Abstract

ABSTRACT Historically, there has been a significant overlap between religion, family, and work. The aim of this study was to employ qualitative analysis techniques to explore the narratives of women’s identities within these three domains. The present study included eight semi-structured interviews to understand the work, family, and church experiences of white, cis-gender women who worked in higher education and affiliated with a Christian denomination. A phenomenological approach was utilized, and open coding generated the overarching themes and subthemes. The results of the present study support the difficulty of balancing multiple and sometimes contradictory roles, expectations, values, and beliefs that women face. The intersection between religion, work, family, and psychological processes is evident in the narratives of these participants. Practical implications are explored relating to the gendered roles and dissonance women experience and the theological importance of developing responsible biblical lenses for interpretation that incorporate feminist realities.

探索矛盾的角色：对教会、家庭和工作环境中女性的定性考察

摘要从历史上看，宗教、家庭和工作之间存在着显著的重叠。本研究的目的是采用定性分析技术来探索这三个领域中的女性身份叙事。本研究包括八次半结构化访谈，以了解在高等教育中工作并隶属于基督教教派的白人顺性别女性的工作、家庭和教会经历。采用了现象学方法，开放编码产生了总体主题和子主题。本研究的结果支持了平衡女性面临的多重甚至有时相互矛盾的角色、期望、价值观和信仰的困难。宗教、工作、家庭和心理过程之间的交叉在这些参与者的叙述中显而易见。探讨了与性别角色和女性经历的不和谐有关的实际含义，以及为融入女权主义现实的解释开发负责任的圣经镜头的神学重要性。
