本研究是以一百一十一名國校三年級兒童及其母親為對象,主要目的在於了解母親育兒方式與兒童攻擊行為間之關係。研究結果顯示,母親在家中應用之懲罰愈加嚴厲,體罰次數愈多,兒童之攻擊行為表現愈加強烈。家庭情境中激發兒童攻擊行為之因素,以母親之拒絕態度,對於兒童之行為予以消極評價,不顧兒童自尊,羞辱兒童等最為重要。至於母親本身之攻擊傾向,兒童之性別角色表同,罪感表同等因素與兒童攻擊行為表現之間並無顯着之關係。在親子交往之間,母親之專權控制態度,民主態度,及敵視與衝突態度,對於兒童攻擊行為之影響亦不大。母親之育兒方式對於女童攻擊行為表現之影響較大,對於男童之影響較小。低社經水準家庭兒童攻擊行為表現,較高社經水準兒童為多。
One hundred and eleven children, 50 boys and 61 girls, form three third grade classes were rated for aggressive behavior by their classmates. Concurrently, the mothers of all subjects were interviewed individually to obtain information about their child rearing attitudes and practices. Relations between child rearing variables and aggressive scores of subjects were evaluated by correlation with the following results: 1. With increased maternal punishment for aggression at home, there is increased aggressive behavior of children both in school and at home. 2. Maternal rejection seems to be an important factor of instigation at home to heighten the aggressive behavior of children both in school and at home. Maternal shame on children is another instigative factor. However, the relation is held only for girls' aggressive score at home. No significant correlations and are found between maternal restrictivenlss, lack of nurturance parental disharmony and agressive behavior of children. 3. Mother's own aggressive behavior is not signifcantly related to the child's aggressive behavior in school or at home as well as the child's sex-role identification. Besides, the child's internalization of parental standards seems not to be an important inhibitive factor to suppress the aggressive behavior of children. 4. Children of higher socio-economic status show less aggressive behavior than children of lower socio-economic status. 5. Maternal child rearing attitudes and practices have much more effects on the aggressive behavior of girls than that of boys. 6. Maternal authoritarian attitude toward children has nothing to do with their children's aggressive behavior. However, mothers with democratic attitude have less aggressive girls in school, but same relationship is not held for boys. Mothers who show more marital conflicts and refuse their home making roles have more aggressive children athome. 7. There is a high negative correlation between the child's aggressive score and hissocial status in the class.
