本篇論文藉由分析臺灣地區中文人名中所反應的文化價值觀來探討社會對男女有何不同的價值觀點及期望。
我們於第四章和第五章分別探討男生名字和女生名字中反應了那些文化價值觀。 我們進而在第六章藉由分析比較男女名字所反應的不同文化價值觀來探討國人對男女的價值觀點及性別角色的期望有何不同。 基本上, 我們發現男生的名字比女生的名字反應了較多的文化價值觀，也就是說，人們對男生的期望是高於女生的。 比較反應在男女名字上的不同文化價值觀時, 我們發現了三種不同的性別角色期望。
首先，在中國傳統家庭價值觀中(Chinese family ethics)，男生所扮演的是支配者的角色 (dominant role)，而女生則是扮演從屬的角色 (subordinate role)。 其次，在財富價值觀中(wealth value)，男生扮演的是積極爭取財富的角色 (active role)，而女生則是扮演保衛財富的角色 (wealth guarding role)。 至於在個人特質方面 (positive personal traits)，男生的特質是強壯的，勇敢的，至於女生則是具有溫柔的特質。

The aim of this study is to investigate cultural values reflected in Chinese given names to see how men and women are valued differently in Chinese society and further find out what are the different sex-role expectations revealed in names.
We examine what cultural values are reflected in men’s and women’s given names. Further, we compare different cultural values reflected between men’s and women’s given names to see that there are more cultural values reflected in men’s names than in women’s names. This shows that people have more expectations of men than of women.
In comparison of different cultural values reflected between men’s and women’s given names, we find that there are three contrast pairs of sex-role expectations revealed in Chinese given names. The first one is the dominant role of men and the subordinate role of women in the value of Chinese family ethics; the second one is the active role of men and the wealth guarding role of women in the wealth value; and the last one is the strength of men and the tenderness of women in the value of positive personal traits. These different sex-role expectations are generally expected to be complementary to each other in Chinese society.
