「遠距戀愛」或許不是當代所獨有的現象，但不可否認，因為社會條件、環境改變已促使遠距戀愛發生的可能性高於以往。「遠距」使得這群人有著不同一般戀愛相處的模式，到底距離對親密關係的影響為何？這是筆者所欲釐清的。 或許，即時的視迅、便捷的E-Mail、較以往便宜的國際電話、甚至是免費網路電話…這些現代科技對當代的遠距戀愛助益非淺。人們利用這些科技，試圖克服實體距離所帶來的影響，這也是當代遠距戀愛與以往遠距戀愛最大的差異，它使得人們在維持遠距戀愛上，似乎有更多成功的機會！ 但如果深入觀察，遠距戀愛者似乎仍有諸多的不安，其中比較特殊的是人們對「近水樓台」的擔憂，人們為何產生這樣的擔憂？以及人們不斷強調信任對遠距戀愛的重要性，亦即信任作為化解不安的重要環節，裡面的內涵為何？不過，本文的討論並不僅止於探討遠距戀愛中信任的作用，而是，當物理距離已經是既存的前提時，這些遠距戀愛的情人在有意無意中，到底運用了什麼技巧，使彼此在互動過程中，以增進信任的意願、減低誤信的機率。另外，本論文引用Goffman的理論並結合本研究的經驗分析，目的在深入討論信任互動的過程。

從高等教育學與術的辯論出發，本研究聚焦在實習的議題，以新聞傳播系所學生的學習經驗出發，探討學習者對於校外實習經驗的反思，以探索他們對於學習生涯的意義與自我觀的演變。 研究者透過深度訪談以瞭解新聞傳播系所學生在校外實習遭遇的困難，及應變的心理機轉，並發現在實習歷程中，學生遭遇到最主要的困難在於角色定位不明、實習時間不足，難以融入實踐社群，自然無法近用到工作所需之結構性資源。 在實習期間的觀察與反思，學生會將以往所學作為實作的基礎，但也會因為組織環境的差異而有所調整，乃至於在新的工作情境中發展出和在校時截然不同的學習策略。 回到學校進行後續學習時，學生亦會對先前實習經驗進行反思，瞭解到學校環境和實務環境的基礎差異，並將這樣的反思回饋到自己對生涯規劃和新聞專業的想像上。 研究者建議，新聞傳播系所在教學時，應教導學生在實習工作中觀察的技巧，要看到程序性知識的精髓，而非僅是複製技能，並在實習之後將實習的經驗視為觸發反思的契機，鼓勵學生分享實習的經驗，從中學習成長。另外，也呼籲收實習生的媒體單位，能將實習生的角色做妥適的運用，以創造產學雙贏。

娛樂性媒介收視在過去往往被視為是「非政治」的。所幸，晚近文化研究成果已成功揭示閱聽人接收大眾文化文本的過程本質上也具政治性─閱聽人可能巔覆、抵抗正文意識型態，從而產生庶民的政治化意識。然而前述論點仍有潛在危險，因為一旦娛樂性的媒介收視非得涉及嚴肅的「政治性批判」才具備政治上的「合法性」，娛樂收視中的其它部份將再度受到貶抑。循此，研究者期待透過紀登斯的「生活政治」觀點為閱聽人研究中的政治問題賦予新的詮釋與可能。 本研究一方面回顧紀登斯的「自我認同」及「生活政治」論述，二方面蒐集了閱聽人觀影後的自我書寫資料並對其創用者進行深入訪談，以回應研究者的核心提問。結果顯示閱聽人接收媒介通俗文本時，同時在「看著他人的故事想著自己的心事」。過程裡，收視者的自我反思將帶動著自我認同的發展，從而和生活政治的推展產生聯繫。研究者希望透過本研究擴充當代閱聽人研究的提問角度，並和紀登斯的生活政治概念進行理論及經驗上的對話。 / Entertaining media reception has long been regarded as “irrelevant to politics.” However, a body of literature of Culture Study found that “reading-the-popular-text” is political in itself, since readers might subvert or resist the ideology embedded in the popular texts, hence, empowering them the “political consciousness.” Yet, the above argument is incomplete: once entertaining media reception relate to policy only through the “politically critical reading”, the rest reading types of the audiences will be debased logically. Thus, this thesis introduces the concept of “Life Politics”, raised up by Anthony Giddens, to inject new possibilities into the reception-study tradition. This thesis reviews Giddens’ theory on the one hand, collects the empirical data through audiences’ post-text on Blogs after receiving the popular text and self-narration in interviews on the other, to answer research questions. The result shows that audiences are inclined to reflex themselves while receiving the popular text. The whole process leads to the development of Self-Identity which has a deep linkage to the modern course of Life Politics. The analysis and theories mentioned above will broaden our understanding of audiences’ reception as well as enlarge the usability of Giddens’ political thought.

