女性移民資訊尋求行為與家庭傳播型態應用之研究

The Study of Information Seeking Behavior and Family Communication in Immigrated Women

近年來因為跨國婚姻移民至台灣的女性人數逐年增加，為台灣社會帶來許多新挑戰。女性移民在個人需求及外在因素影響下，努力在台灣完成大學教育、參加職業訓練及加入各種社團組織，除了提升個人競爭力，更成為台灣社會重要的人力資本。女性移民在教育歷程轉化過程中，個人資訊尋求行為及其家庭傳播型態是本研究關注的重點。本研究深度訪談4位女性移民並針對62位女性移民進行閱卷調查。研究發現：1、女性移民資訊需求以工作或就業及指導子女功課為主；2、女性移民資訊尋求管道七成五以上來自同鄉會及姊妹會；3、四成八以上的女性移民家庭配偶會主動與其討論事情並共同做決定；4、五成六以上女性移民的子女會主動與她討論相關事務，並共同做決定。本研究建議：1、應透過女性移民最常接觸的同鄉會及姊妹會，次網路、大眾媒介發佈或推動與女性移民權益有關的各項資訊；2、女性移民較相信及尊重生活周遭人的看法及意見，深入了解女性移民的人際接觸管道，尤其是網路虛擬人際互動部分是後續研究女性移民資訊尋求行為的重要議題；3、近五成的女性移民，來台後曾參與政府職訓中心及民間機構提供的職業訓練，日後政府部門應該定期透過女性移民較常接觸的同鄉會及姊妹會了解女性移民接受訓練課程的潛在需求，並依其所需辦理各項長短期訓練課程，逐年提升女性移民在台的自我競爭力。

The number of immigrant women from cross-national marriage in increasing and becomes a challenge in Taiwan. After finishing their undergraduate education or job training programs, they become an important part of local human resource. It is therefore interesting to explore their transformation process as a mother or a wife through education. A total of 62 immigrant women were included in this study using questionnaire and in-depth interview. The results showed the main demand of information is for work or for assistance in children's homework. The information was obtained in 75 percent of the interviewee via townsmen associations or sororities. Among them, 48 percent of their husbands and 56 percent of their children were actively involved in issue discussion and decision making. Our study suggested in addition to internet and public media, related information aimed for immigrant women should be announced via their most commonly accessed townsmen associations or sororities. Besides, immigrant women tended to respect the opinions from people around. Virtual interpersonal interaction may be a research subject in the future. Based on the fact that almost half of the immigrant women had ever received some kind of job training, the potential demand for such programs should be stressed.
