| Popis: | application/pdf 紀要論文 少子化を背景に夫婦の出産行動に関する量的研究は多く存在するが，質的研究はほとんど存在しない．そこで本稿では，第１子を妊娠中，あるいは既に子\ どものいる20，30代の７組の夫婦へのインタビュー調査から，夫婦による子ども数の選好がいかに具体化し，いかに変化したのかを検討した．\ その結果，子ども数の選好は夫婦のきょうだい数や知人の子どもの数によって具体化し，出産によって生じる経済的，精神的，時間的制約のため，その選好が戦略的に変化することが明らかとなった．自身のきょうだい関係への肯定的評価は「自分の子どもにもきょうだいをもたせたい」とする意識に結びついていた．\ また出産によって生じる制約にはジェンダー差があり，それにより子ども数の選好の変化に関して，家族戦略と個人戦略の２つが存在していることがわかった． The purpose of this study is to examine how marital couples’ preferences for the number\ of children that they would like to have are shaped, and how these preferences change.\ While there are numerous quantitative studies on reproductive behavior, little qualitative\ research has been conducted on this subject. In this study, interviews were conducted on\ seven married couples in their twenties and thirties.\ Findings indicate that the number of siblings that the couple has and the number of\ children that their friends have, have shaped their preferences regarding the number of\ children they would want to have; couples change these preferences while attempting\ to manage physiological strain and a shortage of resources associated with child birth.\ Because of different amounts of strain and the varying resource needed based on gender\ role differences between husbands and wives, two types of strategies exist: for families and for individuals. However, it is revealed that a high evaluation of siblinghood maintains the desire for subsequent birth. |
