「網路援交」這個議題大約從1999年代開始已然成為社會討論的重點之一。依刑事局統計資料及民間機構進行網路訪問調查結果,發現,少女的網路援交,在臺灣已有年輕化、普及化及大眾化的現象。本研究的目的在瞭解臺中地區高一到高三的高中女學生目前對於網路援交的態度與行為,並分析少女的年齡、父母教育程度、學校成績、個人心理因素、同儕、次文化價值等因素與少女認同網路援交態度與行為關係。本研究採取量化研究之方式,以九十六學年度第二學期就讀臺中地區之高中女學生為研究母群體。樣本採取叢集抽樣合併方式,樣本數包括4所學校,12個班級,總計抽出學生315人。研究發現:一、近七成受訪者贊成網路援交是身體自主的表現。二、受訪少女認同情色行業為正當賺錢方式,但有六成不認同網路援交是正當賺錢方式,顯示少女雖然持肯定網路援交態度,但將其定位為「道德瑕疵」,非「違法行為」。三、年齡、成績、少女得支配之零用金、同儕等因素與受訪少女認同網路援交態度及認同朋友網路援交的態度均無重要關係。但青少年的次文化因素,則有重要影響力。本研究以為造成前開少女與成人對網路援交看法差異,應是受訪少女對自己身體擁有高度的自主意識。對於少女與成人對網路援交看法差異之解決策略,本研究建議:一、加強對於未成年少女有關網路援交的法律宣導。二、透過多元學習,培養少女對自我的肯定。三、拒絕同儕團體不正確的價值觀念,培養正確判斷的能力。
"Internet dating" has become a much discussed issue in our society since 1999. Statistics from the Criminal Investigation Bureau and Internet surveys conducted by civil organizations reveal that female adolescent Internet dating has become a widespread youth practice in Taiwan. The objective of this research is to understand senior high school girls’ practices on and attitudes toward Internet dating in Taiwan, and to analyze factors concerning female adolescents' positive practices on and attitudes toward Internet dating such as their ages, parents' education levels, academic performances, mental conditions, associates, and subcultures. A quantitative approach was adopted – using female senior high school students during their second semester of 2007 in Taichung as target group. Samples, including 4 schools, 12 classes, and 315 students, collected in the way of crowd sampling combination. The following results were found: First, almost 70% of those interviewed consider Internet dating the liberation of one's body. Secondly, they regard the pornography industry as a legitimate source of income; nevertheless, 60% of them had some negative view of Internet. That shows while holding positive attitudes toward Internet dating, those girls consider it a "moral blemish" instead of "illegal conduct." Thirdly, those girl's ages, academic performances, allowances, and associates play minor roles in their positive attitudes toward Internet dating and their friends' practices on Internet dating while adolescent subcultures play a crucial role in them. This research contends that adults and female adolescents hold different viewpoints toward Internet dating owing to those girls’ high self-awareness of their bodies. A number of suggestions are made from the study: first, reinforce legal regulation of Internet dating for female adolescents. Secondly, increase their self-confidence through multiple learning. Thirdly, teach them to foster accurate judgments and reject inappropriate ideas from peer groups.
