本文摘要由於身分認同與省籍背景為台灣政治之主要分歧，本文探討人們是否因配偶省籍背景的異同而對其身分認同造成影響？哪些人的身分認同較容易受到其配偶省籍背景的影響？回答這些問題得以對成人期之社會化經驗與影響做一初步的評估。本文合併 TEDS歷年全國性調查資料來評估婚姻與配偶省籍對於受訪者身分認同的可能影響，主要研究發現有：（一）受訪者之原生家庭的省籍背景影響其身分認同與其配偶省籍背景；（二）受訪者較可能與同樣省籍背景者結婚；（三）受訪者的身分認同受到其配偶省籍的影響；（四）女性的身分認同較可能受到配偶省籍背景的影響，但是高學歷女性有其獨立性，較不受到配偶省籍的影響；（五）較高教育程度的男性之身分認同較有可能受到配偶省籍背景的影響。

AbstractGiven that ethnicity and identity are the principal factors of political cleavage in Taiwan, this article explores the following questions: Whether individuals’ Taiwanese/Chinese identities are influenced by their spouses’ ethnic background? If so, whose identities are more likely to be shaped by the intensive interactions between husbands and wives in a marriage? Answers to these questions are helpful to researchers who are interested in assessing the effect of political socialization experiences during adulthood. This article analyzes pooled survey data from Taiwan’s Election and Democratization Study and the main findings are: (1) Ethnic background affects the respondents’ self-identities. (2) Respondents tend to marry within their ethnic group. (3) Respondents’ self-identities are influenced by their spouses’ ethnic background. (4) Although females’ self-identities are generally affected by their spouses’ ethnicity, the best-educated females’ self-identities are less likely to be changed after getting married. (5) The best-educated males’ self-identities are more likely to be shifted after getting married than their female counterparts.
