The purpose of this study is to investigate the core elements of merging into local society by reducing the prejudice. The following four factors were discussed : (1) equal group status within the situation, (2) intergroup cooperation, (3) common goals, and (4) the support of authorities, law or custom. Then subjects were recruited in the in-depth interviews. They were required do a field research during which the Taiwanese businessmen settled in Guangzhou. From the data analysis, it was discovered that the more good contact experiences Taiwanese Businesspeople have, the easier for them to reduce intergroup prejudice and leads to merge into local society easier in China. The main effected factor was not related to profit – making. Based upon the result of the thesis, if Taiwanese businesspeople lack for such good contact experiences to contact the locals, they would identify themselves as Taiwanese. The main concerns of this dissertation are as following：Would it the possible for Taiwanese to reduce their prejudice toward Chinese through intergroup contacts？And, would the intergroup contacts help Taiwanese immigrants integrate into local community？These two questions are answered. / The purpose of this study is to investigate the core elements of merging into local society by reducing the prejudice.

隨著兩岸交流日益增加，正視兩岸的未來，是刻不容緩的議題。本研究著眼於大陸台人在當地發展的社會融入程度，以認知情感層面的視角，提供關於兩岸和平發展的獨特看法。兩岸人民皆背負著過往糾葛的歷史共業，大陸台人更是必須面臨「矢志不渝或隨波逐流？」的抉擇，標示自我的身分認同，幾乎成為生存的重要條件。隨著本研究的脈絡，身分認同清楚的展現支配異鄉人的社會分類與社會比較行為之力量，而其社會融入程度也因此不言而喻。

登陸台灣人在中國大陸與台灣兩地的跨界生活，形塑了兩地的生活空間及社會網絡，本研究的問題意識在於，個人層次的接觸、互動與熟識，是否有助於個人在社會互動情境中親身認識及了解他人，減少以類屬性的刻板印象去看待外團體成員，因此可以降低族群偏見、促進移民的當地化？經過2007年及2008年兩次的田野調查，在東莞及上海地區深度訪談三十位當地台灣人之後，本研究初步發現，在接觸的第一階段，當台灣人接觸愈來愈多的大陸人之後，將消除原先的偏見，形成心理「基模」，一方面，部分受訪者表示其原先持有的偏見獲得證實，亦即台灣人對大陸人的偏見消除了，但因而產生負面態度，反之，有些受訪者破除其對大陸人的偏見，進而對大陸人抱持正面態度；到了接觸的第二階段，一旦個人的心理基模形成，其乃決定繼續接觸或阻絕接觸大陸人的關鍵；最後，來到接觸的第三階段，繼續接觸大陸人的台灣人，逐漸同情理解當地文化，反之，阻絕接觸大陸人的台灣人，始終無法融入當地人的社交網絡。 / The theory of intergroup contact maintains that the key to reduce intergroup prejudice is through contacts between the groups under optimal conditions. The main concerns of this dissertation are as following: Would it be possible for Taiwanese to reduce their prejudice toward Chinese through intergroup contacts? And, would the intergroup contacts help Taiwanese immigrants integrate into local community? Grounding on these two questions, this dissertation examines the impacts of intergroup contact between Taiwanese and Chinese through field study in Dongguan and Shanghai from 2007 to 2008. After interviewing thirty Taiwanese immigrants, my empirical research suggests that the contact process can be divided into three stages. First, at the earliest stage, by contacting more and more local residents, Taiwanese immigrants would reduce their prejudice and thus cultivate a sometimes positive and sometimes negative attitude toward Chinese. At the second stage, the attitude cultivated in earlier stage turns into the schema and then plays an important role in conditioning sequent contacts: those who have a positive attitude would open up and get along with local Chinese while those who have a negative attitude would refuse to get in touch with Chinese. At the third and final stage, those who open themselves up would have sympathetic understanding of local culture and adapt to local community gradually while those who refuse to contact Chinese would have difficulties integrating into local community.

全球化的移民浪潮湧現，各國紛紛透過放鬆移民限制吸引白領移民前往投資和長期居住，展開對擁有資金和技術的白領移民之跨國爭奪，而活躍於全球市場的台商即為其中之一。另外在台商研究之中，從經濟面向研究者眾多，但台商的跨國生活與社會形態目前仍較少有學者關注，而對於台商為經營跨國生活的身份選擇考量，相關研究仍屬有限。有鑒於此，作者乃以上海市台商為研究案例，從跨國主義的移民研究所提出的核心分析概念「跨國社會場域」出發，整理傳統移民研究中的人員遷移因素，歸納出四種流動能力的要素，並結合公民身份理論，說明台商的流動能力如何影響其在移居國的身份選擇考量。具體而言，根據作者初步調查發現，由個人能力、跨國網絡、全球觀所構成的流動能力，在穿越國家所設下的跨界障礙後，能夠持續形成跨國社會場域，而台商為了要能夠維持其所賴以為生的跨國社會場域，來加以考量是否要選擇中國大陸的成員身份或者是公民身份。如果台商的個人能力較弱、跨國網絡缺乏、經濟發展為主的全球觀，較傾向於會考慮選擇中國大陸的成員身份或者是公民身份來強化既有的跨國社會場域經營；反之則否。
