本研究旨在探討不同背景變項大學生之家庭親子界限與其生涯自我效能間的關係。採用問卷調查的方式，以全國十三所公、私立學校大一到大四學生為研究對象，共計625名，並以「個人基本資料調查表」、「生涯決策自我效能量表」及「家庭親子界限量表」編製成「大學生生涯決策與家庭關係問卷」為本研究工具。調查所得資料以描述性統計、變異數分析、皮爾森積差相關、多元逐步迴歸等統計方法進行處理。研究之主要發現如下： 一、不同性別、年級、生涯發展定向情形之大學生的家庭親子界限有所差異。 二、不同年級、科系、修課狀況（是否雙主修或輔系）、打工經驗、生涯發展定向情形之大學生的生涯自我效能有所差異。再者，不同科系的大學生其生涯自我效能會因為打工經驗的不同而有差異。 三、背景變項與家庭親子界限對於大學生之生涯自我效能具有預測效果 （一）就全體大學生而言，「父子（女）自我認同」是大學男生生涯自我效能最主要的預測變項；「母子（女）自我認同」是大學女生生涯自我效能最主要的預測變項。本研究發現，家庭親子界限變項中同性父母對於孩子的認同是大學生生涯自我效能最主要的預測變項；另外，背景變項中生涯發展定向情形對大學生生涯自我效能最具有預測效果。 （二）不同生涯發展定向的大學生來看，不同背景變項與不同家庭親子界限對其生涯自我效能有不同預測效果。 （三）家庭親子界限對於大學男生之生涯自我效能的預測力大於大學女生。 根據本研究的發現及討論，研究者擬對大學生、父母、學校及輔導人員等相關人員和未來研究者，提出數點建議，以供參考。 / The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between the career self-efficacy and family parental boundaries perceived by college students. Six hundred and twenty-five college students completed the Career Decision-making Self Efficacy Scale（CDMSE）developed by Hong-Hui Xie and Parental Relation-Self Boundary Scales. Data obtained was analyzed by deviation, percentage, ANOVA, post Scheffe’s test, Pearson product-moment correlation, and multiple regression. The major findings were summarized as follows: First, college students with different gender, grade, and career decision status or identity development made significant differences on their perceptions of family parental boundaries. Second, there were significant differences in CDMSE among different background variables, including grade, departments, dual-major or minor, part-time job experience, and career decision status or identity development. Third, the self-identity of parents is the best predictor of college students’ career self-efficacy, especially with the same gender as the parent. Fourth, because of the difference of college students’ career decision status or identity development, the prediction of family parental boundaries to the career self-efficacy would be different. Fifth, family parental boundaries had better predictive effect to male students than to female students. According to the conclusions of the main findings, several suggestions are provided for college students, parents, related educators and counselors in the Universities, and future research.

On the other hand, it is usual to have some parent-children problems in families. Therefore, in order to assist to the problem-solving that most families would encounter, this research proposes an on-line system to recommend answers to users in appropriate time. The system would combine the mechanism of FAQ, which offer the general basic answer, and the function of recommender system to allow the personalized answers further. The proposed system is different from other recommender systems because we take the whole family as a unit, not just the looking-for-help parent or child. In addition, we would collect feedbacks provided by users who have applied the system answers. It is hoped to improve the user’s satisfactions, solve their family problems.

