Supporting data for “Parents’ Unsociable Work Schedules and Children’s Well-Being: A Mixed Methods Study of Dual-Earner Households in Mainland China”

This dataset contains interview data for a phenomenological study as part of the doctoral thesis “Parents’ Unsociable Work Schedules and Children’s Well-Being: A Mixed Methods Study of Dual-Earner Households in Mainland China.” The study aims to explore the lived experiences of children living in Chinese dual-earner households where parents are exposed to unsociable work schedules, defined as work scheduling practices that are not conducive to direct ad stable parental involvement, such as long work hours, night shifts, weekend work, inflexible scheduling, and on-call duties. Fifteen children from dual-earner households in mainland China were recruited to participate in semi-structured interviews. The interviews were conducted remotely via WeChat video calls in December 2023, with all participants joining from their homes. Each interview lasted between 35 and 60 minutes and was conducted in Mandarin Chinese. The sessions were audio-recorded and subsequently transcribed verbatim. To ensure the privacy and confidentiality of participants, all data were anonymized, removing any identifying information about the individuals included in the dataset. The data files comprise fifteen verbatim transcripts of the interview data.本数据集包含一项现象学研究的访谈数据，该研究为博士学位论文《父母非社交性工作排班与儿童福祉：中国内地双职工家庭混合方法研究》的组成部分。本研究旨在探究中国内地双职工家庭中，父母从事非社交性工作排班的儿童的生活体验；其中非社交性工作排班指不利于父母直接且稳定参与子女照料的排班模式，例如超长工时、夜班、周末加班、弹性不足的排班制度以及待命值守任务。本研究共招募15名来自中国内地双职工家庭的儿童参与半结构化访谈。访谈于2023年12月通过微信视频通话远程开展，所有参与者均在家中参与访谈，每次访谈时长介于35至60分钟之间，以普通话进行。访谈过程均进行音频录制，并随后完成逐字转录。为保障参与者的隐私与机密性，所有数据均已完成匿名化处理，移除了数据集中所有可识别个人身份的信息。本数据集包含15份访谈数据的逐字转录文本。
