| dc.description.abstract | Li Ciao once said, “One of Hakka’s traits is to value family perspective.” This study focuses on family and aims to explore the family values of Hakka and their involvement in social network. By comparing three groups and comparing Hakka groups, this study explores the difference of Hakka’s attitude toward family and their social network under cultural context and personal background. This study uses the questionnaire of Taiwan Social Change Survey (issue five) from Academia Sinica to analyze Hakka, Taiwanese and Mainlander. This study also analyzes the influence of generation, education level of fathers, south or north region, urban-rural difference on Hakka. The results of the study are as the following. (1) The family values of Hakka and Taiwanese are very similar. They are more conventional than Mainlander. But as for the part of affection, the three groups all agree that family plays a big part. (2) Hakka don’t neglect the social network just because of valuing family. However, as for the functional clubs, Hakka and Taiwanese apparently have a negative attitude. Comparatively, Mainlander’s involvement in the clubs is more active. (3) Between the groups of Hakka, for the value of group norm, those who modernize less (born before 1971, have lower-education fathers, live in the country) are more conventional. (3) Those who were born before 1971 and have lower-education level fathers value family very much, but pay less attention to the social network with friends. Those who were born after 1971 and have higher-education level fathers value the social network with friends more, but pay less attention to family. (5) The different regions don’t influence their family perspective and attitude toward different social network. Urban-rural difference influences the doctrinal perspective. However, it doesn’t have significant influence on the attitude toward social network. In the past, Hakka were always incompatible with other groups. From the study, we conclude that Hakka nowadays are not isolated from other groups. People’s behavior and attitude are not influenced by the sense of belonging to the group, but by personal background.
