在婚同妻的婚姻生活经历:一项解释现象学分析

The Life Experience of Gay's Wife in Marriage:An Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis

在婚同妻的婚姻生活经历中透视着许多社会人类学的文化密码。通过对8名27岁到35岁同妻的多次深入访谈,了解其3到12年的婚姻生活过程。使用解释现象学分析(IPA)的方法整理和分析半结构访谈记录,有助于挖掘被访同妻自身对于所处生活世界的理解,获得一种"内部的视角"。这种研究方法沿袭了现象学和符号互动论的传统,有助于理解人们对于自身生活经历的意义。借助IPA分析,在婚同妻婚姻生活中的四个主题呈现出来:不可置信的感受,我只是一个工具,不愿或不能离婚,寻找生活的意义。研究结论认为,同妻婚姻生活过程中存在着"他者"文化的冲击、情感资源和经济资源缺乏的现象,孩子是同妻维持婚姻关系的最主要因素。在应对同妻身份的过程中,在婚同妻通过反思和重构生活意义,不断保持生活的延续性和完整性。
