In Taiwanese society, a single positively sanctioned social identity for youth, termed hao hsueh-sheng, or "good student," is accessible only to those who are competent in academics and obedient to adults, mainly parents and school officials. Unlike in America, where young people choose from many different styles that legitimately express their competence as persons, Taiwanese youth who do not style themselves as good students are considered deviant, according to the official culture. In addition to the sole positively sanctioned "good student" identity, two deviant categories of person, kah-a ("new-waver") and liu-mang ("hooligan"), were found to be popular among Taipei youth.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a In Taiwanese society, a single positively sanctioned social identity for youth, termed hao hsueh-sheng, or "good student," is accessible only to those who are competent in academics and obedient to adults, mainly parents and school officials. Unlike in America, where young people choose from many different styles that legitimately express their competence as persons, Taiwanese youth who do not style themselves as good students are considered deviant, according to the official culture. In addition to the sole positively sanctioned "good student" identity, two deviant categories of person, kah-a ("new-waver") and liu-mang ("hooligan"), were found to be popular among Taipei youth.
520 $a In this research I showed that youth, through identifying with one of the categories, subscribe to an idealized image of the competent "person," and express this through their clothing styles, leisure activities, ambition, friendship, family ties, and sources of moral authority. I hypothesize that the different categories and their expressions are a reflection of broad social classes in Taiwan, and that behaviors resulting from identification with each of the categories are adapted to one of several primary pathways to success in the urban setting.
520 $a I also describe the moral communities within which youth try to achieve competence as persons. According to the official culture, only heads of households and school officials are entrusted with the moral authority to shape the careers and characters of young people. One alternative, and therefore deviant moral community studied was the local "streetcorner" gang, which attracts youth who are unable or unwilling to climb the ladder of success through education.
520 $a Another moral community is represented by the peer society, where age-mates are co-equals in a status system in which esteem is distributed according to a competition between individuals. Growing participation in this "youth culture" in Taipei is hypothesized to be linked with economic trends producing new requirements for social mobility in the urban setting. For example, employers are placing greater emphasis on the abilities and skills of job applicants as individuals, rather than on the status of the group with which the recruit is identified, or the employer's own solidarity with that group.
