Learning Objective #1: Study the relationship between native-Taiwanese female sexuality and gender relations in tribal groups, to understand the cultural impact on living in this college

Learning Objective #2: Understand native-Taiwanese' sexual behavior, de-stigmatize their sexual behavior, and achieve gender equality

Currently, approximately two thousand female native-Taiwanese students are enrolled in this college. Teachers found that there is a tendency in these students to change boyfriends rapidly and to get pregnant. It has been reported that native-Taiwanese's sexual attitude is actually more conservative than that of Han-Taiwanese's, although the former tend to have their sexual experience in the earlier age than do the latter. Many researchers have pointed out that native-Taiwanese's social boundary toward sexual behavior is actually more conservative that Han-Taiwanese's. Unfortunately, their sexual conservatism has been greatly weakened due to the negative impact of Han-culture and their immigration to urban areas. Although native-Taiwanese's sexual problems have been constantly at issues, current research has been mostly focussed on female prostitution, marriage problems, or stereotypical interpretation of native-Taiwanese's sexual behavior from the viewpoints of Han-culture. Thus, it is essential to further study the roles of female native-Taiwanese in their tribal groups to better understand their female sexual behavior. The purposes of this study are, in the spirit of women studies, to investigate the relationship between native-Taiwanese female sexuality and gender relations in their tribal groups, in an attempt to understand the cultural impact on living in this college. The subjects of this research are the native-Taiwanese students of this college. quantitative questionnaires will be used to gather data regarding their sexual behavior, tribal structures, and gender relations. The result of this study will provide needed information to understand native-Taiwanese's sexual behavior, to de-stigmatize their sexual behavior, and to achieve gender equality
