Abstract
RODRIGUEZ, Rebeca; PEREZ, Gilberto and SALGUERO, Alejandra. Fatherhood desire in men. Av. Psicol. Latinoam. [online]. 2010, vol.28, n.1, pp.84-96. ISSN 1794-4724.
Generally when trying to account for the desire to have a child, this topic is associated most frequently with women. This has resulted in a notorious lack of research on mens desire of being parents. The objective of this study was to analyze mens talk on their desire of being parents. A qualitative research was carried out through in-depth interviews with six participants of three Mexican middle-class fathers, who participated in a program of school for parents. Results showed that mens desire of fatherhood can be conceived as a construction process, in which different social discourses are involved (models of fatherhood from their own families; books about parenthood; etc.), which play the role of cultural resources supporting such a construction.
Keywords : desire; fatherhood; social discourses.
