伴侶結合過程及其衝突因應：以瓊瑤浪漫愛情小說文本分析為例

The Bonding Process and Conflict Resolution of Couples: A Text Analysis of Qiung Yao Romance Novels

國內研究已證實本地伴侶對親密感（intimacy）的界定與西方理論不盡相同，然以本地文化為視框來探討伴侶親密關係的文獻仍有限。研究者擬從流行文化切入，探討浪漫愛情文化與本地伴侶親密互動的可能呼應關係，而本文則聚焦流行文化文本中如何呈現伴侶親密互動相關的心理歷程，以及這些呈現包含或傳遞了哪些與親密關係相關的訊息。本文以六本瓊瑤暢銷小說為例，以內容分析方法檢視其文本內容，將小說男女主角如何在一起（結合過程）與如何衝突、如何和好的文本呈現方式與心理歷程加以梳理，並與既有研究文獻參照討論。在伴侶結合過程上，本文歸納出「有好感」、「有心」、「怕失去」及「社會認可」等四種動力，在伴侶衝突上則依第一反應、衝突解決策略，及衝突歷程歸納出幾種特色，並以本地文化脈絡為背景討論這些特色的可能意義。文末並提出可應用的範例與建議，以利未來研究與應用。

Research has confirmed discrepancies between local and western couples in the concept of intimacy, although few studies of intimacy have adopted a cultural perspective. Using a pop culture lens, the possible influence of pop romance novels on Taiwanese couples relationships was explored through an examination of how pop romance texts present intimacy, and the messages they convey. The texts of six Qiung Yao romance novels were analyzed qualitatively to ascertain the bonding process of couples and the ways that the couples in the novels deal with conflict with the goal of discovering whether they influence readers' real intimacy behaviors. The analysis identified four dynamics that seem to facilitate the bonding process: good impression, determination and painstakingness, fear of loss, and social recognition. Characteristics of first reactions when couples face conflict, coping strategies for conflict, and the process of conflict resolution were also identified. Possible impacts of these characteristics on couples and their relationships were also discussed in the contexts of local culture.
