目標:本研究目的在瞭解台北市國中生之暴力行為分布及溝通技巧運用現況,並探討溝通技巧與暴力行為關係。方法:研究資料取自1999年台北市國中生危害健康行為調查,共1477個有效樣本。結果:(1)曾有暴力行為的頻率由高到低依序是講髒話、頂撞、生氣時摔東西、打架、破壞公物、性侵害、欺負及勒索;(2)從各類溝通技巧向度來看,經常使用聽的技巧的頻率介於46.7%~73.9%之間,經常使用說的技巧的頻率介於21.5%~77.2之間,經常使用內容結構技巧的頻率介於32.2%~63.7%之間;(3)背景因素中年級、性別、內控傾向、對暴力行為的態度、家人及朋友從事暴力行為的頻率、朋友關係及家人關係,與國中生暴力行為的發生頻率有顯著關係;(4)在控制了前述因素之後,溝通技巧對暴力行為的發生頻率呈現顯著的負相關;(5)在前傾因素中,女生、學業成就高、內控傾向程度高、自我肯定程度高、對暴力行為的態度傾向不贊同、父親教育程度高及父母婚姻狀況愈和諧者,並溝通技巧運用頻率會愈高。結論:溝通技巧在控制其他影響因素之後,對暴力行為有顯著的的預測力,所以建議相關單位研擬暴力行為的預防介入計畫時,可強化溝通技巧的訓練。
