認同確定性與心理健康間的關係：寬恕的調節效果
Identity Firmness and Mental Health: the Moderating Effect of Forgiveness
摘要
過去研究顯示，認同確定性可以穩定地預測個體的心理健康；然而並未有研究針對個體經驗到人際傷害後，其認同確定性與心理健康間的關係進行討論。對此本研究假設，當個體經驗到人際傷害後，其在自我認同確定性低落的情況下應會伴隨較差的心理健康；而此時個體若能主動選擇寬恕對方，應當可以有助於提升個體的心理健康。故本研究的主要目的在於探討認同確定性、寬恕與心理健康間的關係，並進一步檢驗寬恕在認同確定性與心理健康間的調節效果。本研究採用問卷調查法，參與者為192位心理系學生。在認同確定性的測量上，採用認同確定性量表的個人認同與關係認同分量表；在寬恕的測量上是採用恩萊寬恕量表；在心理健康的測量上則是採用心理憂鬱量表與安適幸福感量表。本研究首先以相關分析檢視變項間的關聯性，並進一步以多元迴歸分析檢驗寬恕在認同確定性與心理健康間的調節效果。相關分析的結果顯示，認同確定性與寬恕皆與心理憂鬱量表呈現顯著的負相關，亦與安適幸福感呈現顯著的正相關。而在調節效果的檢驗中發現，認知寬恕與行為寬恕可以調節關係認同確定性與心理憂鬱與安適幸福感之間的關係；行為寬恕可以調節個人認同確定性與憂鬱之間的關係，故本研究的結果支持寬恕在認同確定性與心理健康之間扮演著關鍵的角色。本研究的發現可以提供諮商輔導人員協助個體處理人際傷害時介入之參考。

Previous research had shown that identity firmness can stably predict mental health. However, few studies discussed the relationship between identity firmness and mental health after interpersonal injury. The main purpose of the present study is to examine whether forgiveness can moderate the relationship between identity firmness and mental health.We hypothesized that interpersonal injury will lower identity firmness which leads to poor mental health, and forgiveness may buffer the negative influence of low identity firmness to mental health. Participants were 192 college and graduate students. They completed the personal and relational aspects of identity firmness, Enright Forgiveness Inventory, Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale(CES-D) and Peace of Mind Scale(PoM). The results reveal that identity firmness and forgiveness were negative correlated with CES-D, identity firmness and forgiveness were positive correlated with PoM. In addition, the results of multiple regression showed that cognitive and behaviral forgiveness moderate the relationship between relational aspect of identity firmness and CES-D and PoM. In addition, behaviral forgiveness moderates the relationship between personalaspect of identity firmness and CES-D.The present study demonstrated that forgiveness plays a crucial role in the relationship between identity firmness and mental health. The application of the moderating effects of forgiveness was discussed.
