本研究架構是建構在「分配合理觀點」的視角上，主要目的是為分析來自「配偶的感謝」在「家務分工」對「家務公平感受」的影響中，所具有中介效果為何，以及性別在此間所帶來的影響。本研究主要是採用「台灣社會變遷基本調查（Taiwan Social Change Survey）第六期第二次家庭組問卷」中的資料來對相關變項進行分析。在研究對象的選取方面，限制婚姻狀況為「已婚有偶」者為研究對象再進行後續的統計分析，故本研究最後有效分析樣本為1250份。 本研究的主要發現：(1)男性的家務參與是正向影響家務公平感受；但女性的家務參與是負向影響家務公平感受。(2)女性參與家務的影響，有部分會因來自「配偶的感謝」而減少對家務的負面公平感受；但男性的家務參與不會透過配偶的感謝而有影響。

The purpose of this study is based on distributive justice approach to understand the relations among division of housework, sense of housework fairness, and feelings of appreciation from spouses. The research data are mainly sourced from the 6th issue of "Taiwan Social Change Survey" that was collected during 2011 and 2012. The subjects of this study are restricted to the currently married. A total number of 1250 people are selected in this study. The findings are: (1) Men’s housework participations positively affect their sense of housework fairness, whereas women’s housework participations negatively affect their sense of housework fairness. (2) The feelings of appreciations from spouses have mediating effects on the relationship between women’s division of housework and housework fairness. However, the effects of men’s housework participation on the sense of housework fairness do not have the same mediating effects.
