| Popis: | 102 The primary objective of this research is to establish a model for Taiwanese Female Subjective Well-being. In addition this study also seeks to understand the influence and correlation of advantages of living conditions, perceived discrimination, and resilience towards female subjective well-being. Furthermore, additional support for the proposed model is accomplished through the examination of the various impacts on different demographical background, while mediation effect of perceived discrimination and resilience on the female subjective well-being was verified. Multi-group structural equation model was utilized to analyze the samples of local and new migrant female. This research adopted the survey method for data collection. A total of 1397 surveys were distributed to potential subjects within the Northern, Central, and Southern part of Taiwan. A total of 976 survey returns were collected, wherein 819 valid surveys were used for the data analysis. Among the valid surveys, 372 are from the new migrant females while 417 are from the local females. Results of the research are as follows: 1. There seems to be a big gap between new migrant and local females’ socio-economic status and self-sufficiency. In addition, new migrant female are at a disadvantage in all the aspects except the television ownership and location of the television in the house. 2. Within the local female background demography, socio-economic status, and self-sufficiency factors, 13 items are found to have no significant relationship with subjective well-being, while 16 items have significant relationship with subjective well-being. 3. New migrant females enjoy less advantages of living conditions, express less resilience, feel less subjective well-being and suffer high level of perceived discrimination in comparison to their local counterparts. 4. Advantages of living conditions is found to act as the mediating variable for perceived discrimination influencing the female subjective well-being, while resilience is the mediating variable for perceived discrimination. 5. Empirical data confirms the proposed model for Taiwanese Female Subjective Well-being. In addition, samples have shown to have meet the formal identify criteria for nationality (local vs new migrant), but not for the measurement weights, structural weights, structural covariance, and structural residuals. |
