摘要

本研究的目的在了解助人工作者的和諧價值觀以及個人取向的價值觀與他們在家暴事件中專業判斷的關係。研究者以協助處理家暴案件的法律與助人專業工作者為對象，分析他們承襲自傳統的以「完整與和諧的家庭」為中心的價值觀，以及其專業領域所強調的「重視個人的自主與成長」的價值觀，與他們對家暴受害者的建議之間的關聯。研究者根據專業倫理守則及訪談實務工作者的結果撰寫家暴事件情境故事，編制法律與助人專業工作者專業價值觀量表，以及在處理家暴事件中引發的價值觀量表，而後求取此二量表與支持受暴者回家的同意度及離婚同意度的相關。研究結果顯示：比較重視面子，和諧忍讓及個人成長價值觀念的工作者傾向支持受暴者回家的決定，愈重視和諧家庭與給孩子完整家庭等價值觀的工作者也愈傾向於支持受暴者回家以及反對她離婚的決定。與原先假設不同的是愈重視個人成長價值者反而愈反對離婚，研究者認為這可能是因為華人習於自人際關係層次的自我來定義自我成長，一個良好自我成長者應有和諧的人際關係。

This study examines the effect of traditional Chinese values and values inherited from the West on professional workers' judgments in a family violence situation. Traditional Chinese values emphasizing a harmonious family may lead workers to encourage their clients to find the best resolution for the family. Individualistic Western values may lead workers to encourage their clients to find the solution best for the individual. A questionnaire was used to interview lawyers, social workers, and family counselors with experience assisting family violence victims. Results indicated that professionals who emphasized either Chinese harmony or Western personal growth values tended to support a victim' decision to go back home, and were reluctant to encourage victims to seek divorce. These results contradicted the researcher's hypothesis that those who emphasize Western personal growth tend to agree with a victim's decision to go back home and not to seek divorce.
