Purposive sampling is used as the sampling method with eight immigrant women in Tainan and Kaohsiung as the research participants who have more than ten years of cross-cultural marriage experiences and are still married. The researcher used in-depth interview to collect data for further analysis and interpretation. From the view of self-in-relation, the researcher studied the relationships and self-recognition of the new immigrant women in their family of origin, their motives, challenges, and breakthroughs of entering cross-cultural marriages, and the self-development process in their current marriages. The research findings reveal: (一)The self-concept of the immigrant women were immature in their origin family; their self-understanding and self-evaluation are mostly based on significant others. Their self also grew in these relation contexts, resulting in developing two main categories of self: positive relations with self and distant relations with self. (二)The process of the transformation of self in marriages are classified as three main points: (1)From subordination to independence: Women rely on their significant others at the beginning and develop to gain autonomy. (2)From patriarchy to equal rights: Women are pressured upon by patriarchal cultures in the primary stage; now they are able to share the power within the family, allowing gender role division to develop toward equal rights. (3)From horizontal to vertical: Women has transformed from valuing a horizontal spouse relationship in the initial stage to emphasizing a vertical parent-child relationship nowadays. The main role of self is “motherhood” instead of “spouse” as before. However, the shift to vertical relation is not mentioned in Gilligan’s “Self-in-Relation” theory; the researcher believes the relation is related to the Chinese social culture. Influenced by Confucianism, women tend to focus on their parent-child relationship in marriages. Based on the research findings, the researcher suggested ideas for the betterment of social work profession and also direction for future research. Cheng, Pei-Fen 鄭佩芬 2015 學位論文 ; thesis 123 zh-TW |

Purposive sampling is used as the sampling method with eight immigrant women in Tainan and Kaohsiung as the research participants who have more than ten years of cross-cultural marriage experiences and are still married.
