本研究は、育児期の父が、どのように" 父らしく" なるのか、父自身の内面(意識)と行動から明らかにすることを目的に、3 歳6 か月児をもつ夫婦11 組のうち父を対象に、父自身が" 父らしくなったと感じたところ" についてインタビューした。 その結果、「母とのやり方の違い」、「仕事か育児か優先順位への迷い」、「父の家事・育児に対する考え」、「母に対してとる配慮」、「父自身で抑制」「父としての家族への責任」、「父としての子どもとの関わり」、「子どもの直接的反応への感情」、「子どもがいることで経験する慈しみ」の9つのサブカテゴリ、『父の中で葛藤する』『バランスをとる』『父として役割を遂行する』『父として実感する』の4つのカテゴリ、【父が折り合いをつける】と【父として自覚する】という2つの中心的概念が抽出された。そしてこれら2 つの中心的概念は、父の内面(意識)と行動から父が父らしくなる一因であることの示唆を得た。We examined how fathers involved in child care became like a father from their awareness and behavior as fathers. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 11 couples of parents who had a 3.5 year old infant supposed to receive a routine medical examination and completed a questionnaire when the infant was 3 and a half years old.Fathers were asked when they actually felt they had become like fathers. Analysis identified 9 subcategories related to changes of awareness and behavior as fathers: Difference in child care between father and mother; Dilemma between work and childcare; Image of a father doing housework and child care; Thoughtfulness to mother; Self-restraint; Responsibility to family; Relationship with the child; Feelings about reactions from the child; and Affection experienced by having a child. The subcategories were classified into 4 categories: Inner conflict; Keeping psychic equilibrium; Playing a fatherly role; and Having a real sense of fatherhood, and the two central concepts: coming to compromise and awareness were identified. And these two central concepts got the suggestion of being the cause that father came to seem to be father from the inside (consciousness) and an action of father.