隨著ontology應用及語意網的普及，可以預見將有越來越多的應用系統以ontology做為異質系統間之資料交換格式。若現行的分散式監控系統，也能夠以ontology做為程式外部的溝通及資料描述介面，那不同的監控系統彼此要交換資料就會更容易。此外，系統本身若也採用ontology做為與外部溝通的語言，則系統在面對裝置異動或邏輯修改時，將能更快速的反應需求也能更有彈性的面對異動。本研究的目標，便是想要從監控系統中分離出程式應用邏輯及設備描述邏輯，改以ontology的描述方式來取代，進而建立一套以ontology為核心的監控系統，並藉由ontology的導入來改善現行監控系統修改不易及彈性不大的缺點。 為了驗證上面的論述，我們設計了一套以ontology為組態描述的webpanel系統。製造商可以用符合ontology的語法來描述設備的規格，系統整合商也能透過ontology設計監控系統的應用邏輯，結合兩者的ontology描述，便能讓webpanel系統執行監控程序。透過我們的實驗證明，以ontology做為監控系統的應用邏輯描述是可行的。在建構監控系統的過程中，系統整合商能很快的藉由應用系統描述檔完成監控系統的描述，同時webpanel在面對設備故障發生時，也能迅速的透過ontology的搜尋，找到此區域中可用的設備來替代。 對系統整合商來說，建置另一套全新的監控系統只需依據新環境的狀況，適度的調整應用系統描述檔，便可以開始進行監控系統安裝及測試，比起傳統每換一個環境就需要重新撰寫程式的作法會快上許多。另外，藉由ontology描述的特性，可以讓設計的經驗完整的保存下來，供重複使用，對於人才流動快速的企業來說，也可以有效的降低訓練人力及開發系統的時間。 我們希望能夠藉由設計webpanel過程中獲得的相關經驗來簡化傳統監控系統的設計流程及維護時間，將ontology的優點導入相對封閉的監控領域中，讓其更易與其他領域相結合，為人類生活帶來更大的便利。 / As ontology becomes more common and more popular, we are expecting to see an increase in its usage among heterogeneous applications with a need of information exchange. If current distributed monitoring system can utilize ontology as an external communication platform, it will be much easier for different monitoring systems to share and exchange information. In addition, if the systems are able to use ontology as its external communication language, it will be more flexible and faster for the system to make necessary logical changes. The purpose of the research is to differentiate application logic and description logic out of a monitoring system, replace them with ontology, and eventually make it the core of the monitoring system. This could overcome the drawbacks of the current monitoring systems such as lack of flexibility. In order to justify the objective, we designed a system called webpanel . Manufacturers can use languages that are compatible to ontology to describe the equipment’s specification. System integrators can also use ontology to design system application logic. With these two types of information, we can allow the webpanel to conduct process monitoring. Through our research we found that using ontology to monitor application logic is a good way to construct a flexible surveillance system. During the construction period, system integrators can finish the monitoring description promptly based on the system description. When an equipment failure is encountered, though the search capability of ontology, the system can automatically look for replacement equipment within the area. From a system integrator’s perspective, rebuilding a brand new monitoring system only depends on some factors in the new environment. With a few minor changes in the system description file, we can deploy a monitoring system shortly. It is highly flexible compared to the traditional way where a new environment will need a new set of programs with customized application logic. Ontology allows us to preserve reusable design experience. Companies that are facing huge turn-over rates can really benefit from it by reducing the cost of training and system development. We are not the first one to use ontology but we hope that through the design of webpanel, we can acquire experiences to help simplify design in traditional monitoring system and maintenance time. We hope by introducing ontology into the conservative monitoring industry, it can help connect with other industries and bring greater convenience to people’s life.