紀登斯（Anthony Giddens）在探討社會問題之前首先指出造成現代社會之所以不同於前現代社會的力量，這股力量就是現代性的兩個主要特徵：時空分離和抽離化機制，而且社會學的反思性力量從而也影響了現代社會中個人的行為。另一方面，個人層面的反思性亦決定了個人的生活。本研究借用紀登斯的理論，從現代性與反思性來檢視寫日記此一行為的變異。日記是傳統的行為與媒介，而網路則被視為體現現代性的媒介，網路的虛擬時空、靈肉分離、互動等特性為網路日記書寫者提供一個更為開放的自我認同的工程。本研究發現，網路日記的隱秘性及主權難以掌控，而且網友的閱讀與回應雖然增加了書寫網路日記的意願、甚至使網路日記成為展演的場所，但是卻也可能成為網路日記書寫者的顧忌，反而使網路日記所記載的我有所壓抑。 / Anthony Giddens’ theory indicating reflexivity and modernity which pose separation of time and space and disembedding as two main characters considered the forces triggering the change between traditional and modern society sets the frame of this thesis. Compared to paper-based traditional diary, on-line diary exiting on internet characterized by pesudonymity virtuality and interactivity provides a much more open construction of self-identity. The result of this study discovered that the secrecy and author right are uncontrollable, moreover, the response of on-line-diary-readers enhance, meanwhile worry the willingness of on-line-diary-keeping, as a result, the self-construction work of on-line diary is not as open as it promises.

暢銷書是人們學習愛情資訊的重要管道，其內含有小說、散文與劇本等文類。它們不僅提供多樣的愛情論述，更是讀者吸收、學習愛情經驗的重要摹本。能夠出版暢銷書的作家們具備強烈的社會影響力與能見度，因此暢銷書反映了社會大眾的愛情觀念，同時也提供人們在愛情生活中該如何自處與面對愛情的生活倫理與準則。本研究亟欲透過暢銷書的研究來理解社會的主流愛情觀念，並從中分析出各種愛情困境的行動導引，最後將之統整並與社會理論家對話。為了研究愛情類的暢銷書，本研究以TPI暢銷排行榜(2004/1~2013/8)的資料作為取樣對象，並以暢銷度為首要考量後挑選適合書籍進行研究。根據研究發現，暢銷作家在許多方面與社會理論家看法一致。然而，暢銷作家比理論家專注於個人於愛情中所遭遇的困境，以及愛情困境所能實行的解決方案。愛情類暢銷書的論述呈現高度理性化、自我反思、自我實現等正向積極的現代性特徵，其中「愛自己」的論述更是它們對現代愛情的主要看法。對暢銷書而言，「愛自己」顯然是避免「浪漫愛陷阱」的最佳方式。暢銷書透過「愛自己」的論述將愛情理性化，並且從自我出發，重新建構正向積極的愛情心態。正是這種積極向上的論述重新建立起讀者對愛情的希望，並且成為讀者持續相信、進入愛情的重要原因。 / Bestselling books serve as the very way of getting love information. It contains novel, essay and drama kinds of literatures. They supply various love discourse to help readers to absorb and learn love experiences as such. Those who can publish best seller books are authors with strong social influence and visibility, therefore, books of these authors have the capacity of reflecting love ideas of general public and giving instructions for readers to deal love matters with ethical principles. The goal of the study is to use the best seller books to understand main stream ideas of love, summarizing instructions of hurdles in love and, finally, compile them into a compact form to discuss with theorists. In order to research best seller books of love, we choose the ranking list of best seller books in TPI (Taiwan Publisher Information) website as a target population to sample from, and using the degree of selling as the main sampling factor to select proper samples to research on. Based on our research findings, bestselling authors share same opinions with theorists in many aspects, however, bestselling authors are more focusing on personal struggles in love and the solutions that one can take to deal with. The discourse of best seller books present positive and active modernity portrait, for examples: highly rationalization, self-reflexivity and self-realization. Among these features, “Love Thyself”is the main concept of their way to perceive modern love. For best seller books, “Love Thyself”seems to be the best way to avoid “Traps of Romance” as such. Through the ideas of self-loving, best seller books is able to rationalize love with discourse and start from the point of self to re-construct positive and active mentality. It is from this positive and active discourse that readers can re-establish their hope to love and convince themselves to continually believe or enter into the sphere of love. Keywords: Best Selling Books, Sociology of Love, Reflexivity, Self-Love, Hope.

