碩士 === 東吳大學 === 心理學系 === 93 === This is a story exploring my Hakka family and myself. Through the course of reflections, the unforgiveness for my family and the ego influenced by external expectations are re-understood in a new way. Through narrative inquiry and action reflection methods, different meanings were reconstructed from presumedly fixed believes. In this way, stubborn willful selves were changed and real images different from the past were re-constructed. First, when the story of my life was looked back, more and more meanings were reveled. It seemed that some important themes were meaningful to me, which inspired me to look further for answers. Narrative starts from being a daughter of the Hakka’s labor family. And multiple perspectives of gender, ethnic and class were main perspectives of the whole stories. Through narrative accounts, it is the structure of real images and the individual meanings were in the processes of re-interpretation, which influenced how I reframed problems. And these transformed comprehensions facilitated me to look for practice and change. Based on action research design, the initial action and reflections were started, along with discourses in the class and research group, gaps between “espoused theories” and real experiences were revealed and “theories in use” were becoming clear. After a series of reflections and actions, the way of viewing my Hakka’s labor family was changed. In addition, views on self-inferiority and conflicts in intimate relation ships and children’s learning in poor families were also changed. Finally, “a daughter of the Hakka’s labor family” was a temporary conclusion for this research, and implications and meanings of the research results were also discussed.
