摘 要 本研究旨在於探討阿美族中學生之婚姻態度與擇偶條件,研究方法兼採訪談法及問卷調查法,以進行資料之蒐集。訪談階段之研究對象為六位阿美族中學生,而問卷調查階段之對象則為十所原住民重點學校之阿美族中學生,共計有效問卷570份。問卷資料經整理及統計分析後,主要發現如下: 一、 大多數阿美族中學生認為人不一定要結婚,然而一旦結了婚也應該要長長久久的。雖然婚姻生活會帶來各種負擔與束縛,但卻也是美好的。此外,其對單身生活亦有截然不同的看法。 二、 在擇偶條件方面,受到阿美族中學生所重視之前五項工具性條件分別為身體健康、職業、教育程度、經濟能力及外表長相;而受到重視之前五項情感性條件則分別為孝順、有責任感、勤勞、個性相投及品格端正。婚齡差距則以差距在四歲以內者居多,適婚年齡則為二十四歲至二十六歲以及二十七歲至二十九歲之間。 三、 阿美族中學生之婚姻態度因性別、父母婚姻狀況及父母婚姻和諧度的不同而有所差異。 四、 阿美族中學生之擇偶條件因性別、排行、宗教信仰、與異性交往經驗、家庭社經地位、父母婚姻和諧度及家庭氣氛的不同而有所差異。 根據上述研究結果提出建議,俾為原住民教育等後續研究之參考。 關鍵字:阿美族、中學生、婚姻態度、擇偶條件
