这项研究建立在巴克莱(1993)的工作基础上，他研究了怀孕期间的夫妇，发现怀孕期间男性和女性的性兴趣水平之间存在不匹配。此外，人们对男性在伴侣怀孕期间的社会和情感经历知之甚少。一个由六名男子组成的产前小组参加了一系列五次会议和随后的个别面谈，这些男子的伴侣都在怀孕中期。研究人员和研究助理参加了其他有男性和女性出席的产前课程，获得了更多的数据和见解。研究数据包括录音访谈、小组讨论、观察和研究人员和联合领导者在每次小组会议后所做的笔记。其目的是系统地发展一种实质性的扎根理论，该理论是从男子在其生活的这一过渡时期的经历中得出的。本文讨论了导致中心现象的分析过程，中心现象是研究的核心范畴，扎根理论是围绕中心现象建立的。从收集的数据中得出了五个理论结构：(A)怀孕早期的矛盾心理，(B)与婴儿的关系不真实，(C)作为父亲我应该如何？，(D)应对角色和生活方式的变化，以及(E)与女性伴侣关系的不平衡。最后一种结构作为基本的社会过程出现了。这种关系的性质在怀孕期间发生了变化。男性的情绪波动和焦虑导致了男性和女性对这段关系的期望“不匹配”。研究结果表明，目前的产前课程不能满足男性伴侣的需求。似乎，如果男性和女性在怀孕早期就被告知，矛盾、焦虑和紧张情绪增加是怀孕期间的常见经历，那么他们就可以继续研究如何有效地应对这些变化。
This research builds on the work of Barclay (1993) who studied couples during pregnancy and discovered that there was a mismatch between sexual interest levels of men and women during pregnancy. As well, little is known about the social and emotional experiences of men during their partners' pregnancies. One antenatal group consisting of six men, whose partners were in the second trimester of pregnancy, attended a series of five meetings and subsequent individual interviews. Additional data and insights were gained by the researcher and the research assistant attending other antenatal classes with men and women present. The research data consisted of transcripts of tape-recorded interviews, group discussions, observations and held notes made by the researcher and co-leader following each of the group sessions. The aim was systematically to develop a substantive grounded theory which was drawn from the experiences of the men during this transitional period in their lives. This paper discusses the process of analysis which led to the central phenomenon, the core category of the research, around which the grounded theory is built. Five theoretical constructs emerged from the data collected: (a) ambivalence in the early stages of pregnancy, (b) relationship with baby not real, (c) how should I be as a father?, (d) coping with the changing roles and lifestyle, and (e) disequilibrium in relationship with female partner. The last construct emerged as the basic social process. The nature of this relationship changed over the duration of the pregnancy. Emotional turmoil and anxiety in men contributed to the 'mismatch' in male and female expectations of the relationship. The findings of the research suggested that current antenatal classes did not meet the needs of the male partner. It appears that if men and women were informed early in the pregnancy that ambivalence, anxiety and increased tension were common experiences during pregnancy then they could get on with the business of working out how they might effectively deal with these changes.
