本文主要目是在建構單親家庭家長心理幸福感之模型,探討單親家庭家長本身的自我信念對其心理幸福感之影響關係,以及進一步比較原住民與非原住民心理幸福感模型之差異。本文資料是截取自「屏東縣單親家庭生活現況與幸福感之研究」中幾個重要變項-心理幸福感、自我信念、族群,並運用結構方程模式(structural equation modelling, SEM)進行模型建構。研究結果發現,研究樣本的自我信念正向顯著的影響心理幸福感(標準化係數為0.85)。另外,原住民與非原住民其心理幸福感模型之間存在著一些差異,包括原住民自我信念中樂觀的人生觀程度高於非原住民,但面對問題的勇氣之程度低於非原住民;原住民的心理幸福感中的環境駕馭感受高於非原住民,但所感受到的正向人際關係程度低於非原住民;原住民自我信念對心理幸福感的影響程度低於非原住民。
This article describes the construction of a model of the psychological wellbeing model of the parents in single-parent families in Taiwan. It also reports the results of a study of the relationship between the self-belief and psychological well-being of single parents. It also describes the differences between the psychological well-being model of aboriginal and that of the non-aboriginal single parents. The data of this article is from the ”Study on the Present Life Situations and Well-being of the Single-parent Families in Pingtung”. However, only three important variables-psychological well-being, self-belief and ethnic groups-are analyzed and used in a structural equation model (SEM) to test their proportional effect on single parent well-being. The findings are as follows. Self-belief positively influence psychological well-being. What is more, there exist various differences between the psychological well-being model of the aboriginal and that of the non-aboriginal Taiwanese single parent. For example, in the variable of ”self-belief”, the opinions of the aboriginal toward life are more optimistic than those of the non-aboriginal. However, when encountering problems, the aboriginal single parent has less courage than the non-aboriginal single parent. In the variable, ”psychological well-being”, the aboriginal single parent has more feelings of control toward their environment than the non-aboriginal single parent. However, the aboriginal single parent has less positive feelings toward relationship with others than the non-aboriginal single parent. What is more, the aboriginal parent's self-belief has less influence on their psychological wellbeing than the non-aboriginal parent.
