以創造性藝術處理青年單身議題——「母胎單身」者之個案研究

Abstract

本研究旨在深探創造性藝術於單身議題之應用，並將焦點放在母胎單身者。在心理健康之重要性越被重視的當今，研究者探詢戲劇遊戲與創作所能帶來的療癒經驗，並聚焦在母胎單身者的單身議題之應用。本研究邀請八位20 - 30歲、於雙北地區活動之母胎單身青年作為研究對象，透過四次創造性藝術之工作坊探索母胎單身者的單身議題。研究者除了策動與執行此工作坊，亦觀察、分析、歸納八位研究對象於工作坊前後對於母胎單身議題的看法與態度。本研究為個案與敘事研究，並以參與觀察、深度訪談等質性方法，進行資料的蒐集與分析，探討戲劇與創作如何促進自我對話與成長。研究問題為：一、20-30歲母胎單身者的單身議題呈現何種樣貌？二、20-30歲母胎單身者在參與訪談與工作坊的過程中，經歷了什麼樣的思考與自我探索？三、20-30歲母胎單身者在參與訪談與工作坊後，對於其單身議題之態度產生何種轉變？

研究結果發現，母胎單身青年多受社會對單身的歧視所影響，並傾向抗拒與同儕談論相關話題；而在四次的創造性藝術工作坊與兩次訪談之後，研究對象更能夠喜歡這部分的自己，提升自己對於母胎單身的正向認同，並能將這類話題搬上檯面談論。

This research aims to explore the application of creative arts in youths’ single issues with a focus on relationship virgins. As there is a growing emphasis on the importance of mental health nowadays, the researcher probes into the healing experience of theatre games and creating, with a focus on relationship virgins’ single issues. This research invites eight relationship virgins aged between 20-30 years old who go about their daily lives in Taipei and New Taipei City to tackle their single issues via four sessions of creative arts workshop. The researcher not only planned and operated the workshops, but also observed, analyzed, and concluded the thoughts and attitudes of the eight participants towards the relationship-virgin issues before-and-after the workshops.This research is a case study as well as a narrative inquiry in investigating how drama and creation facilitate self-dialogues and growth, while integrating participant observation and in-depth qualitative interview as the methods for data collecting. The research questions are as followed: (1) What does the profile of relationship virgins aged between 20-30 years old look like? (2) What kind of thought process and self-exploration does relationship virgins aged between 20-30 years old go through while participating in the interviews and workshops? (3) What transformation of attitude takes place for relationship virgins aged between 20-30 years old after the participation in the interviews and workshops?Results are that most youth relationship virgins are affected by how the society discriminates against singles, and they tend to avoid related topics while talking to peers. After four sessions of creative arts workshop and two interviews, the participants are able to take a liking to this aspect of themselves, elevate their identity of being a relationship virgin in a positive light, and bring themselves to discuss related issues more openly.
