摘要

本研究目的是要瞭解育有學齡期子女已婚者衝突議題與婚姻關係之關聯，主要是探討衝突議題發生頻率、嚴重程度與解決困難度與婚姻滿意度及婚姻穩定度之關係，再檢視衝突議題壓力與婚姻滿意度及婚姻穩定度之關係，並進而瞭解何種衝突議題對於育有學齡期子女已婚者的婚姻滿意度及婚姻穩定度影響最大。本研究對象來自於大臺北地區，有效樣本數一共501位，男性251位，女性250位。結果顯示，育有學齡期子女之已婚者知覺「孩子」衝突的頻率最高，較為嚴重的衝突議題為「孩子」和「金錢」，較難解決的議題是「金錢」和「婚外情」衝突議題和「金錢」衝突議題所帶來的壓力較大。而相較於其他衝突議題，男性知覺發生「家庭生活安排」、「配偶特質」、「婚外情」衝突的頻率對於男性的婚姻滿意度影響最大，且男性知覺發生「婚外情」衝突的頻率對於男性的婚姻穩定度影響最大。女性知覺發生「配偶特質」、「金錢」、「婚外情」衝突的頻率對於女性的婚姻滿意度影響最大，且女性知覺發生「婚外情」衝突的頻率對於女性的婚姻穩定度影響最大。再者，男性知覺「與配偶父母或家人相處」衝突議題所帶來的壓力對於男性的婚姻滿意度影響最大，女性知覺「婚外情」衝突議題所帶來的壓力對於女性的婚姻滿意度影響最大。男女性皆知覺「婚外情」衝突議題所帶來的壓力對於男女性的婚姻穩定度影響最大。

This research is aimed at finding out how conflicting issues affect marital relationship with focus on married people bearing school-age children and how male and female respond to conflicts respectively. Conflicts are examined in four ways: their frequency, how serious they are, if they are easy to be solved, and their pressure. These four aspects are then cross-examined to determine which factors affect marital satisfaction and stability the most. The number of effective samples from Taipei area is 501, including 251 males, and 250 females. The findings are as follows. In terms of frequency, arguments involving children and husband-wife interaction have the highest and the second highest occurring rates, respectively. In terms of seriousness, both men and women regard children and monetary issues as their grave concerns. Monetary issues and extramarital affairs pose challenges to couples as these two problems are hard to handle while most pressure comes from monetary issues.Take a closer look at the aspect of frequency in conflict analysis. Males feel the conflicts pertaining to family activity arrangements, characteristics of spouse, and extramarital affairs have the greatest influences on the level of marital satisfaction and extramarital affairs affect the stability the most. Factors containing the characteristics of spouse, monetary issues, and extramarital affairs influence wives more in terms of marital satisfaction, and extramarital affairs bring the severest damage to the stability in females' views. With regard to the aspect of pressure, males perceive conflicts caused by dealing with the family members and friends of their spouses affect marital satisfaction, while females' extramarital affairs. Both males and females agree extramarital affairs exert the most damaging power on the marital stability.
