台灣成年早期未婚者多重親密關係態度之分析

「單一伴侶之外的多重親密關係」的現象越來越浮上檯面，但目前以「單一伴侶制」（monogamy）為主的社會下，多重親密關係常被冠上負面的評價。因此，本研究欲以身體親密及情感親密兩個向度，探討在不同背景變項上（性別、性傾向、交往經驗及關係認同），各族群對於多重親密關係的開放態度。其中有關身體親密及情感親密的兩個向度會再細分為「對自己伴侶（發展）多重身體親密關係之接受度」、「對自己伴侶（發展）多重情感親密關係之接受度」、「對他人伴侶（發展）多重身體親密關係之接受度」、「對他人伴侶（發展）多重情感親密關係之接受度」四個層次。本研究之研究參與者為919位18至35歲未婚成年人，研究工具為自編之多重親密關係態度量表，進行兩次預試並據結果進行修訂，於PTT網路平台進行施測。研究結果以單因子多變量分析後發現：一、男性在「對自己伴侶（發展）多重身體親密關係之接受度」、「對自己伴侶（發展）多重情感親密關係之接受度」、「對他人伴侶（發展）多重身體親密關係之接受度」、「對他人伴侶（發展）多重情感親密關係之接受度」皆顯著高於女性。二、同性戀者在四個層次的開放度皆顯著高於異性戀者。三、無交往經驗者比有交往經驗者更能接受伴侶對自己之外的人關懷、關注、講心事等情感親密行為。四、在關係認同上，非單一伴侶制者比起單一伴侶制者在四個層次上有較高的開放度。本研究為多重親密關係態度之初探性研究，從研究結果推演未來研究方向，以及相關的限制及建議，期待後續相關研究可進一步拓展國人對多重親密關係的了解。

The unconventional intimate/sex arrangements such as non-monogamous relationships (NMR) have come to emerge in modern Taiwanese society. Although NMR has become less of ＂taboo＂ and ＂unspeakable＂ over the years, a vast majority of people in Taiwanese society, which is dominated by heterosexism and monogamy values, still believe that any intimate relationships other than conventional one-to-one monogamy are ＂wrong,＂＂sinful,＂＂promiscuous,＂ and ＂immoral,＂ regardless of any extradyadic sexual negotiation/ agreement made by both (or all) partners. The goal of this study was to stand in the mutual position and to have public attitudes toward any kinds of extradyadic intimate relationships collected such as NMR and conventional infidelity. Furthermore, the study broke down extra-dyadic relationships into ＂extradyadic sexual relationship＂ and ＂extradyadic emotional relationship,＂ and tried to examine whether attitudes toward these two forms of extradyadic relationship differ in background variables (which were gender, sexual orientation, dating experience, and relationship identity). 919 unmarried participants, aged 18 to 35, were sampled to analyze and collect the data with an aid of using self-edited NMR attitude scale. The questionnaire was posted on PTT, an online platform in Taiwan before two pilot studies were conducted and corrected. Processed by one-way multivariate analysis, the findings can be summarized as follows: 1. Men's attitudes toward sexually and emotionally extra-dyadic relationships are more open than those of women. 2. Homosexual participants' attitudes toward both sexual and emotional extradyadic relationships are more open than those of heterosexual participants'. 3. Participants without dating experiences were more open than participants with dating experiences regarding emotionally extradyadic relationships. 4. Relationship identity contributes to significant difference between participants' attitudes toward emotional and sexual relationships. The study is an exploratory research of public attitude toward NMR, and the results can serve as references for future studies.
