由於過去雖然有關於青少年偶像崇拜的一些研究,但是這些研究鮮少以青少年性別和階級因素來探究崇拜偶像的不同,因此本研究欲從階級文化、性別觀點出發,探究勞工階級和中上階級學生對偶像崇拜行為的差異,研究目的如下: 一、探討兩所不同社經背景學校的國中生崇拜偶像的類別和行為。 二、剖析兩所不同社經背景學校的國中生經由那些管道認識和崇拜偶像。 三、瞭解兩所不同社經背景學校的國中生欣賞偶像那些特質和其影響。 四、探究兩所學校內不同性別和社經背景國中生崇拜偶像的差異。 五、歸納兩所社經背景不同學校的國中生偶像崇拜行為對教育的意義。 本研究採取質性研究中的觀察與訪談法蒐集資料,研究對象為台北都會區兩所國中的二年級學生,一所國中位於中上階級為主的社區,另一所位於勞工階級為主的社區。觀察內容主要以學生下課時間與其他活動,所表現出的偶像崇拜行為為主,觀察資料主要是補訪談資料的不同。訪談則是針對學生崇拜偶像的行為、崇拜原因、崇拜偶像影響和性別關係,進行訪談。觀察及訪談資料均轉錄成逐字稿並根據逐字稿進行編碼,發展出主題與項目,進行分析與解釋。 經過探討之後,本研究得到下列結論: 一、三星人物成為兩階級學校國中生最主要的崇拜對象,師長失去偶像地位。 二、國中生崇拜偶像多以男性偶像為主。 三、女生崇拜偶像的強度較高,並且以勞工階級學校的女生為然。 四、大眾媒體已普遍影響兩個階級學校的青少年,但接觸管道及頻率仍以勞工階級為多。 五、文化工業所生產的偶像商品,以勞工階級及女性消費程度較高。 六、同儕會增強青少年認同偶像,尤其是勞工階級的青少年更為顯著。 七、崇拜偶像成為青少年休閒生活的重心,尤以勞工階級為然。 八、青少年藉由偶像崇拜獲得身份認同,甚至認同異文化。 基於上述結論,本研究對未來後續研究提出一些建議,備供參考。
This study explores the idolization culture of teenagers in terms of class and gender differences. It employs participant observation and semi-structured interview techniques to collect idolization-related data from two junior high schools in Taipei. One is in a working-class community and the other a middle-upper-class community. The major findings are as follows: 1.The so-called three stars (singers, movie stars and sportsmen) have been identified as the most favorite idols by students in both schools. The school-teachers are no longer on their idol list. 2. The idols that junior high school students like most are, by and large, male. 3. Girls idolize stars more often than boys, especially in the working-class school. 4. Girls and working-class students consume more idol products merchandised by the cultural industries. 5. Students of the working-class school connect more with the mass media which has evidently caused an immense impact on adolescents’ idolization. 6. Peer group serves as catalyst for the facilitation of identification with idols, especially in the life world of working-class students. 7. The working-class students usually have a grand time with idolization-related activities when they are at leisure. 8. Idolization plays an important part in the process of adolescents’ identity formation, and some of them even want to learn a foreign culture simply because their idols are brought up in it.
