本研究旨在探討青少年正向思考與正向情緒之關係,採調查研究法,研究樣本為台灣本島地區公立國中的1459名學生,研究工具為「青少年正向思考量表」與「青少年之正向情緒量表」。「青少年正向思考量表」包括「認為正向事件是永久的」、「認為負向事件是短暫的」、「認為正向事件是普遍的」、「認為負向事件是特殊的」、「認為正向事件是內在的」、「認為負向事件是外在的」六個分量表;「青少年之正向情緒量表」包括「愉悅」、「心流」兩個分量表。本研究運用的分析方法包括描述統計、單因子多變量變異數分析、典型相關,研究發現:一、主觀家庭氣氛愈和諧、人際關係愈好者,其正向思考、正向情緒的得分越高,惟正向思考「認為負向事件是外在的」例外。二、正向思考與正向情緒有顯著的典型相關,愈「認為正向事件是永久的」、「認為負向事件是短暫的」、「認為負向事件是特殊的」、「認為正向事件是內在的」,正向情緒的「愉悅」、「心流」愈高,而愈「認為負向事件是短暫的」、「認為負向事件是特殊的」,正向情緒的「心流」愈高。
This study aims to investigate the relationship between the positive thinking and positive emotion of Taiwan adolescents. The participants of this study are 1459 public junior high school students. The instruments for this study include Positive Thinking Scale and Positive Emotion Scale. Positive Thinking Scale consists of six subscales: Permanent Good, Temporariness Bad, Pervasiveness Good, Specificity Bad, Internality Good, and Externality Bad. Positive Emotion Scale consists of two subscales: Pleasures and Flow. The statistical methods used in this study include descriptive statistics, one-way MANOVA, and canonical correlation. Major findings are as follows: 1. Subjects with more harmonious family atmosphere and better interpersonal relationship generally get significantly higher scores on the subscales of Positive Thinking and Positive Emotion. The exception is Externality Bad. 2. There are significant canonical correlations between Positive Thinking and Positive Emotion.
