Abstract

This article contributes to new scholarship on family change as bricolage and institutional layering. Focusing on the classic topic of parental values and aspirations for their children, we used a retrospective qualitative longitudinal analysis to trace the evolution of four overlapping cultural configurations across the 20th century: (1) standing back and not interfering, (2) cultivating achievement, (3) encouraging positive relationships, and (4) promoting happiness and self-fulfilment. We show that there was a directional change in the emphases and inflections placed on these configurations, and in the moral ambivalence that parents displayed as they reconciled them in their narratives. Meanings centred on autonomy and cultivation were layered onto relatedness across changing social contexts. Engaging with recent debates on the value of qualitative interviews, our analysis demonstrates how qualitative longitudinal research can provide rigorous analysis of long-term cultural change.

父母价值观和对子女期望的转变:文化形态变化的回溯性定性纵向分析
这篇文章对家庭变迁作为拼贴和制度分层的新研究做出了贡献。以父母的价值观和对孩子的期望这一经典话题为中心,我们采用回顾性定性纵向分析的方法,追溯了四种重叠的文化形态在20世纪的演变:(1)退后不干涉,(2)培养成就,(3)鼓励积极的关系,(4)促进幸福和自我实现。我们表明,在这些配置的重点和转折上有一个方向性的变化,在父母在他们的叙述中调和他们时表现出的道德矛盾心理中。在不断变化的社会背景下,以自主和培养为中心的意义被分层到相关性上。结合最近关于定性访谈价值的争论,我们的分析证明了定性纵向研究如何能够为长期文化变迁提供严格的分析。

期刊介绍: Sociological Research Online has been published quarterly online since March 1996. Articles published in the journal are peer-reviewed by a distinguished Editorial Board and qualify for inclusion in the UK Research Assessment Exercise. Sociological Research Online was established under the Electronic Libraries Programme (eLib). When funding ceased in September 1998, Sociological Research Online introduced institutional subscriptions in order to be able to continue publishing high quality sociology. The journal is still available without charge to individuals accessing it from non-institutional networks.
