Abstract

長期以來客家女性在客家文化中佔有重要地位,若將客家女性的特性抽離,客家族群的特色就無法完整建構。然而這樣的客家女性是如何教養出來的,需遵守何種規範,在日常生活中,有什麼樣的社會控制機制在運作?她們又以何種態度去面對?這些即是本研究的主要關心議題。以七位出生、生長且目前也居住在高雄縣美濃鎮的客家女性為研究對象。研究目的為:1.瞭解美濃客家女性需遵守的性別角色規範。2.瞭解美濃客家女性對性別角色規範的態度。3.瞭解女性在客家文化中的社會關係。4.比較客家女性不同社會位置的差異。研究過程採用質性研究取向,以深度訪談的方法,探討美濃客家女性的性別角色與社會關係。依照女性的生涯發展歷程,分別從身為女兒、嫁做人婦、媳婦熬成婆三個階段中需遵守的性別角色規範,加以敘述及分析。並進一步探討男女兩性的性別角色,及女性在客家文化下的社會位置、人際關係與從中所延伸出來的互動網絡。最後,將客家女性的共同與差異性作一分析與比較。 本研究結論如下: 一、客家女性非同質性的範疇。 1.在世代變遷下,年輕女人違反規範,老女人捍衛傳統。 2.高學歷高能動性,才有機會與能力擺脫客家文化的規範。 3.原生家庭的社經地位影響她們對規範的認知與態度。 4.長女承受較多規範限制。 5.接觸其他文化才能突破傳統束縛的框架。 二、客家女性在妥協的生存策略下,採取迂迴的抗議方式。 三、客家文化中男孩讀書、女孩幫忙的性別養成教育。
