Abstract

Tema ovog diplomskog rada je očevo razumijevanje (ne)specifičnosti roditeljske uloge očeva unutar obitelji. U teorijskom dijelu rada nudim razne definicije očeva. Također se raspravlja o rodnim i roditeljskim ulogama muškaraca/očeva i žena/majki kroz leće esencijalizma i egalitarizma. Nudim pregled čimbenika koji mogu utjecati na očevo oblikovanje roditeljske uloge te spominjem pozitivne učinke uključenosti očeva za djecu i obitelj. Naposljetku pružam kratki pregled već provedenih istraživanja s očevima. U empirijskom dijelu rada predstavljam problem istraživanja te opisujem intervju u hodu kao metodu istraživanja. Za analizu podataka koristim tematsku analizu. Cilj istraživanja bio je ispitati kako očevi razumiju (ne)specifičnost roditeljske uloge očeva u odnosu na roditeljske uloge majki unutar konteksta u kojemu žive te koje društvene faktore i utjecaje prepoznaju u takvom oblikovanju roditeljskih uloga. U intervjuu je sudjelovalo 7 očeva koji imaju djecu mlađu od 11 godina. Rezultati pokazuju da očevi prepoznaju određene specifičnosti u svojoj roditeljskoj ulozi u odnosu na uloge majke no roditeljstvo promatraju kao zajedničku aktivnost i očeva i majki. Iako očevi u istraživanju smatraju da društvo ne može, odnosno ne bi trebalo, utjecati na pojedinca kao roditelja, prepoznaje se društveno umanjivanje uloge očeva u odnosu na uloge majki. No također primjećuju da očevi danas imaju više mogućnosti da se uključe u odgoj djece nego prije.

Abstract (english)

The topic of this thesis is the father's understanding of the (un)specificity of the father's parental role within the family. In the theoretical part of the paper, I offer various definitions of fathers. Gender and parental roles of men/fathers and women/mothers are also discussed through the lenses of essentialism and egalitarianism. I offer an overview of the factors that can influence the formation of the father's parental role and mention the positive effects of fathers' involvement for children and the family. Finally, I provide a brief overview of research already conducted with fathers. In the empirical part of the paper, I present the research problem and describe the walking interview as a research method. For data analysis, I use thematic analysis. The aim of the research was to examine how fathers understand the (un)specificity of the parental role of fathers in relation to the parental roles of mothers within the context in which they live and what social factors and influences they recognize in such shaping of parental roles. 7 fathers who have children under the age of 11 took part in the interview. The results show that fathers recognize certain specificities in their parental role in relation to the roles of mothers, but they see parenting as a joint activity of both fathers and mothers. Although the fathers in the research believe that society cannot, or rather should not, influence an individual as a parent, it is recognized that society diminishes the role of fathers in relation to the role of mothers. But they also note that fathers today have more opportunities to get involved in raising children than before.
