- 中文摘要: 本研究主要目的在檢視配偶調適量表在台灣的適用性,以及探討婚姻承諾、家庭生命循環期與婚姻調適的關聯。由台北地區之481對隨機抽樣之夫妻樣本中,配偶調適量表之適用性基本上得到相當的支持。分析的結果顯示有三個主要的概念-一致想法、協調關係、和共同行為-可以涵蓋原來的項目。夫妻樣本間的比較則發現丈夫樣本的調適程度平均都高於妻子樣本。 有關婚姻承諾的資料指出,大約有超過一半的受訪者是因配偶個人的條件(或內在因素)而結婚的。愈重視內在因素者,其婚後之婚姻調適愈良好,尤其是對妻子樣本而言。家庭生命循環期與婚姻調適的關係則因婚姻調適之不同面向而有不同的發現。一般而言,直線下降的模式,而非西方社會所強調的U字型態,似乎更符合台北居民的模式。至於夫妻樣本間之比較,婚姻承諾為說明妻子婚姻調適之最重要因素;家庭生命循環期則對丈夫之婚姻影響較為顯著。 最後,對本研究之重要發現提出了可能的意含,並予以簡單的討論。
- 英文摘要: Two major purposes of this paper are to examine the applicability of the Dyadic Adjustment Scale in aTaiwanese sample and to explore the possible association among marital commitment, family life cycle, andmarital adjustment. Among 481 randomly selected couples in Taipei Metropolitan Area, results are compared among a sample ofhusbands, one of wives, and a conjugal disparity sample. In terms of findings for the Dyadic Adjustment Scale,three related factors or subscales are derived: consensus thinking, satisfaction, and cohesive behavior. Affectionalexpression was excluded without serious change of the total scale which has a high reliability score itself (alphaof .9009). The high overlap between the original DAS and this revised scale clearly supports the applicability ofDAS in the Taiwanese setting. The analysis on marital commitment found that 53% of respondents married because of internal consider-ations (spouse's characteristics). Internal factors are positively associated with better marital adjustment. Fur-thermore, the difference between conjugal marital adjustments shows that marital commitment has the most sig-nificant influence on wives sample. The association between family life cycle and marital adjustment shows that with the progress of family lifecycles, marital adjustment in cohesion and overall adjustment reveal an obvious decrease; while for satisfactionand consensus, fluctuation was observed with the development of family stages. The U-shape or other types ofcurve between family life cycle and marital adjustment emphasized in the Western setting do not appear to be thedominant pattern for our sample. Finally, the multiple regression analysis with all major explanatory variables simultaneously. examinedpoints out that marital commitment, family life cycle, and sex role attitudes are indeed important factors ac-counting for marital adjustment. Comparing husbands with wives found that marital commitment seems to be amore significant factor for wives' marital adjustment; while family life cycle displays more influence on hus-band's marital adjustment. Perhaps the most noticeable findings of this study are the following two aspects. First, those who valuespouse's characteristics over the marital institution when getting married report better marital adjustments. Al-though affectional expression was excluded from the pretest of DAS, the analyses on marital commitment implythat conjugal affection, if put in the proper position (retaining spouse's personal characteristics as the most im-portant consideration in marriage), remains an important factor contributing to marital relations. Second, thedeclining marital adjustment over family life cycle in relation to certain aspects of marital adjustment suggestthat more emphasis needs to be placed on the developmental pattern of marital adjustment. Also the non-linearrelationship between family stages and marital adjustment found in the western society does not seem to apply toTaipei residents.
