| Summary: | 碩士 === 東吳大學 === 社會學系 === 101 === In traditional Chinese society, marriage is not just a combination of men and women, but also a vertical extension of two original families. In addition to couple relationship and intergenerational relationship, woman usually accommodates man. However, the study suggests that with time changes, woman has better education and employment opportunities, have more open concept, compared to past, married women have increased resources, which make them having more power in marriage. In the past, married women took more care of husband’s family in intergenerational relation, but seldom contacted her parents; with the qualitative and quantitative changes in married women's personal resources, values and resources generated by family, and different backgrounds, the intergenerational relationship of married women changes. The intergenerational relationship contains living arrangements, childcare arrangements and support to eldership. Thereby the study attempts to explore how these changes affect the intergenerational relationship of married women from personal resources, relative resource difference of couples, relative resource difference of both parents, the traditional concept, family resources and other factors. In the study, "Chinese family dynamic database": RI1999, RI2000 and RI2003 are used, including 778 valid samples to explore the factors that involve in married women’s intergenerational relationship.
The results show that the higher the personal resources of married women, the more the women will be close to her family in intergenerational relation, including living arrangements choice, childcare arrangements and support parents. In the case of increased personal resource for new era of women, the flexibility of intergenerational relationship enhance than women with fewer resources, which is also why the analysis of the study will be tend to women’s intergenerational relationship as control group. In traditional Chinese society, intergenerational relationship seldom accommodates to women’s family, if choose women’s intergenerational relation as control group, the intergenerational relationship of women in the choice of flexibility can be highlighted. As to the difference in the degree of conjugal resources, there is no eligible assumption, it is more accessible to fight by own. In the analysis results, the conventional concept is not obvious, women have to rely on own strength rather than the strength of traditional concepts.
