過去台灣有關青少年性方面的論述,多著重在調查他們的性知識與性態度,強調青少年性問題的氾濫,藉以凸顯性教育的必要性;其中卻沒有青少年自己的聲音,也沒有討論與性息息相關的戀愛關係,因此研究者企圖藉由半結構團體諮商探索青少年的愛情世界,以作為日後設計此類團體諮商方案的依據。研究者在國中帶領國二學生的小團體諮商,參與者為對交往男女朋友感到好奇或實際交往過,自願參與之學生(男生五名女生六名),依性別分開進行各十小時的半結構小團體諮商。團體結束後研究者將團體過程之相關錄音、記錄、作品進行現象學的分析。研究發現青少年不分男女對於戀愛關係的建立與維持均感到好奇與困惑;青少年缺乏自己的語言描述自己對性的感受,青少女對愛情嚮往,在愛情關係中卻又常感委屈;團體是提供成員彼此對話、整合各種來源的兩性資訊,形成自有態度的空間。研究者並建議爾後在執行上可將此等方案調整為五到六次,每次進行兩小時的團體,以提升探討的層次並能配合學校行政上的運作;最後並針對研究結果提出其他相關建議。
In the past, research documents related to adolescent sexual behaviors emphasized knowledge of sex and attitude towards sex. The overflowing of adolescent sexual behavior problems were focused to point out the importance of sex education; however, the inner voices of adolescents were usually neglected in most sex education programs and there's no discussion of romantic relationships. This study intended to explore the intimate world of adolescent romantic relationships by leading a semi-structured counseling group in hope of producing a design as the foundation for future references. The participants were eleven fourteen-year-olds who claimed to be interested in romantic relationships or who have been in one. The volunteered participants were divided into two groups; one group of five boys and another group of six girls. Each group had ten hours of semi-structural group counseling. Phenomenological research method was used to analyze all data collected from tapes, observation notes and field notes. The results of this research indicated that when facing romantic relationships, both male and female adolescents not only feel confused about issues regarding sexual behaviors, but also lack the skills to establish and maintain good relationships with their romantic partners. It was found that the semi-structural groups employed here were helpful in assisting group participants to integrate their attitudes about romantic relationships. Based on the research results, a revised five to six sessions of two-hour group counseling model was proposed by the researchers to further assist and accommodate sex education in school.