本研究從長時間來觀察台灣香菸稅捐的累退程度變化，並且同時觀察台灣吸菸家庭具備何種特徵，以作為政府相關單位在制定租稅及菸害防制等政策的一個參考。利用行政主計處之「家庭收支調查報告」、台灣省菸酒公賣局之「臺灣地區菸酒事業統計年報」及學者研究等資料來進行累退性衡量，發現自1979年開始至2007年，我國香菸稅累退程度呈現加劇的情形，而各吸菸家庭則呈現出菸草消費支出金額愈高者戶長及家庭成員平均年齡愈低、教育程度較低、以及女性戶長比例下降等特徵。 由此結果可看出我國香菸稅累退程度並未減輕，低所得家庭反而較高所得家庭負擔為重，此外菸草消費支出較高的家庭由於平均教育程度較低，普遍缺乏吸菸會造成健康危害的風險認知，因此衛生醫療主管當局應加強菸害防制教育以利提升國民健康。 / This study observes the regressivity changes of cigarette taxation in Taiwan for long run and the features of smoking families in Taiwan to offer the government and relevant organization a reference in making taxation and tobacco hazards prevention policies. This study uses “Report on the Survey of Family Income and Expenditure in Taiwan Area of Republic of China” from 1979 to 2007, “Taiwan Tobacco and Wine Statistical Yearbook” and other scholars’ contribution to measure the regressivity of cigarette taxation. The results shows the regressivity of cigarette taxation in Taiwan is more and more severe from 1979 to 2007, and the smoking families which have higher tobacco expenditure shows the features of lower average age, lower education level, and lower percentage of female household head. This study concludes that the regressivity of cigarette taxation is more amd more severe, so the tax burden of lower income families is much serious than higher income families, and because of lower education level, the families with higher tobacco expenditure are popularly lack of risk perception which smoking hazards health. Therefore health and medical executive should reinforce tobacco prevention education to promote national health.

本研究嘗試以1988年6月24日至2008年6月24日之間，家庭暴力防治法通過前後十年，《聯合報》與《中國時報》的親密伴侶暴力新聞為研究樣本，經分層抽樣後共取1,010則新聞，以內容分析法檢視兩報呈現親密伴侶暴力新聞的方式，並觀察此類新聞報導有何特性，而家庭暴力防治法通過前後，親密伴侶暴力新聞的報導方式有何轉變？ 　　本研究以責任歸咎方式、消息來源、親密伴侶暴力迷思、主要議題、「社會關注」指標與「廣義親密伴侶暴力」指標檢視1,010則親密伴侶暴力報導，並依新聞分布特性分為「議題醞釀期」、「法案倡議與通過期」、「法案實施初期」以及「法案實施三年後」四個時期。 本研究發現親密伴侶暴力報導主題面向上以「暴力事件與個案」為主，不同時期中的主題分布達統顯著差異，「法案倡議與通過期」及「法案實行初期」為四時期中「防暴落實過程」比例較高者，而「防暴執行阻礙／困境」在四時期的比例均在一成以下。個案導向的新聞報導於社會關注面向上以「立法規範與庇護／援助」、「當事者外的援助與介入」與「議題專家作為消息來源」上有明顯進步；但四個時期皆有90%以上的新聞未提到「施暴者終止暴力的方式」。 在親密伴侶暴力的歸因方式上，「個人框架」以「暴力事件與個案」為議題主軸。「體制框架」的議題較平均的分配在「防暴落實過程」、「相關政策／法令」以及「防暴執行阻礙／困境」。「文化／社會結構框架」超過五成的主題為「防暴落實過程」。「整合框架」中排名第一亦為「防暴落實過程」，其次是「相關政策／法令」。 　　媒體文本中呈現迷思為「責備受害者」，「加害者脫罪」，「美滿家庭價值」與「霧裡看花」。「議題醞釀期」僅近四成未提及迷思，而「法案倡議與推動期」有超過六成五的新聞未提及任何迷思，表現最佳。「責備受害者」在各時期皆為比例最高的迷思。 「未提及迷思」的消息來源以「專家與倡議團體」佔最多數，其次為「官方消息來源（政策層面）」。其他四種迷思「責備受害者」、「加害者脫罪」、「美滿家庭價值」與「清官難斷家務事」中，「官方消息來源（執法層面）」皆為最主要消息來源。不同框架間的迷思分布達統計上的顯著差異。「體制框架」、「文化／社會結構框架」與「整合框架」皆超過九成未提及任何迷思。「個人框架」中有超過四成的迷思為「責備受害者」，其次為「加害者脫罪」。 　　消息來源方面，隨著時間的變化而有所不同，且達顯著差異。