本研究主要在探討中部地區國小高年級學童其自我概念與家務參與間的關聯,並以逐步多元迴歸分析法來探討學童之家務參與對自我概念的預測力。研究對象以彰化縣、台中縣市、雲林縣及南投縣國小五、六年級的學生為研究對象,樣本採便利取樣,有效樣本為804名。本研究結果發現:(1)中部地區國小高年級學童自我概念和家務參與之現況良好;(2)不同性別之國小學童,除能力自我是女高於男之外,其它層面自我概念及整體自我概念無顯著差異;但其家務參與有顯著差異,且女高於男;(3)父母社經地位不同之國小學童,其自我概念和家務參與均有顯著差異,且高社經地位較中、低社經地位好;(4)家務參與不同之國小學童,其各層面及整體自我概念皆有顯著差異,且高家務參與比中、低家務參與好;(5)國小學童的自我概念與家務參與間具有顯著正相關;(6)國小學童的家務參與對其自我概念具有相當的預測力。最後,根據本研究之結果發現,提出建議以提供父母、家庭教育單位及未來研究之參考。