自從2004年台澳簽署「打工度假」(Working Holiday)協定以來，每年台灣青年赴澳人數不斷增加，在國內掀起一股「壯遊」的熱潮。然而相關新聞報導與國內的研究卻發現，到澳洲打工旅遊的台灣年輕人，因為語言能力比不上當地人，所以多從事耗費體力的工作，而且工作穩定度低、危險性高、容易遭遇黑工問題等等，使台灣打工旅遊者的勞動環境越形惡劣。但在筆者的研究中，發現打工旅遊者卻輕忽勞資問題，必且拒絕承認自己為「台勞」。因此，本文的焦點在於探討台灣打工旅遊青年如何從自身「主體」性的眼光，去看待自己同時打工、又同時旅遊的行為？他們對自己抱持著怎麼樣的「想像」來理解打工旅遊的經驗？這樣的「想像」又是如何被塑造出來？ 本研究採質性研究方法，包括深入訪談、參與觀察、線上民族誌與非侵入性研究，並使用這些不同來源的資料進行交叉分析，以確認資料之信度與效度。在分析架構上，從「結構」和「個體」這兩者的互動展開，首先討論澳洲與台灣政府在塑造「打工旅遊」上扮演的角色，再來探討台灣青年在打工旅遊的過程中，對於自我身分的認同如何演變的過程。最後，本研究使用Giddens (1991)所提出的「現代性的反思性」來理解台灣青年如何將打工旅遊理解為自我敘事的一部份：逃離台灣變成一種自我實現的追尋，與既有的生命歷程斷裂。本文以此研究結果，來回應既往文獻研究的不足之處，並提醒台灣打工旅遊者對於「壯遊」的想像，可能會掩蓋澳洲惡劣的工作環境與勞動剝削的事實。 / Since Australia’s “Working Holiday Maker Visa Agreement” was signed with Taiwan in 2004, the number of Taiwanese working-holiday makers in Australia has grown rapidly every year. “Grand Tour” became a popular concept in Taiwan. According to the related literature, most Taiwanese working-holiday makers had no choice but to participate in the primary labor market in Australia due to the lack of English ability. They usually encountered highly risky, unstable, and even illegal working environment. However, the study found that Taiwanese working holiday makers ignored the nature of their employment and refused to call themselves “Tai Lau” (Taiwanese laborers). As a result, the study analyzed how Taiwanese working holiday makers think of themselves when they worked and traveled at the same time? What imagination did they have on their working holiday experience? In what ways was the “imagination” structured? The study was conducted by using qualitative research methods, which included in-depth interviewing technique, participant observation, unobtrusive methods, and online ethnography. Data collected through different channels and methods were triangulated to check the reliability and validity of data. The analytical framework focused on the interaction between “social structure” and “individual.” First, the study examined how Australian and Taiwanese governments both played the important roles in shaping and enforcing the working holiday policy. Second, this study explored the process in which Taiwanese working-holiday makers’ self-identities were changed when they were in Australia. Glidden’s (1991) concepts of modernity and self-identity were found to be particularly relevant in understanding Taiwanese working holiday makers’ self-narratives. They escaped from Taiwan to seek self-fulfillment, and their lives and identities in Australia were separated from their original life trajectories. The findings of this study can contribute to current tourism research by pointing out that the imagination of a “Grand Tour” may cover up the difficult working environments and exploitation faced by working-holiday makers.

The present study examined the relationships between COVID-related stress, mental health and professional burnout in the infant and early child mental health (IECMH) workforce and examined reflective supervision and consultation (RSC) as a potential protective factor in the context of COVID-related stress. Participants included 123 adults (n = 121 female, modal age range 30-39 years) in the TN IECMH workforce (mean years of experience = 13.6 years) surveyed in June/July 2020. Sector representation was quite varied (home visiting, childcare, child welfare, early intervention). Results indicated the majority (63%) of the sample was caring for someone else (e.g., child or elderly person) while working at home, 46% of the sample had depression symptoms (18% in the moderate-severe range), and 75% of the sample had anxiety symptoms (33% in the moderate-severe range). Higher COVID stress was associated with higher internalizing symptoms and burnout levels and this relationship was mediated by self-care behaviors such that the more COVID stress one reported, the fewer self-care behaviors they engaged in, and the higher the risk for internalizing and burnout. Finally, the pathway from COVID stress to self-care behaviors was moderated by RSC. IECMH professionals who received less than 1 year (or no experience) of RSC showed a significant decrease in self-care behaviors during times of low, average and high levels of COVID stress compared to those who received 1 year or more of RSC. Implications for both policy and practice will be discussed.