「議題醞釀期」前三名消息來源依序為：「官方消息來源（執法層面）」、「受暴者」與「專家與倡議團體」。而「法案實施三年後」排名第一轉為「受暴者」，其次為「官方消息來源（執法層面）」與「專家與倡議團體」。「法案倡議與通過期」及「法案實行初期」裡「專家與倡議團體」消息來源引用較其他二時期明顯提升。四個時期的「當事者人際網絡」比例均極低。 　　「個人框架」前兩大消息來源為「官方消息來源（執法層面）」與「受暴者」。「體制框架」中以「專家與倡議團體」（45.5%）排名第一。「文化／社會結構框架」中有超過五成的消息來源為「專家與倡議團體」，其次是「官方消息來源（政策層面）」，「其他與純粹記者描述」排名第三。「整合框架」中排名與「文化／社會結構框架」相同，且比例分佈亦類似。 基於上述結果，本研究嘗試對對媒體實務工作者與社政專業提出建議：在媒體報導上須延展報導的廣度與深度，與社政團體配合定期製作專題報導，引用暴力倖存者的現身說法，輔以專家或倡議團體的評論或意見以供參酌，以達到引發讀者興趣與教育知識兼具的成效。在報導暴力事件時，避免擷取與事件本身無關的敘述，並與社會新聞路線之外的其他記者整合，搭配相關議題進行報導。社福團體在近用媒體時可尋求另類發聲管道，並成立專業小組，及時回應媒體需求。並與媒體保持合作關係，定期提供其專業領域的各項資訊，適時提出澄清，掌握議題的定義與解釋權。

「部分工時工作」被視為是平衡婦女工作-家庭的策略之一。我國政府亦有意透過提倡部分工時工作來提升女性勞動參與率。在此一政策思維下，需更進一步探討，影響我國婦女選擇部分工時工作的因素為何？再者，部分工時工作是否能夠真正「促進」婦女就業？抑或是形成婦女就業的「陷阱」？ Hakim的偏好理論認為，現今婦女已經可以依據個人的自由意願選擇工作；且選擇從事部分工時工作的婦女，其偏好扮演家中照顧者的角色，對工作並無投入的熱忱。本研究發現，Hakim所稱的“home-centered”婦女，依據其所擁有的社會環境資源不同，會影響其執行個人偏好的能力，而使其工作-家庭傾向呈現異質性。且“home-centered”婦女大多並不認同傳統的家務角色，性別分工通常是在環境限制因素與父權體制下所形成。 我國現有的部分工時工作，大多缺乏工時彈性與勞動條件的平等待遇。在婦女教育程度普遍提升下，低就業品質的部分工時工作，不但無法滿足我國婦女的工作需求，亦可能使婦女落入低度就業的情形。政府應移除部分工時制度中的性別觀念，尊重勞工「個人」的工作與家庭需求，避免在性別迷思中，使部分工時工作成為女性就業的「陷阱」。 / “Part-time Job” has been seen as a solution for women to find a balance between their work and family. Government also wants to increase the labor participant rate of women by promoting them with part-time jobs. However, we need to figure out that what factors cause women to choose part-time job, and does part-time job really “improve” women’s employment or becomes an employment “trap” for them? Hakim’s “Preference Theory” refers that women could choose their works as their wills nowadays, and who choose part-time jobs prefer to play the role of “home” and lack of passion for work. This research finds out that women who Hakim called “home-centered” have heterogeneity with their work-home orientations. The ability to execute one’s preference depends on one’s possession of social resources, and “home-centered” do not identify themselves with the traditional “home role” for women. The gender division usually formed under the limitation in society and patriarchy. Most part of part-time jobs in Taiwan are inflexible in working hours and unequal labor standards. With the trend that women with higher education, the low employment quality of part-time jobs could not fulfill their expectations for work or they would get into underemployment situation. Government should remove the gender concept in promoting part-time work and consider the “personal” work-family needs to avoid part-time job becoming an employment trap for women under the myth of gender.

