| 總結: | With global advancements in gender equality and open-minded influence, Chinese women now have more opportunities to pursue higher education or independent work. However, there is a question of whether Chinese traditional family value still impacts Chinese women’s lives, thus affecting women's individual well-being.
Based on the results of a questionnaire survey and regression analysis of 301 highly educated Chinese women, we find that the endorsement of traditional family values by these women can indirectly affect their individual well-being through their engagement in job and family; that is, their achievements and satisfactions of job, family and self will be impacted by their engagement in job and family. Therein, the spousal support of highly educated women also has a positive impact on their well-being, especially on their family achievement and satisfaction. In addition, the study supports that highly educated Chinese woman’s individual well-being is significantly improved when their annual income is triple or more than the average social wage. Therefore, it suggests that highly educated Chinese women should continue the pursuit of both a job and family, have like-minded partners, and hold independent economic conditions, which is the way to improve individual well-being. On the other hand, this research has limitations on the geographical location, the time span of the survey, the lack of objective feedback, etc. In the future, we can explore the research to observe and track the participants for a longer time, add qualitative research methods such as interviews to find out the deeper influencing factors and use methods to enhance Chinese women's individual well-being. |
