Some studies have indicated that people's provincial backgrounds are closely associated with their party identification, Taiwanese/Chinese identification and the position on the cross-strait relations. Others have suggested that inter-provincial-marriage would render a compromising effect on the identity and issue position of the family members. Based on these studies, this paper explores the different impacts on identity and issue position resulted from different patterns of inter-provincial-marriage. An update survey conducted by the TEDS is used to analyze these impacts of provincial origins and inter-provincial-marriage. The preliminary findings have pointed out the compromising effects continues to exist at present time. Namely, people with background of inter-provincial-marriage tend to choose a mid-way position, such as dual identity and maintaining the status quo, as contrast to those people with the background of intra-provincial-marriage. Also, generational differences also matter as young generation also tends to maintain a centralist mentality in identity and cross-strait issues.