本文運用行政院主計總處「台灣地區家庭收支調查報告」的家戶資料作為樣本，分析從1979年至2012年間台灣地區的總體景氣波動對於家庭酒品消費支出是否有顯著的影響，並探討當總體景氣指標處於繁榮期和衰退期，對於家庭酒品的消費支出影響是否不一致。 本文使用複迴歸模型進行實證，分析總體景氣波動與家庭酒品消費呈現正循環或逆循環關係，以及總體景氣波動繁榮期和衰退期間對家庭酒品消費支出的影響程度是否存在不對稱。主要結論為：總體景氣波動對於全體家庭及低所得家庭的酒品消費支出不顯著，而對於高所得家庭的酒品消費支出呈現顯著正循環。同時，高所得家庭在景氣繁榮期與衰退期有顯著的不對稱性，亦即當景氣繁榮時，高所得家庭的酒品消費支出增加幅度較景氣衰退減少的幅度明顯。

本文主要研究臺灣購買公益彩券長期之變化以及購買公益彩券家庭的特性，並探討各縣市購買公益彩券的概況。運用行政院主計總處2002年至2010年「臺灣地區家庭收支調查報告」的家庭所得及支出等資料，將購買公益彩券與所得之間做連結。首先，將全體家庭依可支配所得高低排序分組，發現購買公益彩券支出與可支配所得呈現正相關，然而從長期的角度觀察，各組購買公益彩券支出有逐年下降的趨勢；其次，以每戶家庭每一成年人平均購買公益彩券支出為排序分組，發現購買公益彩券支出愈多的家庭，其戶長以男性為主、年紀較輕、教育程度較高，且以從事第三級產業的比率較高；綜觀長期資料，戶長年齡及教育程度呈現逐年增加的趨勢，而戶長為女性的比率有逐漸攀升的情形。 觀察各組購買公益彩券家庭成員特性，以男性所占比率較高，但長期來看，各組女性比率有逐年上升的趨勢；就年齡而言，在2002年至2007年呈現的情況是購買公益彩券支出與年齡呈現反向關係，而在2008年至2010年則是呈現U字型關係。此外，在觀察各縣市購買公益彩券之概況時，發現可支配所得是影響購買公益彩券的重要因素之一。 / This study uses “Report on the Survey of Family Income and Expenditure in Taiwan Area of Republic of China” to explore the changes of lottery-buying in Taiwan for long run, and the characteristics of lottery-buying households in Taiwan. The results show as following： First of all, the expenditure of the lottery correlates positively with the income of the whole family, and the lottery-buying expenditure have the decayed trend. Secondly, the lottery-buying families which have higher lottery-buying expenditure show the characteristics of lower average age, higher education level, and male householder. In long term, it shows the features of higher average age, higher education level, and higher percentage of female householder. Thirdly, this study observes the features of lottery-buying family members, the results show a higher percentage of men, but in the long run, the ratio of women is an increasing trend. In terms of age, the expenditures of purchasing lottery go higher, but the average age go down in 2002-2007, while in 2008-2010 it’s a U-shaped relationship. In addition, exploring the lottery-buying Cities and Counties in Taiwan, this study finds that income is one of the important factors to affect purchasing lottery.

