The main purpose of this research is to explore the relationship between male officers and their children. The life course perspective is employed to analyze the impact of military culture, social changes and generational effects on the interaction between male officers and their children. It is argued that the father-child relationship is shaped by these factors.
This study uses deep interview to collect 9 family data. Father is interviewed alone. Mother and children are interviewed together in order to get more information from children. Thus, we have 18 interview drafts. The findings of this research are the following:
First, the educational attitude of male officers is different from their previous generation. With the specification of their work and social change, they choose to play a partner-like role that differs from the traditional image of father in the family.
Second, the dual role of military wife should not be ignored. Apart from their mother’s role, they play father’s role as well because of father’s military appointment. Then, mothers take the main responsibility of childcare and child education, and male officers are intended to be assistants in families.
Third, due to their long absence, male officers emphasize good quality of family life and father-child relationship rather than the quantity of those.
Fourth, because of male officers’ frequent absence, they have more capacious attitude to their children than their wives.
Key words: father-child relationship, male officers, the life course perspective,
child education
