中年者獨處時間、孤獨動機與心理幸福感之關係研究

本研究目的在探討中年人的獨處時間、孤獨動機與心理幸福感之間的關係。以便利取樣方式，共得186位介於40～59歲間之中年者填寫問卷，剔除無效問卷後，有效問卷共計144份，有效樣本回收率為77%。本研究主要測驗工具包含「獨處時間量表」、「孤獨動機量表」以及「心理幸福感量表」。經統計分析後研究結果如下：一、本研究中年者樣本自覺獨處時間的平均數屬中下程度；二、中年者樣本獨處時間高低在心理幸福感上並無顯著差異；三、中年者樣本的「自我決定」孤獨動機與心理幸福感之間具有顯著正相關；四、中年者「非自我決定」孤獨動機與心理幸福感之間具有顯著負相關；五、中年者「自我決定」孤獨動機對其獨處時間與心理幸福感之間不具顯著強化效果；六、中年者「非自我決定」孤獨動機對其獨處時間與心理幸福感之間的關係具有顯著弱化效果。本研究依據上述研究結果提出討論，並對心理健康相關之專業人員提出以下建議：一、鼓勵中年者認識個人孤獨動機與心理幸福感的關係；二、協助中年者覺察個人獨處的需要；三、策略性運用「自我決定」孤獨動機作為增進中年者的心理幸福感；四、策略性運用「非自我決定」孤獨動機調節中年者負向心理幸福感。
