父母如何向不同的观众谈论育儿?:刻板印象与受众效应:基于主题模型的r/Daddit、r/Mommit和r/Parenting分析

How Do Mothers and Fathers Talk About Parenting to Different Audiences?: Stereotypes and Audience Effects: An Analysis of r/Daddit, r/Mommit, and r/Parenting Using Topic Modelling

Melody Sepahpour-Fard, Michael Quayle

摘要:

虽然在公共生活中实现性别平等方面取得了重大进展,但在家庭领域,特别是在养育子女方面,仍然存在严重的不平等。本研究分析了Reddit上关于育儿的讨论,以探讨受众效应和性别刻板印象。这为研究个体在与不同受众互动时的语言主题变异提供了一种新的方法。2020年发布的评论来自三个育儿子Reddit,分别为父亲(r/Daddit)、母亲(r/Mommit)和所有父母(r/Parenting)。在r/Parenting和r/Daddit或r/Parenting和r/Mommit上发帖的用户被假定分别标识为父亲或母亲,允许性别比较。使用LDA主题建模,将用户对r/Parenting(针对混合性别受众)的评论与他们对r/Daddit或r/Mommit的单性别受众的评论进行了比较。结果显示,父母讨论最多的话题是关于教育和家庭建议,这个话题主要在混合性别子Reddit上讨论,父亲比母亲更多。关于儿童的基本需求(睡眠、食物和医疗),母亲似乎更关心,无论观众是谁。相比之下,在以父亲为中心的Reddit子站中,父亲们更多地讨论出生和怀孕通知以及外表等话题。总的来说,调查结果似乎表明,母亲一般更关心育儿的实际方面,而父亲表达的关切则更有背景:与其他父亲一起,在与母亲讨论教育问题时,似乎希望表现出父亲的身份并得到承认。这些结果表明,父母在Reddit上表达的担忧是对上下文敏感的,但也符合性别陈规定型观念,可能反映了育儿中持续存在的性别和不平等分工。

英文摘要:

While major strides have been made towards gender equality in public life, serious inequality remains in the domestic sphere, especially around parenting. The present study analyses discussions about parenting on Reddit to explore audience effects and gender stereotypes. It suggests a novel method to study topical variation in individuals' language when interacting with different audiences. Comments posted in 2020 were collected from three parenting subreddits, described as being for fathers (r/Daddit), mothers (r/Mommit), and all parents (r/Parenting). Users posting on r/Parenting and r/Daddit or on r/Parenting and r/Mommit were assumed to identify as fathers or mothers, respectively, allowing gender comparison. Users' comments on r/Parenting (to a mixed-gender audience) were compared with their comments to single-gender audiences on r/Daddit or r/Mommit using LDA topic modelling. Results showed that the most discussed topic among parents is about education and family advice, a topic mainly discussed in the mixed-gender subreddit and more by fathers than mothers. Regarding the basic needs of children (sleep, food, and medical care), mothers seemed to be more concerned regardless of the audience. In contrast, topics such as birth and pregnancy announcements and physical appearance were more discussed by fathers in the father-centric subreddit. Overall, findings seem to show that mothers are generally more concerned about the practical sides of parenting while fathers' expressed concerns are more contextual: with other fathers, there seems to be a desire to show their fatherhood and be recognized for it while they discuss education with mothers. These results demonstrate that concerns expressed by parents on Reddit are context-sensitive but also consistent with gender stereotypes, potentially reflecting a persistent gendered and unequal division of labour in parenting.
