離婚婦女之生活資源與適應

本研究是以Foa等人（1993）的「資源」理論，採質化研究深入訪談為資料的主要蒐集方法，分析婦女在離婚時所可能擁有的生活資源與其離婚後適應的關係。資源分為自己可以提供給自己的資源，即個人獨立面對生活的條件和特質：和別人所給與的資源兩大類。由分析的結果發現：1.離婚適應牽涉到生活的各個層面，所以相同生活資源對不同處境的離婚婦女所能發揮的功能也有差異。2. 不同的人際關係可能提供相同的資源，但此表面上相同的資源，卻可能在本質上有所不同，此正反應出人際資源的本土文化意涵。3.一般而言，資源對適應有益，但因適應牽涉到生活的各層面，不同資源對不同向度的生活適應，便可能產生彼此互補或牽制的情況。4.由於離婚適應是一個長期的歷程，同一項資源在不同的時間點上，特別是在重要他人所提供的資源，可能因為當事人心境或生活處境的不同，而產生意義上的改變，這些改變並衍生出新的適應問題。

This research is based on Foa's ''Resource'' perspective in 1993, and relies on in-depth qualitative interviews as its main source of input data collection methodology. According to input data analyses, this research discovers that: 1) Divorce adaptation involves with all aspects of life, same resource may function differently to different situated women. 2) The same resources offered from different inter-personal relationship may differ essentially, and this also insinuates cultural implication. 3) From the perspective of resources affecting adaptability, resources are certainly positive. However, when the adaptation involves with all aspects of life, the same resource might have negative effect on some certain dimensions. 4)Because divorce adaptation is a long-term process, the same resources, especially those provided by inter-personal networks, would likely fade away as a result of changes in personal interactions, and might psychologically affect the resource function, which in turn will affect women's post-divorced life adaptability.
