本研究從研究者的自身經驗為探討的出發點,欲了解子女面對父、母親再婚前後,彼此的親子關係有何改變,以及如何變化;此外,子女又是如何看待在親子關係中的自己,則是本研究另一項探討主題。 本研究目的是希望從子女的觀點及角度出發,重新檢視其生命經驗,創造他們願意再次理解與再婚父/母親關係圖像的機會,並協助社會工作者、心理師、輔導老師等相關領域的專業人員,未來在接觸這群類型的子女時,能從其生命脈絡去理解此類似經驗,找尋最適合的處遇之道。 本研究採取敘說研究方法,除了呈現三位受訪者的故事之外,亦加入研究者自身的生命經驗,並選擇「整體-內容」分析法為文本分析結構;最後則是回到子女看待家庭的意義與圖像、子女在生命轉折中成長的亮點、研究貢獻、限制、建議、結語與研究後記等。
This study aimed to investigate what would become of the existing parent-child relationship and how the change occurred when children confront the separate new marriages of their divorced parents. Also, it attempted to explore how children view themselves in such relationships. The researcher hoped to, by conducting this study, help children with separately remarried parents to reexamine their own life experience from their viewpoints and then create opportunities for them to willingly re-develop their child-parent relationships. In addition, the researcher intended to provide a life-tracking approach to counseling such children for social workers, counseling psychologists, student counselors in school, or any other professionals in relevant fields. This study employed narrative inquiry to present the three interviewees’ stories and used holistic-content analysis for data analysis and interpretation. The participants were eventually guided to re-scrutinize their conception of “family” and further to work out ways to re-establish child-parent relationships. Based on the study results, the conclusion, study limitations, and suggestions for future research were provided.
