摘要: | 現代社會不論男女對身體意象皆有一定程度的關注。根據國外研究發現,妻子在身體意象中的「身體各部位滿意度」,會影響婚姻關係中生理層面的性滿足,連帶影響婚姻滿意度。而國內文獻也顯示,身體意象顯著影響「婚姻五經論」中社會層面的顏面與自尊。是故,本研究旨在探討已婚男女的身體意象與婚姻滿意度之相關性,以及個人背景因素與身體意象對婚姻滿意度的解釋力。
本研究以臺灣北部地區已婚男女為研究對象,採用問卷調查法之「配額取樣」,有效樣本數為613人。研究工具包括:「個人背景因素調查表」、「中文修訂版多向度自我身體關係問卷」(MBSRQ)、「婚姻滿意度量表」,所得資料以描述性統計(次數分配、百分比、平均數、標準差)、單一樣本t檢定、獨立樣本t檢定、單因子變異數分析、雪費事後比較、皮爾森積差相關及強迫進入法多元迴歸進行分析。本研究結果如下:
一、已婚男女之「身體意象」與「婚姻滿意度」皆顯著高於理論中點,表示已婚男女之身體意象與婚姻滿意度傾向於「中上程度」
二、「BMI值」在「身體意象」上有顯著差異,BMI值正常及過重者比肥胖者在身體意象上呈現較佳的滿意度。
三、「教育程度」在「婚姻滿意度」上有顯著差異,大學(含)以上比高中職(含)以下者對婚姻擁有較佳的滿意度。
四、「個人經濟收入」在「婚姻滿意度」上有顯著差異,收入45,801元(含)以上比22,800(含)以下者,呈現較佳的婚姻滿意度。
五、已婚男女的「身體意象」和「婚姻滿意度」達顯著正相關,表示身體意象愈正向者其婚姻滿意度亦較佳。
六、已婚男女中之高學歷、身體意象滿意度較高者,其婚姻滿意度較佳;而結婚愈久者,其婚姻滿意度則較低,上述3個變項對「婚姻滿意度」有18%之解釋力。
七、已婚男性高學歷、身體意象滿意度較高者,其婚姻滿意度較佳,上述2個變項對「婚姻滿意度」有24%之解釋力。
八、已婚女性中之高學歷、身體意象滿意度較高者,其婚姻滿意度較佳;而結婚愈久者,其婚姻滿意度則較低,上述3個變項對「婚姻滿意度」有17%之解釋力。
本研究結果發現,高學歷、身體意象滿意度較高者,其婚姻滿意度較佳;而結婚愈久者,其婚姻滿意度則較低。故建議全體已婚男女宜吸收婚姻經營之多元資訊,學習夫妻間溝通之正向回應;留意結婚年數對婚姻滿意度的影響,用心經營婚姻關係;建立正向之身體意象,進而提高婚姻滿意度,擁有良好的婚姻關係。
