英文摘要

The middle-aged generation show great concern for their family, but they show rather low satisfaction with their life. In view of this and the fact that little research has focused on this group of people, this study aimed to investigate the middle-aged generation's family relationships and their life satisfaction conditions, to understand their life satisfaction conditions in terms of different family relationships, and to analyze how their different family relationships influence their life satisfaction.This research focused on the 40- to 60-years-old middle-aged generation (married, having at least one living parent and one child at any age). Personal background (gender, age, socioeconomic status) was analyzed as control variables, family relationships (problem solving, emotion expressing, information exchanging) as independent variables, and life satisfaction as a dependent variable. A questionnaire survey was conducted and 381 effective samples were collected.The results showed that the middle-aged generation generally maintained good family relationships and life satisfaction. The middle-aged adults who maintained better relationships with their family were significantly more satisfied with their life than the ones who do not. Family relationship was a significant explaining variable for the middle-aged adults' life satisfaction. However, after further analysis of the three dimensions of family relationship- ”problem solving,” ”emotion expressing,” ”information exchanging”- with the regression analysis model at the same time showed that only ”information exchanging” could best account for the significance. Considering gender and family relationship at the same time, gender did not show significant difference in life satisfaction; ”information exchanging” of family relationship was the crucial factor with greater impact. Socioeconomic status showed significant difference in life satisfaction, but its impact was still not as great as the impact of ”information exchanging” of family relationship.According to the results, the research suggested the middle-aged generation, no matter male or female, poor or rich, can learn a better way exchange information with their family members to improve their family relationships, and then their life satisfaction can thus be elevated. The enterprise welfare committees are also suggested to use welfare resource more meaningfully by inviting specialized units related to family life education to design not only leisure activities but also the ones that can promote family relationships. To apply this research to the family life education promoting program, it is advised that ”information exchanging” be put into the design of the program for promoting family relationships. Future research is suggested to focus more on the influence of work and health on the middle-aged generation's life satisfaction.
