Summary:碩士 === 臺北市立教育大學 === 社會科學教育學系碩士班 === 95 === The main purpose of this research is to understand the message of gender role recived by the children from couple with domestic or foreign spouse as well as the difference and relationship of the attitude of the children toward their gender. The themes of this research include the following three parts. First, the difference of the message on gender-role received by the children with domestic spouse or with foreign spouse will be studied. Second, the attitude of the children with either domestic spouse or with foreign spouse toward their gender-role recognition will be studied. Third, the correlation between the signal on gender recognition received by children with either domestic spouse or with foreign spouse will be discussed. The current research adopt a research methodology of questionnaires of self-description. 620 samples were purposeful selected from eleven elementary schools in Taipei and Tao-yuan County. The analysis methods include percentage, independent sample T test, and nested regressional analysis. From the result of the current research we can conclude: (1) Significant difference was found on message on gender received by the children with domestic or foreign spouse have significant on parent interaction and distribution of power. Children with domestic spouse received more traditional and rigid message on gender-role than those with foreign spouse. (2) There is no significant difference on the attitude toward gender-role among children with either domestic spouse or with foreign spouse. (3) The message on gender-role recognition received by children would be strongly influenced by direct verbal communication from parents and distribution of house works. The more traditional and rigid of the verbal communication and house work distribution from parents, the attitude of children toward genderole recognition would be more traditional and rigid as well. (4) The nationality of mother toward the message on gender recognition received by the children through direct verbal communication and housework distribution is not significant. The message of the gender recognition received by the children does not influence their attitude toward their attitude toward gender. According to the results of the current study, our suggestions are as follow: (1) Regardless of the nationality of the parents, the attitude of the children toward gender is strongly influenced by the direct verbal communication from parents and the distribution of house works. Therefore, we suggest that parents should pass the concept of non-discrimination of gender in the family through education and interaction with children. Parents should also avoid biased attitude in request and reward based on gender. Parents should modify their attitude toward gender based on the modern concept. Only when parents possess the correct attitude toward gender, they could carry the concept in the education. (2) The attitude toward gender of children is not affected by the message they received regardless of the nationality of their parents. Moreover, the children’s attitude toward gender is equal, indicating the influence of school education in gender-equalism . Therefore, we suggest that school education could be more toward the breakthrough of rigid gender recognition in the education of gender-equalism.
