原住民族社會資本與幸福感關聯性之研究－－量化資料分析

Correlation between Indigenous Social Capital and Happiness: An Empirical Study in Taiwan

本研究旨在探討台灣原住民族的社會資本與幸福感的關聯性，並據以提出促進原住民幸福感的相關建議。藉由各種研究方法，本研究研擬、測試和建構具有高信度與高效度的「社會資本量表」與「幸福感量表」。社會資本係由三種類型所組成：結合型、橋接型和連接型；幸福感係由六個面向所組成：心理福祉、身心健康、生活與工作平衡、生活水準、人身安全及良善治理。本研究以20歲以上之具有原住民身份者為研究對象，並採取叢集抽樣方法，以全國55個「原住民族家庭|服務中心」為平台，每個中心各邀請15位符合受訪資格者接受面對面的訪問，共計完成有效問卷790份。結果顯示，原住民族社會資本與幸福感的水平皆偏高，特別是在幸福感的「心理福祉」和「生活與工平衡」面向。社會資本和幸福感大多數呈現顯著關聯性，橋接型社會資本和連接社會資本都對整體幸福感有正向且顯著的貢獻。根據分析，本研究提出六項促進原住民族幸福的相關建議。 This study aims to explore the impacts of indigenous social capital (SC) on happiness, and to provide suggestions for promoting indigenous happiness. Both “SC scale” and “happiness scale” were proposed, tested and created with high reliability and validity through various researched methods. The SC scale consists of 3 types: bonding, bridging and linking social capital, and the happiness is comprised of 6 aspects: psychological well-being, physical and mental health, work-life balance, living standard, physical safety, and good governance. The population of the study were indigenous adults aged over 20 and 790 people were invited through cluster sampling to participate face-to-face interview successfully. The outcome shows that the level of indigenous social capital is rather rich, and the degree of happiness is towards positive, in particular in the aspects of “psychological well-being” and “work-life balance.” Most aspects of social capital and happiness are interrelated significantly. Both bridging SC and linking SC would contribute to the degree of happiness positively and significantly. According to the analyses, this study proposed six main suggestions for promoting the happiness of indigenous people.
