摘要

目的：探討臺北都會區原住民青少年生活滿意度之相關因素。方法：本研究使用一項長期追蹤調查的其中一波資料，進行橫斷性研究。針對第一波研究之原住民青少年樣本(N=318)，進行面對面問卷訪視調查，共訪得234位樣本。結果：樣本的前五大生活困擾依序為學業問題(50.9%)、經濟問題(40.6%)、感情或心理問題(26.9%)、健康問題(15.8%)，以及家庭不和問題(15.4%)。整體而言，有79.5%的樣本自評健康狀況良好，有66.2%的樣本對目前生活感到滿意，有53.4%的樣本學業成績不佳，然而也有76.9%的樣本感覺壓力。依據多變項邏輯式迴歸分析的結果顯示，沒有經濟困擾者(OR=2.08, 95% CI=1.06-4.08)，以及願意在公開場合承認原住民身份者(OR=2.73, 95%CI=1.37-5.43)比他們的對照組更傾向於對目前生活感到滿意，且達顯著水準。結論：經濟因素以及承認原住民身份之意願，是樣本生活滿意度的顯著預測因子。

Background and Purpose: To investigate the correlates of life satisfaction among aboriginal adolescents in northern Taiwan. Methods: This study was a panel design follow-up survey. In total, 234 aboriginal adolescent participants from a preliminary survey (N=318) were recruited into this follow-up survey. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews, using structured questionnaires. Results: Findings indicated five leading causes of subjects' daily life distress: poor academic performance (50.9%), economic difficulties (40.6%), relationships and/or emotional problems (26.9%), health problems (15.8%), and poor family communication (15.4%). Overall, 79.5% of the subjects perceived their health status as being good, and 66.2% were satisfied with their lives. Roughly 53.4% showed poor academic performance, yet 76.9% felt stressed about this. According to the multiple logistic regression analyses, subjects without economic problems (OR=2.08, 95% CI=1.06-4.08) and those willing to publicly reveal themselves as being aboriginal (OR=2.73, 95% CI=1.37-5.43) were more likely to be satisfied with their current lives than their counterparts. Conclusion: Economic factors and a willingness to reveal oneself as an aborigine were two of the strongest predictors for subjects' life satisfaction.
