本研究旨在瞭解苗栗縣偏遠地區某國中學生憂鬱傾向與偏差行為之現況與其影響因素,以及憂鬱傾向與偏差行為之關係。過程中並研訂偏差行為之測量工具。研究方法採文獻分析法與問卷調查法,研究對象為全校7至9年級學生共152位,研究工具為「貝克憂鬱量表第二版」及「偏差行為量表」。 本研究結果可歸納為下列五項: 一、研究對象之憂鬱傾向介於正常與輕、中度憂鬱邊緣值之間,整體而言,憂鬱傾向指數為32.2﹪。 二、9年級、母親職業從商、家長管教態度屬自由放任型、在校成績比大多數同學差、同儕關係較差之國中學生,其憂鬱傾向較高。 三、8年級、家長管教態度屬自由放任型、在校成績比大多數同學差、同儕關係較差之國中學生,其較易有偏差行為。 四、偏差行為測量方式以偏差行為項目數加上教師對偏差行為給予之權重加以調整後之分數及偏差行為之次數,較為適切。 五、憂鬱傾向與偏差行為兩者呈顯著正相關。 青少年憂鬱傾向與偏差行為問題刻不容緩,建議學校、家長、政府等單位應積極面對。又應積極研擬較為適切之偏差行為測量工具,以供使用。
The purpose of this research is to study the levels and determinants of depression prone and deviant behavior among students of a junior high school located at remote Miaoli County. The relationship of depression prone and deviant behavior is further explored. The tool for measuring deviant behavior is developed by this author and depression prone is based on the Beck’s melancholia quantity sheet version 2.The total number of students in this research is 152. They are all students of grade 7 to 9 of this school. The main results are as follows: 1) Current levels of depression prone among students are categorized as normal, slight or medium. Overall speaking, 32.2% of students are showing some degree of depression prone. 2) Those students of grade 9, whose mothers are businesswomen; the parents’ attitudes toward students are permissive; with lower grades in study; and with a bad relation with his/her classmates are more likely to be depression. 3) Those students of grade 8, the parents’ attitudes toward students are permissive; those with a bad grade in study; and with a bad relation with his/her classmates are more likely with deviant behaviors. 4) To sum each deviant behavior adjusted by its weight given by teachers is a better measure for over all deviant behavior. 5) The result of this research showing that the degree of depression prone and the deviant behavior score are highly correlated. Depression prone and deviant behaviors both are serious problems of students. Schools, parents, governments are suggested to face these problems positively. More researches of this regards and to develop a most suitable measurement tool for measuring deviant behavior is rgently needed.
