Beschreibung:
This study uses Mead’s theory of the social self to illustrate the formation of the mixed gender-role attitudes held by chinese immigrant couples in Ireland. While the sampled chinese developed a more liberal ‘i’ from acculturation to gender egalitarianism in ireland and the emerging feminist culture in China, the ‘Me’ remained firmly family-oriented. The females experienced few changes in their social interactions with significant others and reference groups who continued to impose confucian gender expectations on them. A flexible synthesis of ‘generalised others’ from the two cultural contexts was observed. On the one hand, the participants valued women’s autonomous choices in enacting gender roles; On the other hand, those choices were expected to be in line with the family’s interests. We name the pattern of their attitudes confucian egalitarianism, a combination of beliefs in gender egalitarianism, critical essentialism and strategic familism based on confucian family values.
