本研究主要的目的在探討青少年知覺的家庭功能、親子衝突、因應策略與生活適應之間的徑路關係,以及不同性別在親子衝突、因應策略上的差異情形。 本研究採問卷調查法進行資料蒐集,使用之工具為「父子衝突量表」、「母子衝突量表」、「父子衝突因應策略量表」、「母子衝突因應策略量表」、「修訂家庭功能評量表」、「修訂學生在校行為問卷」。研究對象為台北市弘道國中、五常國中、桃源國中、景美國中、台北縣頭前國中、板橋國中、蘆洲國中、自強國中等八所國中之一、二、三年級學生,合計共為638名青少年。所得結果以單因子多變項變異數分析、多元逐步迴歸分析等統計方法來進行資料分析。 本研究之重要發現如下: 一、 不同性別之青少年在父子衝突與母子衝突上有顯著差異。 二、 不同性別之青少年在親子衝突因應策略上的差異情形: 就整體父子衝突因應策略、母子衝突因應策略而言,男女生之間 並無顯著差異。 三、 家庭功能對親子衝突之直接影響: 家庭功能能夠預測父子/母子衝突的程度,且家庭功能愈高,父子 /母子間的衝突愈低。 四、 親子衝突程度對親子衝突因應策略之直接影響: 父子/母子衝突的程度可以預測青少年在面對父子/母子衝突時所採用的因應策略。 五、 家庭功能對青少年生活適應之直接影響: 不論在父子衝突或母子衝突方面,研究結果均顯示,家庭功能對青少年生活適應有正向的直接影響。 六、 親子衝突程度對生活適應之直接影響: 不論在父子衝突或母子衝突方面,研究結果均顯示,親子衝突程度對青少年生活適應有負向的直接影響。 七、 親子衝突因應策略對青少年生活適應之直接影響: 父子衝突因應策略與母子衝突因應策略對青少年生活適應有直接 的影響。 八、 家庭功能對生活適應之間接影響: 在父子衝突與母子衝突部分皆顯示:家庭功能可藉由影響父子/母子衝突而間接影響青少年生活適應;也可藉由影響父子/母子衝突與父子/母子衝突因應策略,而間接影響青少年生活適應。 九、 在父子衝突和母子衝突方面都顯示,親子衝突對生活適應的直接影響較家庭功能對生活適應的直接影響大。 十、 家庭功能對生活適應之主要影響徑路: (一) 在父子衝突方面,家庭功能對生活適應中有關勤學適應、常規適應與師生關係的主要影響徑路是:「家庭功能透過影響父子衝突而間接影響生活適應」。 (二) 在母子衝突方面,家庭功能對生活適應各因素的主要影響徑路是:「家庭功能透過影響母子衝突與母子衝突因應策略,進而間接影響生活適應」。 本研究並根據研究結果,對青少年、父母、學校教育單位與後續研究者提出相關建議。
The main purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships among family function, parent-adolescent conflict, coping strategies, and life adjustment. In addition, this study explored the gender differences on parent-adolescent conflict and coping strategies. The subjects were 638 students drawn from 8 junior high schools in Taipei. The instruments used in the study included revised Family Assessment Device, Father-Adolescent Conflict Scale, Father-Adolescent Conflict Coping Strategies Scale, Mother-Adolescent Conflict Scale, Mother-Adolescent Conflict Coping Strategies Scale, revised Behaviors-In-School Inventory. The data were statistically analyzed by One-way MANOVA and multiple-stepwise regression. The Major findings were as follows: Ⅰ.There were significant gender differences on father-adolescent conflict and mother-adolescent conflict. Ⅱ. There were no significant gender differences on father-adolescent conflict coping strategies and mother-adolescent conflict coping strategies. Ⅲ. Parent-adolescent conflict could be significantly predicted by family function. Specifically, adolescents who perceived higher family function would perceive lower father-adolescent conflict and mother-adolescent conflict. Ⅳ.Coping strategies could be significantly predicted by both father-adolescent conflict and mother-adolescent conflict . Ⅴ.Life adjustment could be predicted significantly by family function. Specifically, adolescents who perceived higher family function would perceive better life adjustment. Ⅵ.Life adjustment could be predicted significantly by parent-adolescent conflict. Specifically, adolescents who perceived lower parent-adolescent conflict would perceive better life adjustment. Ⅶ.Life adjustment could be predicted significantly by parent-adolescent conflict coping strategies. Ⅷ. There was an indirect effect of family function on life adjustment mediated by parent-adolescent conflict. In addition, there was an indirect effect of family function on life adjustment mediated by parent-adolescent conflict and parent-adolescent conflict coping strategies. Based on above findings, this study provided some suggestions for adolescents, parents of adolescence, school administration, and future research.
