摘要

家庭是社會的基本單位，是個人經濟來源與情感依附的重心，台灣正面臨人口老化、生育率下降、家庭結構轉變及平均壽命延長的趨勢，家庭中可能同時存在多個世代。本研究主要在探討不同世代對家庭功能的期望與差異情形，來分析其對家庭功能期望與差異的類型與原因，並探討這些原因對世代互動的影響，最後再建構不同世代對家庭功能期望與差異的模式。以成熟世代、嬰兒潮世代、XY世代進行三方的訪談，收集第一手深度性資料，共完成訪談18位。
本研究結果為：世代間互動的良窳、家庭功能需求的滿足會增進家庭成員的幸福感，而不同世代間對家庭功能需求與其實際感受略有不同，其差異與互動情形可分為四個種類：父慈子孝型、得過且過型、相互干擾型及資源不足型。父慈子孝型的世代相處融洽；得過且過型表面上對現狀滿足，心裡卻有所想法；相互干擾型則常有衝突影響家庭氣氛；資源不足型因家庭不完整會出現極端反應。本研究亦提出具體建議：1.針對高齡者應鼓勵多參與教育課程並提升自我資訊運用能力；2.在成年子女部份應學習聆聽不同世代的聲音，拉近世代距離並增加親子互動與陪伴。

Family is the basic unit of society, and one’s source of income and focus of emotional attachment. Taiwan is facing the trends of aging population, declining fertility rate, transformation of family structure, and extension of average life expectancy. In a family, several generations may live together. So understanding the differences and similarities between thoughts of different generations is conducive to improving the interaction quality between them. This research aims to explore the expectations of different generations on family functions and the differences between them and further to analyze their types and the reasons behind them, discuss the effect of these reasons on intergenerational interactions, and in the end, build a model of expectations of different generations on family functions and differences between them. Tripartite interviews among the generations of the mature, the baby boomer, and the XY were conducted to collect first-hand in-depth data. Totally 18 people were interviewed.
The results of this research are as follows: The interactions between generations and the satisfaction of demand for family functions will increase the happiness of family members. However, the demands of different generations for family functions are slightly different than their actual feelings, and their differences and interactions can be categorized into four types, “loving father and filial son”, “muddling along”, “mutual interfering”, and “lack of resources”. In “loving father and filial son” type, different generations have harmonious relations; in “muddling along” type, family members are seemingly satisfied with the current situations, but it is not the case in their mind; in “mutual interfering” type, there are often conflicts that affect the family atmosphere; In “lack of resources” type, extreme reactions will appear because of the incompleteness of the families. This research also raised concrete suggestions below: 1. Elders should be encouraged to join education courses and enhance their own information application ability; 2. grown-up children should learn to listen to voices of different generations, to narrow the gap between generations and increase the parent-child interactions and opportunities to accompany their families.
