Marital Quality and Interlocking Nature of Race, Gender and Class: a Case of I-lan County

Listed in Harvard Dataverse

As a result from socioeconomic transformation from family mode of organization toward non-family mode of organization, contemporary Taiwanese families have shifted toward an increase in nuclear family, women’s labor force participation and emphasis on personal fulfillment as well as emotional satisfaction.

Description

Responding to newly emergence of family phenomenon, some sociologists start to draw their attention to issues on conjugal relationship such as marital power, division of housework, and gender ideology.

However, research on marital quality that importantly reflects and affects the well-being of family members and next generation, is still limited and lacks consideration of diversity and inequality across, race, class, and gender. By using I-lan (宜蘭地區) with two major racial/ethnic groups of Han (漢族) and Atayal (泰雅族) as a laboratory, this study will investigate marital quality by the perspective on the interlocking nature of race, class and gender.

Two goals are contained in the present study. First, the differences in marital quality between contemporary Atayal and Han families will be investigated. According to JWEB model, the conceptualization of marital quality can be characterized by a five-indicator model.

This model highlights two dimensions of marital quality: marital harmony (encompassing marital togetherness and marital satisfaction) and marital discord (namely marital instability, marital disagreement, and marital conflict). Second, to compared with the perspective on exchange theory, the model of intersectionality of race, class, and gender will be proposed to explain marital quality for Han (漢族) and Atayal (泰雅族) within distinctively socioeconomic and cultural context.
