本研究旨在探討中年家暴女性自我價值感之轉換歷程。以立意取樣的方式，邀請三位中年家暴女為研究參與者，以半結構訪談大綱進行深度訪談。研究結果以詮釋現象學方法進行分析，以Mruk（2013）的二因素模式（two-factor model）為架構，分析研究參與者自我價值感之意義；以Gilligan 的女性道德核心概念為自我價值感之內涵，分析研究參與者自我價值感之轉換路徑。研究結果有下列發現：一、女性自我價值感萌發於童年時期，以「女性角色」之建立為主要內涵，並受到性別角色期待與女性重要他人之影響。二、女性自我形象形塑於青春期，並影響女性如何向外界展現「勝任能力」以及如何對自己產生「悅納感受」。三、童年及青春期形成的自我價值感議題，將影響女性之婚姻抉擇與婚姻適應風格。四、家暴事件挑戰女性形塑自社會文化之自我價值感，其自我價值感在「自問」、「自助」與「自覺」間來回移動。五、家暴經驗促使中年女性之自我價值感由功能性價值的追求－避免傷害，轉向意義性價值的落實－實現關愛。 研究者根據研究結果，針對家庭教養、學校教育、助人者及當代女性之處境提出反思。 This study aims to explore the transition of middle-aged females’ senses of self-esteem.
