碩士 === 國立臺北教育大學 === 社會與區域發展學系碩士班 === 99 === The purpose of this study was to explore the influence of two mate selection strategies of open relationships and two-timing on success rates of matching in the dynamic marriage market; and to investigate the influence of multiple two-timing on the effectiveness of mate selection while the simulation aspects were extended to attain the aim of integrating the mate selection strategies. Based on the rational choice of matching rule of self-interest maximizing in economics, a simulation setting of marriage matching model was established in the study through computer-assisted system. In the simulation society, the mate selectors tended to adopt the same mate selection strategies, which were called “Patterns of Mate Selection”. In a dynamic society, marriage market will maintain a random and balanced supply of new bloods during the process of every round of matching. Participants after marrying will henceforth disappear from the marriage market. Participants will be evaluated by adopting the methods of a gradual rising level of their resources before the first five rounds of matching and a gradual declining level of their resources after the 5th round in the different rounds of matching. The marriage market is basically a living organism which presents a real society. On the other hand, in order to understand the influence of different variables on success rates of matching, this study was to undertake 100 times of simulation each according to the different simulation contexts designed respectively from three aspects of mate selection patterns, rounds of soliciting marriage and probability of blooper to integrate and approach the corresponding relationship between variables and success rates of matching. The research findings are as follows: 1.In the dynamic marriage market, the mate selection pattern of open relationships was superior to that of two-timing; 2.The inferior level of resources one had, the less advantageous he/she was in the mate selection pattern of two-timing; 3.The factor of early marriage increased the success rate of matching; 4.It was not helpful to increase the number of two-timing in the effectiveness of mate selection; 5.The blooper effect made a certain impact on the success rate of matching from the mate selection pattern of two-timing.
