Abstract

This study aims to explore the experiences of female-breadwinning couples (FBCs) in Pakistan. Using the constructivist grounded theory approach, a sample of twenty participants (10 male and 10 females) was interviewed. The study findings show that FBCs experience social stigmatisation, social isolation and differential treatment. These couples are viewed as abnormal, different and violators of the normative gendered expectations. FBCs not only experience societal backlash, but their relationship dynamics are also negatively affected. To deal with societal responses and relationship problems, these couples adopt various normalisation strategies such as exercising discretion, relocation and performing gender identities. This study contributes to the literature by providing a culturally informed perspective on how deeply embedded gender norms shape interpersonal dynamics, normalisation strategies and overall experiences with non-normative roles. The study also suggests for a more explicit consideration of cultural and normative contexts to enrich the application of social psychological theories.

扮演非规范角色:巴基斯坦女性面包师夫妇的经历
本研究旨在探讨巴基斯坦女性养家糊口夫妇(FBCs)的经历。采用建构主义基础理论方法,对 20 名参与者(10 名男性和 10 名女性)进行了抽样访谈。研究结果表明,女性包养夫妇经历了社会鄙视、社会孤立和区别对待。这些夫妇被视为不正常的、与众不同的、违反规范性别期望的人。家庭作伴者不仅受到社会的反弹,他们的关系动态也受到负面影响。为了应对社会反应和关系问题,这些夫妇采取了各种正常化策略,如行使自由裁量权、搬迁和表演性别身份。本研究从文化角度探讨了根深蒂固的性别规范是如何影响人际动态、正常化策略以及非正常角色的整体体验的,从而为相关文献做出了贡献。本研究还建议更明确地考虑文化和规范背景,以丰富社会心理学理论的应用。
