本研究探討母親教養與幼兒自主行為之關聯性,試圖瞭解臺灣社會中影響母親教養與幼兒自主行為之家庭因素。研究目的在瞭解不同教養類型共同施行情形,母親教養行為、幼兒自主行為在不同家庭背景變項之差異及預測幼兒自主行為的因素。本研究的樣本為748位家有就讀臺北市幼兒園3 ~ 6歲幼兒的母親,由母親填寫教養行為量表與幼兒自主行為量表。以平均數檢驗、相關與多元迴歸等統計做 分析。研究結果顯示混合教養類型占36%,單一教養類型占37%,27%的母親無 偏向教養類型。幼兒年齡、家庭社會經濟地位對母親教養行為、幼兒自主行為具顯著影響。對幼兒自主行為具有顯著預測力由大到小,分別為教養行為、幼兒年齡、家庭月收入。本研究發現母親的專制型教養對幼兒的自我主張具有正向顯著性的預測力,未來可從社會文化面探討。最後根據研究結果提出建議。
This study examined the factors related to children's autonomy and the differences between mothers' parenting behavior and children's autonomy with different background in Taipei. The sample consisted of 748 mothers with their preschool children. The instruments adopted in the study were Parenting Behavior Questionnaire and Children's Autonomy Scale with five-point Likert scale. The data were analyzed by the descriptive, t-test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), Pearson correlation and multiple regression. Results showed that mixed parenting types were 36%, pure parenting types were 37%, no index high parenting types were 27%. Results also indicated that mothers' parenting behavior and children's autonomy were significantly different among children's ages and family socio-economic status. The results of hierarchical regression analysis with children's ages (step 1), family incomes (step 2) and mothers' parenting behavior (step 3) suggested mothers' parenting behavior predicted children's autonomy behaviors, especially authoritative parenting.
