| Title | Same or Different: the parenting experience of women and men in contemporary Slovakia |
| Summary | The aim of this research is to explore the meaning and experience of parenthood among 20 middle-class urban parents with children under three in Slovakia. In particular, it focuses on the comparison between mothers and fathers regarding their involvement in the childrearing and family, their construction of the parental role, their expectations from parenthood, their decisions about having a child and their experience of personal change induced by parenthood. This paper draws on the research by Martha McMahon (1995) and it applies two methods: the interviewing method and the method of symbolic interactionism. |
