A Study of the Subjectivity of Raver’s Culture: Using Q Methodology

[[abstract]]公共政策之研究，通常以一國的多數人為對象，也就是以主流文化為研究的重心。但是作為民主社會的台灣，本研究係以筆者近20年來從不間斷的休閒活動—電音跑趴，及筆者個人的社會網絡，向外連結而進行訪談抽樣，作為本次論文的探討方向，期待以多年電音趴的實地參與所累積的經驗（從單純的參與者轉變成另一個觀察的角色），再以研究所多年所學習到的研究方法---Q方法論，將所蒐集到的資訊經由科學的歸納演繹方法經過整理、歸納、分析後提出給政府部門及相關團體在制定公共政策時更多的參考意見。 本研究以台灣搖頭族為主要論述目標是因為親身參與的「時間橫軸」自青年年齡迄今（已屆中年）「場域縱軸」自非法地下舞廳到目前最引人側目的私人轟趴，跨及年齡、音樂、舞蹈、氛圍、場域、藥物及搖頭文化等複雜面向，國內的探討大都取其一或二，較少多層討論。因此筆者希望以此作為研究，使此族群所引發問題的背後—國家社會因素受到重視，作為公共政策的決策基礎。 有關以「搖頭族」為議題所探討的相關文獻，大部分的研究方法都太偏向於「質化」處理，沒有「量化」的探討。並且偏向以主流文化的邏輯思考「搖頭族」所延伸的相關議題，大多從傳播媒體、社會大眾、政府公部門的角度探討，甚少由次文化的角度切入，更遑論是以「搖頭族」主體性為研究對象。而本研究所使用的「Q方法論」─同時具備「質化」與「量化」的研究，尤其是得以透過一套有邏輯系統的方法來研究「主觀意識」，比較容易質、量二者兼顧。 本研究經過Q方法論的方式經過探索性分析及解析主要的的內容得到5個論述：1.搖頭族就是音樂和舞蹈；2.搖頭族的宗教認同（內生）和社會價值（外衍）；3.「少年初嚐『藥』滋味」的搖頭族；4.追求享樂休閒的搖頭族；5.冷靜、理性的搖頭族。 筆者在這次的論文中深深覺得：在特定的議題下經過科學的Q方法論步驟按部就班的研究，那人類的意識是可以被度量的，也就是說是可以被測量及歸類的，因為在這次的搖頭族主體性分析，每個受訪的成員都非常滿意他們被分配在他們所屬的論述小群體中，這是筆者在這篇論文研究中所得到既驚訝又意外的收穫—那就是「人的意識是可以被度量及歸類的」。[[abstract]]For a long time, the sub- culture is not majored for the public policy whether for the academic or the policymakers. This phenomenon is not a whole compasses for the academic and policymakers. The Ravers, as a long history and important group in the sub-culture. In the pass, all of us rejected them as the members of our country or society. Not only rejected them, but also stigmatized. The author, after investigated the ravers for almost twenty years, discovers there are a lot of misunderstandings about the ravers in the mind of the other. But whether in or out of Taiwan, the Ravers play more and more important in public policy. Taiwan, as a democratic country, ought not to reject anyone in this country. Thus we want to give them an academic research with equalities. We change our focus to the subjectives of the ravers,but not the public who play the majority in our country. To know the subjectives of the ravers is the best opportunity for us to analysis them, and also plan the public policies for them. However the related reseaches about the ravers just fell into the qualitative methods. But they could not analysis the reality of the subjectives of the ravers. So we employ the Q method, by which we can analysis the subjectives of the ravers both in qualitative but also quantitative, so that we can really analysis the true subjectives of the ravers. As we know, the ravers are also divided into several groups by generations, backgrounds, and the other aspects. Thus we divided the ravers into five groups and compare these groups. The comparations can give us the different subjectives We aims at to analysis the subjectives of the ravers by the Q method. Firstly we clarify the concepts in this thesis. Then we review the related researches as our basis. Thirdly we design this reseach by Q method. At last we conclude our reseach discoveries in five dimensions. They are: 1. Ravers in music and dances; 2. The beliefs and social values of the ravers; 3. The ravers who take the "first" Extasy； 4. The entertainments of the ravers and 5. The rational of the ravers.[[note]]碩
