情同母女之外：婆媳關係的多元和諧

[[abstract]]Culturally Chinese people expect the relationship between mothers- and daughters-in-law to be as close as mothers and their own daughters. However, some mothers-in-law can not avoid conflict with their daughters-in-law. The harmonious ideal for their relationship is changing due to transformation of the family system, and there are now various possibilities for how they can relate to one another. The dynamic model of interpersonal harmony and conflict is used to draw distinctions among a variety of conceptions of relationships. Thirteen in-depth interviews were analyzed. Results indicated that in modern Taiwanese society, there are 4 harmonious relationship types between mothers- and daughters-in-law: equal sisterhood, affection, obligatory role fulfillment, and efficient co-worker. Some differences in interaction principles and emotion exist among these 4 types, which may be arranged along two dimensions: intimacy/distance and superiority/inferiority. The core components of a harmonious relationship between a mother- and her daughter-in-law are obligatory role fulfillment and efficient co-worker. Those emphasizing the equal sisterhood component have more interaction, and are not restricted to household duties in their interaction. This type may be gaining prominence in modern Taiwanese society.[[fileno]]2080111010021[[department]]學習科學研究
