论文摘要
在西方文化中，在线寻找日期或配偶通常被认为是个人主义的努力。这给集体主义的非西方文化（例如沙特阿拉伯）带来了挑战，在沙特阿拉伯那里，选择配偶被视为两个有两个配偶父母的家庭组成的结合。我们的工作旨在调查沙特阿拉伯父母如何看待其年轻人在网上寻求潜在配偶的技术利用。我们报告了与16位沙特阿拉伯父母（8名父亲，6位母亲和1对夫妇）进行的访谈结果。我们产生定性主题，提供有关父母希望如何保留其价值，将技术融入传统过程并保护其年轻人免受潜在危害的见解。这些主题对在沙特阿拉伯设计合适的婚姻对接技术以及未来工作的机会产生了影响。
Finding a date or a spouse online is usually considered an individualistic endeavor in Western cultures. This presents a challenge for collectivist non-Western cultures such as Saudi Arabia where choosing a spouse is viewed as a union of two families with parents of both spouses being heavily involved. Our work aims to investigate how Saudi Arabian parents view the utilization of technology by their young adults to seek potential spouses online. We report our findings of interviews conducted with 16 Saudi Arabian parents (8 fathers, 6 mothers and 1 couple). We generate qualitative themes that provide insights about how parents wanted to preserve their values, integrate technology into the traditional process and protect their young adults from potential harms. These themes lead to implications for designing suitable marital matchmaking technologies in Saudi Arabia and opportunities for future work.
