摘要

本研究以中央研究院2006年「臺灣社會變遷基本調查」第五期第二次「家庭組」的問卷數據，其目的為探討家庭決策與婚姻滿意度的性別差異。研究樣本為臺灣地區十八歲以上的已婚人口，透過描述性分析、線性迴歸分析進行計量統計研究。其中，家庭決策分為三項，即子女教養、家用支出分配與買高價的家庭用品。
研究結果顯示，男女性的婚姻滿意度皆高達八成以上，且男性婚姻滿意度高於女性。對已婚男性來說，影響婚姻滿意度的因素包括「階層」、「結婚時雙方的家庭經濟差距」、「家庭決策」，自認為上層、支配購買高價值家庭用品決策的男性，其婚姻滿意度較高，當男性結婚時其家庭經濟狀況優於女方家庭、主導子女教養決策權時，其婚姻滿意度較低。而影響女性婚姻滿意度的因素為「年齡」與「家庭決策」，年紀愈輕的女性，其婚姻滿意度較高，當妻子為子女教養主要決策者時，其婚姻滿意度較低。
由迴歸分析中可知，「家庭決策」是婚姻滿意度重要的影響因素，尤其是在子女教養方面，買高價的家庭用品只對男性的婚姻滿意度產生影響，家用支出分配對婚姻滿意度沒有顯著影響。

Based upon data from "Taiwan Social Change Survey", the "family group" questionnaire data of the second time in the fifth period in 2006, conducted by Academia Sinica , Republic of China, the purpose of this study is to explore gender differences on family decision-making and marital satisfaction. The research samples are married people over 18 years old in Taiwan. The quantitative methods with descriptive statistics and linear regression are used in the paper. Of which, family decision-makings are divided by three parts, namely, parenting, household expenditure allocation and expensive household items purchasing.
The results show that the marital satisfactions of both men and women are found as high as 80% and more, and the male marital satisfaction is higher than that of female. The factors affecting marital satisfaction for married men include “class”, “family economy difference between the two sides”, “family decision-making”. The men who feel to belong to “upper class” and dominate to purchase high-value household decision-making, their marital satisfaction are higher. While the men whose family economic situations are better than woman side and leading parenting decisions show lower marital satisfaction. On the other hand, the factors affecting women's marital satisfaction are “age” and “family decision-making”, the younger the women, their marital satisfaction are higher. When the wives are the key decision makers for their children education, their marital satisfactions are lower.
The regression analysis shows that “family decision-making”, especially in child upbringing aspect, is an important factor of marital satisfaction. While buying high-priced household goods only influences male’s marital satisfaction, household expenditure allocation does not significantly influence the marital satisfaction.
