• 源自日本漫畫的「天龍人」和衍伸出來的「天龍國」，是這幾年台灣的流行用語。大家因為覺得住在首善之都的台北人有優越感，大家喜歡給這些人貼上「天龍人」的標籤。

而本研究的提問是：台北人真的有優越感嗎？有的話是為什麼？

以「主觀社會地位」為指標，使用台灣社會變遷基本調查2007 年度的資料進行分析，本研究得到以下結果：(1)跟住在其他地區的人比起來，台北人的確有比較高的主觀社會地位(2)雖然教育程度、收入和職業這些個人特質對主觀社會地位扮演重要的角色，但無法完全解釋台北人較高的主觀社會地位(3)語言資本是解釋台北人較高主觀社會地位的重要因素。由於比較好的國語和英語流利程度，尤其是英語，台北人會有較高的主觀社會地位

• In recent years, the phrase “TIAN-LONG people" and "TIAN-LONG country" borrowed from Japanese comics became popular in Taiwan. People use "TIAN-LONG people" to label Taipei residents because they think living in Taipei, as the core area of the political and economic power, makes people feel superior to others. This study intended to find out: Are Taipei people really feel superior? and Why?

Analyzing the measure of subjective social status (SSS) from "Social Change Survey in Taiwan 2007",this study yields a few findings. (1) Overall, compared with those who live in other areas, Taipei residents have significantly higher self-reported social status score. (2) Though individual characteristics (education, income, occupation) play a role in SSS, they cannot completely account for the Taipei advantage in SSS. (3) Linguistic capital is crucial accounting for the Taipei advantage in SSS. With better Mandarin and English proficiency, especially English, Taipei people generally had a higher level of subjective social status.
