碩士 === 佛光大學 === 心理學系 === 97 === In the past, few studies have directly explored the correlation and potentially influential direction among different cohort generations, love style, sexual attitude and relationship satisfaction on women sample. In order to clarify the relationships among above variables, current study conducted a questionnaire to survey comprehending the indicators of these variables on women in Taiwan. In this study, the participants were separated into three cohort generation groups (baby boom, X generation and Y generation), and 518 valid questionnaires returned. The results show that (1) the discrepancies reach significant levels among three cohort generations only on “storge” and “agape” love styles, “sexual responsibility” and “premarital sex” sexual attitudes and “relationship satisfaction”, and do not find significant discrepancies on other love styles and sex attitudes. Besides, the correlations among main variables reach significant levels on each generation, showing as below. (2) Each of “eros,” “ludus”, and “agape” love style is related to “relationship satisfaction.” (3) The “communion” sexual attitude is positively related to “relationship satisfaction.” (4) There are positive correlations between the “ludus” love style and “permissiveness,” or “instrumentality” sexual attitudes. (5) In the present study, no mediate variable was found. (6) The results confirm that there are some moderating function between “generations” and “relationship satisfaction” on women. They are, the “pragma” love style is negatively related to “relationship satisfaction” on Baby Boomers; however, the correlation between the same two variables is positive on X-ers and Y-ers; the “mania” love style is negatively related to “relationship satisfaction” on X-ers and Y-ers, but not related to “relationship satisfaction” on the Baby Boomers. The contributions of the present study are exploring the differences on love style, sexual attitude, and relationship satisfaction among three cohort generations, and also confirming the moderating role of “pragma” and “mania” love styles on the relationship between “generations” and “relationship satisfaction.”
