| dc.description.abstract | Most studies in the past have focused on Hakka women, and the parenting attitudes of Hakka fathers have often been neglected. The traditional Hakka culture perceives the role of fathers as ancestor worship, filial piety, obedience, frugality, and succession. With the change of generations, the role of fathers in raising children has been gradually emphasized. Some foreign studies have shown that outstanding children have a good father behind them. In the previous generation, the role of fathers was only to earn money to support the family, and the role of raising children was left to mothers. In the new generation, the way and role of fathers in raising their children has changed. How do Hakka fathers bring the spirit of Hakka tradition and identification with the Hakka community to shape the role of a father? Fathers are involved in their children′s development through the different stages of their children′s growth. Fathers need to follow the developmental stages of their children and give them different parenting styles in order to achieve a good parent-child relationship.
This study mainly explores whether Hakka fathers still retain the culture of the Hakka group in the similarities and differences between generations in their parenting attitudes. The study was based on the research of parenting attitudes in the literature and the interviews were conducted with the 35-to 65-year-old Hakka fathers. It was conducted by means of actual interviews. What are the generational differences and similarities between Hakka fathers in terms of behavioral norms, expectations, parent-child management, and interactions in raising their children? What are the interrelationships and integration of beliefs, attitudes, and values lie behind these behavioral traits? There are also many similarities and differences in the intergenerational of the concept fathering styles between generations, such as disciplinary styles, disciplinary attitudes, or parenting attitudes. This study synthesizes these theories and concludes that the emotional ambience of fathers′ parenting, children′s attachment, crisis management of dilemmas, cultural and ethnic differences can be explored in depth. What are the factors of changes? What traditional cultures are preserved? These are all issues that the graduate student would like to explore in depth. | en_US |
