| 摘要: | 在所有社會制度中，婚姻是最普遍、最親密、影響最深遠的社會團體，因此婚姻具備了無可替代的特殊性。婚姻是一種健康的自然狀態，獨身者要比過著夫妻生活的人更容易在身心兩方面受到損害。英國伯克斯的一份報告調查了4500位55歲的寡婦中，有213人於丈夫故去後6上月內死亡，占同年齡組死亡總數的40%，這說明喪偶帶來的精神創傷會極大地損害身心健康。喪偶後或有再嫁的想法，但由於情感上的創傷、經濟狀況、子女負擔、生活習慣、傳統觀念等因素的作用，喪偶女性對於再婚的態度也因為這些因素而有所不同的影響。在社會變遷的潮流下，無可避免的會對個人的婚姻觀産生衝擊，若擁有較符合時代的婚姻觀，將有助喪偶女性釐清有關婚姻的問題。有鑒於此，本研究以六名不同年齡階段的喪偶女性（青年、中年、老年）爲研究對象，借文獻探討、深入訪談和內容分析的研究方法，來探討喪偶女性的婚姻觀與再婚態度，呈現喪偶女性對於婚姻的意義、擇偶、再婚等相關議題的真實想法。
Among all the social systems, marriage is a social group that is most popular, most intimate and most influential; therefore, marriage has its irreplaceable specific nature. Marriage is a healthy and natural state and bachelor will thus get hurt more easily than people living in marriage in terms of both physical and mental ways. A report by Birks of England which surveyed 4500 widows with age about 55 years old, it found that 213 widows died within 6 months after her husband’s death, which occupies a percentage of 40% of the total number of death in the group of the same age and this explains that the spiritual trauma brought by the death of couple might greatly cause physical and mental hurt. There might be a though of re-marriage after the death of couple, however, the attitude of female-with-husband-died on re-marriage might be affected by factors such as: emotional trauma, economic situation, loading from children, living habits and traditional concepts, etc. The trend of social change could unavoidably lead to impact on personal marriage point of view; therefore, the grasp of modern marriage point of view will no doubt help female-with-husband-died to clarify some marriage issues. Hence, in this study, six females-with-husband-died of different ages (Youth, middle age and old age) will be our research targets and research methods such as literature survey, in-depth visit and content analysis will be used to investigate the marriage point of view and attitude of re-marriage of female-with-husband-died, we try to display the real thinking from female-with-husband-died on the related topics such as: meaning of marriage, spouse selection and re-marriage, etc. |
