[摘要]
本論文嘗試與Nancy Chodorow之母職複製的理論對話。我使用質化的深度訪談法,針對13
位未婚、且高學歷的女性進行訪談,主要目的在了解現代女性對母職的看法、造成其看法
的建構因素、以及她們因應自己母職觀的行動策略。同時,我也訪談兩位已有母職經驗、
且接觸婦女∕運團體的受訪者作為對照。
研究結果發現,現代未婚女性母職觀最大的特色,在於傳統與轉變之間的矛盾情結。她們
普遍不願意過如同媽媽一般的生活,卻害怕自己有一天也會如此,她們想要轉變,卻仍被
某些傳統價值觀束縛著,矛盾的情結
,處處可見。至於矛盾情結之建構因素,傳統的部分來自於媽媽的影響;轉變的部分,則
是來自周圍環境的刺激:包括學校、大眾傳播媒介、同儕團體與社會變遷等因素共同交織
而成。這樣的情結同樣影響著現代未婚女性在面對自己生涯規劃時的行動策略。此外,我
亦發現原生家庭對現代未婚女性面對母職的方式有所影響。
在對照組中,我以故事述說的方式,呈現她們經歷婚變並接觸婦女∕運團體後之母職觀轉
變過程,並藉由對照組的生命經驗,與現代未婚女性作對照,以提供讀者更廣泛的思考空
間。
「母職」是社會建構的結果,但也具有鬆動的空間。現代女性的母職觀不僅源自母親,也
深受周圍環境的影響,這樣的母女關係,有可能突破Chodorow所說的母職複製。這些高學
歷的未婚女性,雖然仍在某些觀點上順應父權價值,卻也擁有突破其限制的潛力。

[摘要]
This research attempts to explore unmarried young women's views on motherhood.
Data were collected from 15 in-depth interviews including 13 between the age
of twenty-three and thirty, and the other two aged forty-eight and fifty-nine,
respectively. The most notable finding is that these women's views/ ideas are
caught in a bind of modern and traditional ideas. In addition, the contrast
group's (the two older interviewees) experiences indicate the impact of poor
quality marriage and as a result of participation in women's (social movement)
organization. In all, I want to use this study as s starting point to question
the validity of Nancy Chodorow's classic “The Reproduction of Mothering:
Psychoanalysis and Sociology of Gender, ” (1978). By taking into account of
the broader social changes (as are appearing in education, family, media,
among others), this thesis testifies that, at least in Taiwan, women now are
learning from many sources as how to being a mother.
