“家庭时间”体现在建立和巩固家庭关系的过程中。尽管许多家庭用可自由支配的收入购买了这样的时间，没有强制性的工作、学校和家庭维持活动，但我们探索了低收入母亲如何在贫穷和依赖福利的特殊时间限制内，为专注的参与和与孩子的关系发展腾出时间并赋予其意义。对61名低收入的非洲裔美国人、欧洲裔美国人和拉美裔美国人母亲的纵向人种学数据进行了分析，以了解母亲们如何在日常活动中构建家庭时间，如聊天、玩耍和吃饭。我们还确定了影响低收入家庭家庭时间的独特文化因素，如时间取向的变化、电视时间的中心地位以及贫困造成的情感负担。对家庭治疗的意义也进行了讨论。
"Family time" is reflected in the process of building and fortifying family relationships. Whereas such time, free of obligatory work, school, and family maintenance activities, is purchased by many families using discretionary income, we explore how low-income mothers make time for and give meaning to focused engagement and relationship development with their children within time constraints idiosyncratic to being poor and relying on welfare. Longitudinal ethnographic data from 61 low-income African American, European American, and Latina American mothers were analyzed to understand how mothers construct family time during daily activities such as talking, play, and meals. We also identify unique cultural factors that shape family time for low-income families, such as changing temporal orientations, centrality of television time, and emotional burdens due to poverty. Implications for family therapy are also discussed.
