    本文主要研究目的在分析臺灣社會裡,不同社會階層的人與社會網絡互動情形為何,以及人際網絡所給予的協助支持行為之差異。個人在社會當中,所擁有的人際網絡關係,不外乎親屬與朋友網絡,而個體與這些網絡成員的互動行為以及網絡成員所提供的社會支持,是否會因個人階層差異而有不同,則是本研究關心的重點。

    本研究利用「台灣社會變遷基本調查計劃」四期二次的研究問卷I 這份調查資料進行分析。研究假設一:高社會階層的人比起低階層的人而言,與朋友聯繫強度較高,與兄弟姊妹跟親戚的聯繫強度較弱,而朋友提供的支持行為就較多,兄弟姊妹與親戚給予的社會支持行為則較少。二、低社會階層的人比高階層的人,與朋友、兄弟姊妹、親戚的聯繫強度都較高,相對地,朋友、兄弟姊妹、親戚所給予的支持行為皆較多。三、與網絡聯繫強度愈高的人,網絡成員所能提供的支持行為也較多。

    研究結果發現,現今台灣社會裡,高階層的人與網絡的互動模式是較疏離的,相反的,低階層的人與網絡之間,呈現出較密切的狀態。但是,即便如此,網絡所提供的社會支持,並不會因為階層不同而有太大差異,反而受到網絡之聯繫強度的影響較大。這意謂著在社會中各階層者,均不可避免地需要來自他人的支持與協助。同時,當個人向親戚、朋友等網絡成員尋求協助時,網絡成員也多會提供幫忙,彼此空間距離上的隔閡,也不會影響網絡成員提供支持。換句話說,個人與網絡之間的聯繫強度高低與否,才是影響網絡互動、給予支持行為的重要關鍵。

    The purpose of this study is to analyze how people in different social class position interact with their social network, and if social support from their social network vary in a different way. The social network that one has included relatives and friends, hence the research concerns that what kind of support the social network provides, and if people would get different help depend on their class position.

    The data of this study is based on “Taiwan Social Change Survey (TSCS)”data that were collected in 2001. The hypotheses are: first, the higher class position people contact with their friends more frequently than the lower ones did; the higher class position contact with relatives much less than the lower class people. Besides, the social support from their friends are much than their relatives give. Second, people with lower class position have stronger strength of ties with friends and relatives, and get much support from the social network. Third, People have stronger ties with their social network, they can get much support.

    The results show that people with higher class position are much alienated with their personal network than the lower class position. Even though, the social support people get from their social network aren't causing any difference by people's class position. That means everyone in different class position needs support from others. Meanwhile, when people have stronger ties with their networks, they will receive much help and support.
