Abstract

Using the qualitative method of portraiture, we focused on three mothers who are female heads of household in a deprived urban neighborhood in Iran with the aim of understanding how poor female heads of household experience well-being and the obstacles and challenges associated with it. We analyzed the interview data by identifying emergent themes to reveal convergence, contrast, and similarities among the participants. Based on our findings, we conclude that the participants’ various economic, social, cultural, and psychological resources provide the context for the realization or nonrealization of achievements such as increasing life satisfaction, reducing the overload of the role, and increasing children's satisfaction. In this context, the well-being of the participants is constructed. Despite their similar positions, each participant defined and experienced the pursuit of well-being differently. They used different strategies and had different levels of internal and external resources to achieve well-being.
真实性,社会文化约束和幸福:伊朗三个单身母亲的肖像
我们使用肖像的定性方法,重点关注伊朗贫困城市社区的三位女性户主母亲,目的是了解贫困女性户主如何体验幸福以及与之相关的障碍和挑战。我们通过识别突发主题来分析访谈数据,以揭示参与者之间的趋同、对比和相似之处。基于我们的研究结果,我们得出结论,参与者的各种经济、社会、文化和心理资源为实现或未实现的成就提供了背景,例如提高生活满意度,减少角色过载,提高儿童满意度。在这种背景下,参与者的福祉被构建。尽管他们的立场相似,但每个参与者对追求幸福的定义和体验都不同。他们使用不同的策略,拥有不同水平的内部和外部资源来实现幸福。
