with preschool children living in Keelung City, Taipei City, and New Taipei City participated through the snowball method. The results showed that children's health not only directly affected their housework performance but also indirectly influenced their housework participation through the serial multiple mediation of parents' attitude and the child's housework preference. Therefore, this study confirms that, when analyzing the factors of children's housework participation, it is necessary to have a clearer understanding of the relationship between variables to further construct a more complete model framework that affects children's housework participation. Additionally, it is very important for parenting education to improve parents' attitude towards the importance of children's housework and encourage children's preference for housework.
本研究旨在探讨参与家务劳动的情况,以及父母的态度和孩子的喜好与台湾地区儿童健康和家务劳动参与之间的关系。我们通过“Google 表单”收集了来自《幼儿家务参与问卷》的数据。共有 755 名来自基隆市、台北市和新北市的学龄前儿童家长通过雪球法参与了调查。结果表明,儿童健康不仅直接影响其家务表现,还通过父母态度和孩子家务喜好的序列多重中介间接影响其家务参与。因此,本研究证实,在分析儿童家务参与的因素时,需要更清楚地了解变量之间的关系,以进一步构建更完整的影响儿童家务参与的模型框架。此外,对于育儿教育来说,提高父母对儿童家务重要性的态度以及鼓励孩子对家务的喜好非常重要。
