本研究主要探討客家媳婦在家庭生活中的角色經驗，以及客家媳婦在傳統家庭文化與現代社會價值之間的調適歷程。訪談對象包含客家族群背景的女性，以及非客家族群嫁入客家家庭的女性，希望透過不同背景媳婦的生活經驗，了解其在家庭互動、文化適應與角色認知上的差異。研究透過半結構式的深度訪談探討以下三個研究問題： 一、 客家媳婦如何理解「客家文化」在家庭生活中的意義？她們在日常生活中透過哪些具體行動（如語言使用、節慶參與、飲食製作等）展現其文化實踐以及延續客家文化的方式？ 二、 當客家媳婦面對傳統家庭倫理規範與現代性別觀念之間的衝突時，她們如何在家庭互動與權力關係中進行調適或協商策略？ 三、 在文化實踐與家庭互動過程中，客家媳婦如何展現其行動能動性，並重新詮釋文化傳承的方式與意義並促成文化的再造與創新？ 訪談結果顯示，傳統客家家庭的媳婦角色期待至今仍具有一定程度的影響。無論是在家務勞動、節慶祭祀或家庭倫理方面，媳婦仍被視為家庭中的重要角色。尤其在大家庭或與公婆同住的情況下，女性往往需承擔較多家庭責任，也較容易感受到角色壓力。 不過，隨著現代社會價值與女性自主意識提升，年輕一代的受訪者開始重新思考家庭角色與性別分工，並希望透過溝通與協調方式，在家庭責任與個人生活之間取得平衡。不同族群背景媳婦在文化適應經驗上也呈現差異，非客家背景媳婦較容易感受到文化差異與角色調適壓力。 整體來看，現代客家媳婦角色已逐漸由傳統、服從走向協商與調整，更甚有部分改革、創新了既有的文化，客家家庭文化在不同世代與家庭互動中持續產生轉變。;This study mainly explores the role experiences of Hakka daughters-in-law in family life， as well as their adaptation processes between traditional family culture and modern social values. The interviewees include women of Hakka background and non-Hakka women married into Hakka families. By examining the life experiences of daughters-in-law from diverse backgrounds， this study aims to understand their differences in family interaction， cultural adaptation， and role perception. Utilizing in-depth interviews， this study addresses the following research questions: How do Hakka daughters-in-law perceive the significance of "Hakka culture" in family life? Through what specific actions in daily life (such as language use， festival participation， and food preparation) do they demonstrate their cultural practices and ways of sustaining Hakka culture? When faced with conflicts between traditional family ethics and modern gender concepts， how do Hakka daughters-in-law employ adaptation or negotiation strategies within family interactions and power relations? In the process of cultural practice and family interaction， how do Hakka daughters-in-law manifest their agency， reinterpretation of the methods and meanings of cultural inheritance， and thereby facilitate cultural reproduction and innovation? The interview results indicate that the role expectations of daughters-in-law in traditional Hakka families still exert a certain degree of influence today. Whether in domestic labor， festival rituals， or family ethics， the daughter-in-law is still regarded as a crucial figure in the household. Particularly in extended families or when cohabiting with parents-in-law， women often have to shoulder greater family responsibilities and are more likely to experience role stress. However， with the rise of modern social values and women′s self-awareness， some respondents have begun to rethink family roles and gender division of labor， seeking to achieve a balance between family responsibilities and personal life through communication and coordination. The cultural adaptation experiences also vary among daughters-in-law from different ethnic backgrounds， with non-Hakka daughters-in-law being more susceptible to cultural differences and role adaptation pressures. Overall， the role of modern Hakka daughters-in-law has gradually shifted from traditional compliance to negotiation and adjustment， and Hakka family culture continues to transform through different generations and family interactions.
