国外“父亲在位”理论研究新进展及启示

The New Development of the Studies of "Father Presence" Theory Abroad and Its Inspiration

"父亲在位"研究正在成为父子关系研究中一个崭新的领域。从孩子的视角出发,把父亲在位定义为孩子的心理父亲在位。父亲在位由四个维度组成:孩子内心的父亲感知;孩子与父亲的关系;孩子父亲在位的其他影响;与父亲相关的文化和宗教信念对父亲在位的影响。父亲在位理论模型由孩子心理父亲在位各维度的同心圆组成。高品质的父亲在位是一种积极的心理状态,有利于孩子的心理发展。父亲在位理论对当前家庭教育和父子关系研究都有一定启示,父亲在位的进一步研究需要更多的理论思考和实证研究。
