三人愛情行不行？大學生對於「第三者」的態度及其影響因素
Say "Yes" to Multi-Lover Relationships? College Students' Attitudes Toward the "Third Party" and Its Factors
摘要
本研究以愛情關係中的「第三者」為焦點，探討臺灣年輕世代對於「三人愛情」的態度。根據「去傳統化」的觀點，本研究假設愛情價值觀和風險因素影響個人對於「第三者」角色的認可程度，並檢視性別之間的差異。本文的分析資料取自東吳大學社會學系的「新世代研究」計畫於2016年執行的「愛情與婚姻」主題調查，有效樣本數為1,200。本研究有三個主要發現：（一）大學生對於「第三者」角色的認可程度偏低；（二）「去傳統化」的愛情價值觀有助於提升大學生對於「第三者」角色的認可程度；（三）風險因素對於「第三者」的看法有負面的影響，但主要發生於女性群體。這些研究結果顯示臺灣年輕世代認同的愛情模式仍是一對一的單一伴侶制，對於「第三者」共同存在的「三人愛情」的接受程度低。但從大學生的愛情價值觀部分已出現「匯流愛」的跡象來看，現代社會的愛情關係可能不斷朝開放而且多元的方向發展。最後，我們針對本研究在理論、方法及實務方面的應用與限制提出討論與建議。

This study explored young people's attitudes toward multi-lover relationships in Taiwan, focusing on the "third party" in romantic relationships. It examined how detraditionalized love values and risk factors influence personal attitudes toward the role of a third party in this context. The study hypothesized that (1) identification with "confluent love" would be positively associated with recognizing the role of a third party, (2) risk factors would be negatively associated with this recognition, and (3) risk factors would have a stronger effect on women. Data for 1,200 students from Taipei College were obtained through the New Generation Survey Research (2016) and analyzed using a hierarchical regression analysis. The findings revealed that college students rejected the legitimacy of multi-lover relationships, likely because of traditional Taiwanese cultural values and the associated risks. While values like Giddens's confluent love promote the acceptance of third parties, most students evaluated the potential risks of such relationships based on their personal circumstances. Women were less likely than men to recognize third-party roles and were more influenced by the risk factors. Risk perception played a significant role in shaping students' attitudes toward love. However, some limitations in measurement and reasoning should be considered when interpreting the results.
