摘要 Abstract
本文透過既有社會流動研究累積的見解,檢視最近一個以教育同質婚配的跨時與跨國分析用於衡量社會開放性的學術辯論。由於辯論雙方在方法論上均存在若干問題,本研究質疑他們對教育同質婚配分析的效度。其中較有疑義之議題包括雙方在教育分類上並不一致,也不相容;教育類別歸屬上的偏誤,以及跨時分析在研究設計上不夠適切。本研究分析台灣從1976年至1997年婚配同質性的趨勢,分析的結果進一步挑戰上述雙方的研究發現,同時也對教育同質婚配的變遷研究提供新的洞察視角。資料分析的結果顯示,教育同質婚配模型的各個參數間,存在著非同步性的變異。而且,在教育同質婚配模型中,內在關聯參數的變化呈現一條平滑、細長的U字曲線,意味著地位封閉之論點獲得資料的支持,而不是相關研究所認為的-呈現一個倒U字曲線;一個線性趨勢;或是一個不變模式的各種變化形態。

This paper examines a recent critical exchange over cross-national and temporal analysis of educational homogamy to interpret societal openness, drawing on cumulative insights from mobility research. The validity of the findings from both sides of the exchange is questioned on methodological grounds. Issues raised include the use of inconsistent and incompatible classification categories, aggregation bias, and inadequate temporal design. A trend analysis of assortative mating in Taiwan from 1976 to 1997 further challenges the studies’ findings and offers new insights into temporal changes in educational homogamy. The results show significant non-synchronous changes in various components of the educational homogamy parameters. Furthermore, the trend for the intrinsic association parameter has an elongated U-shaped form, indicating support for the status closure argument, rather than an inverted U-curve pattern, a linear trend, or invariance, as has been suggested.
