| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺北教育大學 === 教育政策與管理研究所 === 97 === This study aims to explore the attitude and sense of satisfaction of the spouses of immigrant females toward their marriages. Up to 460 men with immigrant wives were sampled, and abundant raw data collected were analyzed by means of descriptive statistics, one-way ANOVA, as well as structural equation modeling. The findings are as follows (for the sake of simplicity, “men with immigrant wives” shall be referred to as “men” throughout this abstract):
1. The average man of Penghu was revealed to hold a positive marital attitude, of which the part he held the best opinion about was the endurance.
2. The average man of Penghu was most satisfied with the psychological aspect of his marriage. By contrast, the economical aspect was rated the least satisfactory.
3. Men aged between 30 and 39 had a significantly weaker sense of necessity about their marriages than those within other age intervals, whereas men aged between 20 and 29 had a significantly lower intention toward marriage than those within other age intervals. However, men within those two age intervals showed no significant difference from others in terms of marital satisfaction.
4. Catholic men were revealed to have significantly stronger faith in the endurance of their marriages as well as a significantly higher degree of satisfaction about the physiological and social aspects of their marriages than those with another religion. Husbands whose immigrant wives were Taoist were revealed to have significantly stronger faith in the endurance of their marriages than those with another religion; however, Catholic men were significantly less satisfied with the economical aspect of their marriages
5. Men with a higher education background tended to have a more positive attitude toward the endurance of their marriages as well as a higher degree of satisfaction with the social aspect of their marriages. Men whose immigrant wives had a higher education background tended to have a more negative attitude toward the necessity of marriage; however, the degree of satisfaction with their marriages showed no significant difference.
6. Men with a higher social ranking occupation had a more positive attitude toward the endurance as well as necessity of their marriages; besides, they also showed a higher degree of satisfaction with the physiological as well as social aspect of their marriages. Men whose immigrant wives worked as general, mi-professional public servants tended to show consent to the endurance of their marriages; on the other hand, men whose immigrant wives were technical laborers tended to dissent to the necessity of their marriages while consenting to the marital sensation. Besides, men whose immigrant wives had lower social ranking occupations showed a lower degree of satisfaction with the social aspect of their marriages, while men whose immigrant wives had higher social ranking occupations showed a higher degree of satisfaction with the psychological as well as philosophical aspect of their marriages.
7. Men with greater familial income showed a more positive attitude toward the endurance of their marriages, which was positively correlated to the degree of satisfaction with the economical aspect of the marriages.
8. Men with three children were least satisfied with the economical aspect of their marriages; however, their showed no significant difference in their attitude toward marriage than other men.
9. Men whose marriages had lasted for 5~7 years had the highest degree of satisfaction with the social aspect of their marriages, which, however, showed no significant correlation to their marital attitude.
10. The wife’s age was not a significant factor of either the marital attitude or the degree of satisfaction, and nor was her nationality. Also whether or not the man had a disability ID showed no significant correlation to either the marital attitude or the degree of satisfaction.
11. Marital sensation and marital intention were the most significant factors of men’s attitude toward their marriages. As for the degree of satisfaction, social and psychological aspects were the most significant factors.
In light of the above findings, the researcher shall also offer a number of suggestions to families, immigrant females and their spouses, the authorities concerned, as well as future research endeavors.
