成年前期未婚女性之婚姻觀探討－以青少年期經歷父母離異者為例
The Exploration of Marital Viewpoints of Unmarried Women in Early Adulthood Experiencing Parental Divorce in Their Adolescence
摘要
台灣近二十年的離婚率明顯攀升，離婚已成為台灣單親家庭的形成主因，而相關議題也日益受到關注。過往研究較關注父母離異對子女的短期影響，近年則有較多研究討論父母離異經驗的長期影響，特別是對成年前期發展之影響，因為此階段正是他們建立親密關係、自己的家庭以及面對婚姻的重要時刻。本研究的研究對象為青少年時期經歷父母離異的成年前期未婚女性，希望了解其父母離異的經驗及婚姻觀，並探討此經驗形塑婚姻觀之歷程。期盼研究發現可做為青少年時期經歷父母離異的成年前期的未婚女性、離婚單親家長、相關實務工作者之參考。 本研究採取質性研究方法，並以深度訪談法蒐集資料。採用立意抽樣與滾雪球抽樣方法，並透過研究者本身的人際網絡以及網際網路徵詢到四位符合研究條件的參與者進行訪談。透過訪談資料的分析，發現以下三個共通的主題： 一、對婚姻既期待又害怕受傷害。 二、尋求可靠、負責任的伴侶，以安撫心中對婚姻的不安全感。 三、參考父母的婚姻，形塑理想的婚姻樣貌。 依據以上的研究發現，建議離婚單親家長給予孩子適切的關心與支持，並維持良好的親子關係，降低其面對婚姻時的不安全感；來自離婚單親家庭的女性則可透過自我反思或專業人員的協助，釐清父母離異的經驗對自己的意義、影響與所需的學習，並在所能且願意的範圍內嘗試、建立心中期盼的親密或婚姻關係；專業人員可提供這群女性有足夠支持感的敘說環境，使其能依自己的步調與方式面對這段經歷，亦可提供性別教育課程、成長團體以及個別諮商服務。 關鍵字：青少年時期、父母離異、成年前期、未婚女性、婚姻觀

In the past two decades, the divorce rate in Taiwan has increased drastically and divorce has become the main source for the single-parent family in Taiwan. Consequently, the issues on single-parent family owing to divorce draw wide attention from Taiwanese society. The previous studies have focused on the short-term effects of divorce on children; nonetheless, the recent research put more emphasis on the long-term effects, especially the long-term impact on children in early adulthood, the stage for young adult developing close relationship, preparing for marriage and establishing their own family. Participants in this research are the unmarried women in their early adulthood who experienced parental divorce in their adolescence. The researcher attempts to understand those women’s experience on parental divorce, their marital viewpoint, including the attitude toward marriage, toward their life style after marriage, and toward their partner selecting tendency, as well as the forming process of marital viewpoint, in order to help women with parental divorce in their adolescence, the divorced single parents, and practitioners. The qualitative research was conducted by in-depth interviews with four qualified participants screened by snowball sampling and purposive sampling via the researcher’s personal networks and the Internet. The research findings indicate three common themes: First of all, the participants anticipate having their own marriage while be afraid of getting hurt inside the marriage simultaneously. On top of that, the participants will look for a responsible and reliable partner to reassure the security of marriage. Last but not least, the participants will imagine the ideal marriage referring to their parents’ marriage. Based on the research finding, the researcher recommends that the divorced single-parent should care and support their female children and maintain well parent-daughter relationship, in an attempt to decrease the young women’s insecurity of marriage. The researcher also asserts that the young women from divorced single-parent family should realize the impact of her parents’ divorce on them, the meanings their gave to the divorce of her parents, and what they have not learned because of the experience of parental divorce, and the ensuing trying to establish the intimacy and marriage as they imagined. Finally, the researcher proposes that the practitioners should provide those young women with life story narrating environments, gender education, growth groups, and individual counseling in order that the young women can face the parental divorce experience in their own fashion and pace.
