Abstract

Relational power supremacy is determined by culture, which impacts women’s and men’s capacity to make decisions in the family and community. As a part of strong patriarchal culture, Balinese men’s involvement in parenthood deals with their self-concept and identity. Although there has been a growing literature discussing fatherhood in many cultural settings, a limited study focusing on how men in strong patriarchal culture transmit their full-time fatherhood has been conducted. Besides, the emergency shifting of learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic conveys more hitches to shelter. The present study examined whether and how Balinese fathers’ parenting styles may influence attachment style and their children’s remote learning activities. By using attachment theory, a qualitative approach of analysis was carried out using a narrative inquiry. A father with children who are having remote learning activities was recruited as the participant of this study. Unstructured interviews were used for data collection and recorded using a voice recorder only. The recording was then transcribed and analyzed using collaborative thematic narrative analysis. The results indicate that fathers’ parenting style, their perception about the fatherhoods, their coping strategies, and responses from the society were related to the attachment style and children’s remote learning activities during the COVID-19 pandemic.
