Are Caring Men “Masculine”? Empirical Analysis of the Plurality of Caring Masculinities
近年の国際的ジェンダー平等政策では,男性のケア関与に焦点を当て,理想的な男性のあり方としてのケアリング・マスキュリニティ(CM)をキーワードとして用いている.しかし,男性のケア行為参加がジェンダー平等を促進する効果は限定的との先行研究もあり,そもそもCMを構成する諸要素間の関係性に関する十分なエビデンスは得られていない.そこで本研究は,7歳未満の子どもを持つ父親を対象とした調査データを用い,CMの構成要素に関する諸変数で階層別クラスター分析を実施した.その結果,男性たちが,単にCMの程度が高いか低いかの二極モデルでは捉えきれない形で多様化していることが明らかにされた.すなわち,「ケア行為」の頻度が高い男性たちの間でさらに,「ジェンダー観」が非伝統的で「生活の質」も高い「非伝統的男性性」と,「ケアの態度」の程度は高いが「ジェンダー観」は伝統的で「生活の質」が低い「葛藤的男性性」への分化が確認された

Danshi mondai no jidai: Sakusō suru gender to kyōiku no politics (Period of Boys’ Problems?: Complicated Politics of Gender and Education)
In 2003, the United Nations organized the Expert Group Meeting in Brazil on the theme of the role of men and boys in achieving gender equality. Though this meeting focused on how men and boys can contribute to gender equality, it certainly raised awareness concerning the problematic issues surrounding men and boys. In particular, we became much more aware that hegemonic ideologies of unequal power such as patriarchy suppress not only women but al…
Family Violence in Japan: A Life Course Perspective
Work Environment and Japanese Fathers' Involvement in Child Care
Previous studies mainly examined individual and family factors affecting Japanese fathers' involvement in child care. Along with these factors, we examine how work-related factors such as father-friendly environment at work, workplace's accommodation of parental needs, job stress, and autonomy are associated with Japanese men's participation in child care. Using 2010 data collected from Japanese fathers with preschool children ( N = 1,317), a the…
Economic Hardship and Adaptation Among Asian American Families
Asian American families are often portrayed as affluent, having achieved a high level of education and occupational prestige. Despite this model-minority image, many Asian Americans suffer from economic hardship. Using a sample of 95 Asian Americans, this study examines the effect of perceived economic hardship on coping behavior, family relations, family roles, and psychological well-being among members of this understudied minority population. …
In Appreciation
Japanese Fathers of Preschoolers and Their Involvement in Child Care
We examine how relative resources, time availability, gender ideology, living arrangement, child-care demand, and job satisfaction are associated with the levels of younger Japanese fathers' involvement in child care for preschoolers. A theoretical model that includes these factors is tested using 1994 data collected from Japanese fathers and mothers with preschool children (N = 442 couples). We find that practical considerations such as fathers'…
Conjugal Roles and Social Networks in Japanese Families
In a study on family and social networks, Elizabeth Bott argued that conjugal role performance is primarily a function of the configuration of friends and relatives associated with each spouse. For over three decades, this relationship has been repeatedly tested with unresolved findings due, in part, to different research techniques and the ambiguity in Bott's theory itself. To cast light on this intriguing issue, we transported Bott's ideas to J…
Children's Affection Toward Fathers: A Comparison between Japan and the United States
Previous studies on fatherhood have focused primarily on the extent of paternal involvement from fathers' point of view and the impact of such involvement on children. These studies report that the level of paternal involvement varies depending on such factors as the fathers' ages, and the mothers' employment hours and income, and that the active participation by fathers has a positive impact on children's emotional and cognitive development. The…

Work and Family Life: Findings From International Research and Suggestions for Future Study
Studies focusing on interface between work and family life have increased over the past decade. Many of these studies advanced our understanding on the intricate work/family relationships that exist in the United States. This year, 1994, is the United Nation's International Year of the Family. In observance of this special year, this article discusses dominant perspectives on work and family in the United States and suggests the ways to refine ou…
Paternal Involvement and Perception Toward Fathers' Roles: A Comparison Between Japan and the United States
Using a representative sample of Japanese and American fathers and their adolescent children, this cross-national study examines the extent of paternal involvement and fathers' and children's perception toward their relationships. Consistent with the media image of involved fathers, we found that American fathers spend more time with their children than their Japanese counterparts. However, although American children's perception toward their fat…
Wider Families: New Traditional Family Forms
Men's Housework: A Life Course Perspective
Using a representative sample of married couples with children in the United States, this study explored how the timing of the transition to parenthood is associated with later divisions of domestic labor. Three common explanations for gendersegregated divisions of household labor-ideology, relative resources, and time availabilitywere tested for earlyand delayed-birth couples with a covariance structure model (LISREL). Time availability and wife…
Predicting the Sharing of Household Labor: Are Parenting and Housework Distinct
Using a representative sample of married couples with preschool-aged children in the United States, this study analyzes the conditions under which husbands share household tasks conventionally performed by wives. Survey data are analyzed using LISREL VII procedures, with proportional hourly contributions to child care (feeding, bathing, dressing, or putting child to bed) and housework (housecleaning, shopping, cooking, meal cleanup or laundry) tr…
Remarriage, Stepparenting, and Household Labor
Using data from a nationally representative sample, this research investigated husbands' contributions to household labor in four types of families: first-married couples with biological children, remarried couples with biological children only, remarried couples with stepchildren only, and remarried couples with biological and stepchildren. Absolute and relative contributions to total household labor did not differ significantly across family ty…

A Cross-Species Application of Bott's Hypothesis on Role Segregation and Social Networks
Elizabeth Bott's hypothesis that the degree of role-segregation between husbands and wives is a function of the density in family networks is applied to a review of social relations among representative species from seven genera of Old World primates. On the whole, the hypothesis is supported. In seeking to apply Bott's ideas to primate research, her theory is formalized and stated more abstractly, with the result that its structural dynamics are…
The Subjective Well-Being of Parents
Using a national sample of Americans, this study compares the effects of marital and parental statuses on three domains of well-being (marital quality, parental satisfaction, and global life satisfaction) by examining three types of parents: first-married biological parents, remarried biological parents, and stepparents. The results of a multiple classification analysis show that first-married biological parents report greater satisfaction with p…
Formal Activities for Elderly Women: Determinants of Participation in Voluntary and Senior Center Activities
In this study, theoretical views previously used to explain health service utilization by the elderly are extended to explain how predisposing (age, race, education, and marital status), enabling (income, employment status, health status, and transportation), and need (loneliness and livin arrangement) factors influence elderly women's participation in vof :u ntary organizations and senior centers. Hypotheses are tested using a nationwide probabi…

Social Interaction, Loneliness, and Emotional Well-Being among the Elderly
This study examines the effects of interaction with different types of role partners on the emotional well-being (morale) of older persons, and the extent to which these effects are mediated by subjective feelings of social integration (loneliness). Hypotheses regarding the differential effects of friendship and kinship on these emotional states are developed and tested on a sample of 2872 respondents aged 55 and over. Consistent with the hypothe…

Status of the Elderly: An Extension of the Theory
Previous cross-cultural analyses have established that the status of the elderly, as a category, is affected by several economic and familial factors. This study builds on earlier work by adding two variables to the analysis: socialization values and ancestor worship. The results show that the status of the elderly is systematically higher in societies in which conformity is a primary socialization value than in those where self-reliance is empha…
