老年、性別與敘事:老年生命脈絡的性別建構

Old Age, Gender, and Narrative: The Gendered Construction of Old Age

摘要


本研究旨在從生命脈絡的角度,探討台灣老年性別角色與氣質的建構與發展。研究以最大變異抽樣及標準性抽樣原則的綜合立意抽樣方法,運用訪談方式紀錄台灣138位年齡65歲以上男女兩性的生活紀事,透過敘事分析與內容分析發現:男性老人過去的生命意義顯現的是獲取的累積,女性老人的過去顯現的卻是生命的欠缺;在現時生活方面,男性生活形態逐漸內撤,女性生活則逐漸外張,使得以往男女性別氣質男外⁄女內、男動⁄女靜、男積極⁄女被動的社會建構,在老年生活中有逐漸混同的現象;對於未來,男性老人的生命建構傾向較高的欲求、抽象化與多樣化,但卻有較高的無力感;女性老人的建構則有較細緻、具體、積極、而主動的想像。整體而言,到了老年,兩性的生活都回歸到對自已身體的關注,但生命樣態卻有不同的展現,對女性而言,老年生活似乎是原有生命的延續,甚至是另一種生命的開展,而且顯示出比較充實、豐富的生活樣貌;相對的,男性老人的生活則比較單調、內撤,對男性而言,老年生活確實是一種生命的轉換,在「去責任」的過程中,形成角色和任務的改變或撤離。

並列摘要


The study aims to examine, from a life-context perspective, the construction and development of gender roles and gender traits among the elderly in Taiwan. By using the methods of in-depth interview, content analysis and narrative analysis with 138 samples of people over sixty-five years old, this study finds out: men's constructions of their past life were representative of gaining in contrast to women’s demonstration of lacking. In terms of the present life-space, old men come to be more withdrawn and introverted, but old women more were active and extroverted. Consequently, the different social constructions of gender roles, such as men/women, introverted/extroverted, active/passive and public/private, are becoming blurred. The constructive life-meanings of future among elderly males tend to be more acquisitive, abstracted and powerless; however, elderly females are more delicate, concrete, open and realistic. As a whole, for old men, ageing is a process of de-obligation which leads to a transformation of their lives and roles. For old women, ageing is a continuation of their lives and roles which leads to an extension of their life-world.
