本研究根據自我價值理論,考驗二種自我保護策略在失敗期望及任務無關行為上之差異,並在高成就回饋後考驗其與外在歸因、自我調適及偏差行為之關係,以及高/低因果不確定組別模型之等同性比較。研究對象以614名護專學生為受試者,經自編「因果不確定性量表」、「防禦性悲觀量表」、「自我跛足策略量表」、「認知及歸因取向量表」、「學習適應量表」及「偏差行為檢核表」等量表施測,透過結構方程模式與多重樣本分析後,研究結果顯示:1.本研究所建立的研究模式具有可接受的適配度,可解釋護專學生的觀察資料。2.高/低因果不確定組別模型之二種自我保護策略對認知及歸因取向存在效果差異,外在歸因在學習歷程中的功能性亦不同。本研究並根據研究結果進行討論及提出建議。
The purpose of this study was to examine the difference of defensive reflectivity and acquired handicap on failure expectation, task-irrelevant behavior, and external attribution according to self-worth theory. Furthermore, this study attempted to build a path model of self-protective strategies, cognitive attribution orientation, and external/internal behaviors on high achievement feedback. Data were collected from 614 students and analyzed by structural equation modeling and simultaneous analysis of several groups. The results of this study were as follows: (1) The research model fitted the observed data well. (2) For high/low causal uncertainty groups, defensive reflectivity and acquired handicap had different effects on cognitive attribution orientation and the function of external attribution on self-adjustment. Implications for theory, practice and research are discussed.
