臺灣博碩士論文加值系統

本研究收集過去 20 年之間國內外影響婚姻滿意度的相關研究文獻，依照年代、摘要、受試對象及文獻品質作為篩選依據，文獻樣本總共 81 篇，並且以McAdams提出包含演化本能、特質、適應性特徵、生活敘事及文化影響之五個原則為架構進行分類，最後整理與說明過去相關文獻的重要內涵與 結果發現，以期理解各種有關婚姻滿意度決定因素的樣貌、歷史發展及意涵。

研究發現五個原則各自對於婚姻滿意度的單向影響，包括：（1）演化本能與擇偶偏好的關聯；（2）特質原則的個人獨立取向、雙方相似取向與互動歷程；（3）適應性特徵的家庭生命週期、婚姻情感、生活壓力與創傷事件、衝突因應；（4）生活敘事的敘事主題、敘事風格、敘事歷程；（5）社會文化與各個原則的關係。另外，本研究認為婚姻關係的滿意度是個人的特質、適應性特徵與生活敘事三者間相互作用之動態歷程的評估與感受，然而婚姻滿意的良窳亦會增強在互動歷程中的感受。

最後根據本研究結果進行討論，並據此提出建議以作為諮商實務及未來相關研究的參考。

The purpose of this study was to review previous literatures on marital satisfaction for the past 20 years and explained key conceptual and empirical studies by McAdams’ Big Five Principles which were composed by evolution and human nature, dispositional signature, characteristics adaptation, life narrative and the differential role of culture. Important findings were based on the interactions of five principles.

Important findings and conclusions of this study were as follows: (a) The common tendency of mate selection would reflect on the evolution and human nature .(b) Dispositional signature influenced marital satisfaction by three aspects: individual approach, dyadic approach and interactive processes. (c) Characteristics adaptation emphasized the relationship of special events, period or social task and marital satisfaction, such as family life cycle, affection, life stressors or traumatic events and conflict coping. (d) Life narratives investigated the relationship of narrative themes, narrative style, narrative process and marital satisfaction. (e) Culture imposed different effects on different levels of four principles. It exerted a modest effect on the trait; it showed a stronger impact on the characteristics of adaptation and it revealed deepest and most profound influence of life narratives. (f) The relationship of disposition, adaptive characteristic and life narrative made chain effects that interactive process impacted subjective evaluation of marital satisfaction, and marital satisfaction, in turn, also amplified the feeling of interactive process.

Finally, suggestions for couple therapy, family education and directions of further study were proposed.