2010年蘋果推出iPad後，台灣也跟著掀起平板熱潮，並快速普及到中高年齡層使用者。平板現在已經是中年家庭主婦重要的家戶休閒之一。本研究結合休閒領域和性別傳播科技領域探討中年家庭主婦的休閒，分析形成婦女「休閒阻礙」（Leisure constraint）的原因，並觀察平板融入主婦的生活後主婦休閒體驗的變化、平板使用複製過去女性用資通科技進行休閒的特性與限制。 本研究結合使用者日誌與深度訪談探索中年家庭主婦的平板休閒經驗。結果顯示本地中年家庭主婦認為的休閒包含心理閒暇感受，外出活動，社交等，這也反映在她們對於平板休閒的感知。與過往休閒研究歸納的女性休閒特性相似，本地中年主婦的休閒特性包含休閒時間碎片化，習慣多工等，反映她們的休閒受到阻礙。而與其他生命週期的女性不同，步入空巢期的中年主婦因為照顧子女的責任減輕，使她們開始積極追求休閒，休閒意識提高。中年主婦也因為擁有多年家務經驗，使她們發展出抵抗休閒阻礙的策略，獲得更多的休閒機會。 中年主婦的平板使用時機融入她們的生活韻律，因為平板的體積與未連網之故，主婦一旦外出，反而少攜帶；平板之為行動載具的行動性(mobility)未見發揮，平板成為居家休閒的重要裝置。獨自在家時主婦用平板看劇、玩遊戲，主婦也會在此時一邊看電視，一邊用平板，採取「雙螢」休閒模式，極大化休閒體驗。家人同在的晚間家庭時光，主婦平板不離身，陪伴家人、履行情感勞動，透過平板上的社交媒體同步與自己友人聊天，或看喜歡的劇集，沉浸在自己的虛擬空間。 平板為主婦過去透過其他科技物中介的休閒帶來新的意義。然而雖然平板使主婦擺脫不擅電子遊戲的刻板印象、也因平板而掌有觀影權，鬆動過去丈夫主導的家庭觀影秩序，本研究發現母職腳本形成主婦的平板休閒阻礙分別顯現在平板擁有權、使用平板瀏覽資訊、平板的社群通訊軟體使用上。中年家庭主婦休閒受到「妻職」影響，即便主婦用平板休閒受到丈夫中斷，她們也將其視為理所當然，因為經過與丈夫多年的相處磨合，中年婦女大多都能接受與容忍配偶的行為。 / After Apple introduced the iPad in 2010, the tablet quickly earned many middle–aged users' attention in Taiwan. Nowadays, the tablet has become one of the most important household leisure devices for middle-aged housewives. This study adopts diary study and in-depth interviews to explore how the tablet has been integrated into middle–aged housewives' lives. Additionally, it examines what kinds of leisure constraints housewives confront when they use a tablet. This study explores the leisure of Taiwanese middle-aged housewives. The result shows that Taiwanese middle-aged housewives have varied definitions of leisure which include relaxed mental state, outdoor activities and social activities. Those definitions reflect on housewives' feeling about tablet use. What’s more, a number of leisure researchers have indicated fragmented leisure time and multitasking characterize women's leisure. Taiwanese middle-aged housewives' leisure shows similar characteristics. However, Taiwanese middle-aged housewives feel a sense of entitlement with regards to leisure since they no longer have the responsibility of care-taking as their younger peers still carry. Besides, middle-aged housewives have developed strategies to resist and transform leisure constraints imposed on them along the way. The timing of tablet use of middle-aged housewives is closely related to their lifestyle. The finding suggests that the mobility of a tablet is limited. Tablets are heavy and lack network access, which is why housewives reserve their use for domestic leisure. Housewives who are alone at home usually use a tablet to play games or watch dramas. They also watch TV and use the tablet at the same time. Using this “double screen” model, housewives can broaden their leisure experience. During family hours in the evening, housewives bring their tablets to the living room so that they not only show their emotional support to be there with their family but also enjoy their personal tablet at the same time. The nature of leisure and the related images which housewives obtained in the past by using other technology have undergone great transformations. For example, instead of non-gamers or incapable gamers, housewives have proven themselves to be the ones who also enjoy game play. Moreover, the tablet has become housewives' “second screen” with which they can watch any program they like instead of being forced to watch the programs chosen by their husbands. However, the findings suggest the scripted motherhood affects housewives' tablet use, and it reflects on their tablet’s ownership, their use of social media and the web-browsing. The scripted wife- hood also affects housewives' leisure. For instance, their husbands often interrupt their tablet use, but housewives see interruptions as the way things have always been.
