出走於婚姻的意識∼未婚自助旅行女性之自主性與婚姻態度關係之探討

女性的自助旅行在現代社會已蔚為風潮，然而，傳統對於女性總有著性別的刻板印象，因此要參與自助旅行這類活動，通常會面臨到來自於傳統社會下所產生的阻礙與限制。過去有研究指出，女性可從自助旅行中展現自由、獨立、自信、以及自主性，並會影響到日後的生活態度與觀念。自助旅行是充滿自由選擇、自主性的活動;同時，也是需要擁有大量個人休閒時間的活動，這勢必與婚姻所帶來的家庭負荷增加、個人休閒時間減少有所衝突。

本研究採用質性研究方法，於95年1月至3月期間，以深度訪談方式訪問10位愛好自助旅行、年齡介於25-35歲的未婚女性，再採以解釋性互動論的分析法（interpretative analysis），將對話本身當作「研究問題」予以分析，並且重新加以呈現。

研究顯示：

1.女性自助旅行者的自主性與自助旅行活動是相互影響與加乘的，自我的自主性讓她們選擇去自助旅行;也讓旅行者在生活中展現出更大的自信、自主性。

2.喜好自助旅行的女性，對於未來的婚姻，希望能夠維持現在的生活方式，並在婚後能夠繼續自助旅行。但對家庭，仍願意做部分的犧牲以盡妻母的職責。

Due to the change of society, more and more women get used to traveling in an independent way. Studies show that traveling independently is one way for travelers to meet their changing need. Independent travel offers greater fellings of freedom and self-determination that can not be experienced in everyday life.

Acccording to Feminists, independent travel helps to develop confidence feelings and increase the sense of self-determination, and contributes to help women to resist the traditional gender stereotype.

Thus, the purpose of the study is to addressed the following questions:Do these group of women, who go through independent travel, change their thoughts through the travel experiences? How does autonomy or self-determination work in their life during and after travel? Is the sense of autonomy related to their decision of the choice in their marriage?

In the scope of the study, it is to interview in detail 10 women, aged 25 to 35 ,unmarried and that do independent travel constantly,in oder to learn from their experiences, feelings , values during and after travel. It will also be attempted to investgate the effects in their lifes and attitude toward marriage.
