不同文化的親子關係預設,會影響到親子目標衝突時,個人的認知、情緒,及動機的判斷。本論文以青少年親子生涯抉擇目標衝突,拒絕或者接受父親要求的情境故事研究為例:說明台灣與荷蘭,兩種不同文化的親子關係內涵對上述各個向度的影響。研究中收集288位台灣與荷蘭大學生參與者的意見,研究一結果發現:當父親對孩子的要求是社會取向價值的前提之下,行動者拒絕父親要求時,荷蘭與台灣參與者認為行動者的自我價值觀,主要是個我取向價值;當行動者接受父親要求時,荷蘭參與者認為行動者的自我價值主要是與父親相同的社會取向價值,而台灣參與者則認為行動者的自我價值觀是與父親不同的個我取向價值。研究二進一步比較,決策後參與者實際的態度與感受,結果發現:兩個文化相較之下,荷蘭參與者傾向拒絕父親要求,台灣參與者傾向接受父親要求。研究結果顯示:荷蘭的親子關係,強調個人的獨立以及親子間的協調與共識,重視個人的權利;台灣華人則是以維護親子關係的關係取向,主要考量的是親子關係的角色義務。唯有檢視自我與他人(父親)之間的關係,才能有效的解決親子間的目標衝突的困境。
The present study examined the culture influence on children’s perception on parent-adolescent goal conflict situations. 154 Taiwanese and 134 Dutch undergraduates participated in this study. After reading a scenario of parent-adolescent conflict, participants completed questionnaires assessing their value orientations and attitude after decision. In conditions when the protagonist refused father’s suggestion, participants from both group perceived more self-oriented values. However, in conditions when father’s suggestion was accepted, Dutch participants perceived more social-oriented values. On the contrary, Taiwanese participants perceived more self-oriented values. Results show that Taiwanese participants attend more to father-adolescent relationship and tend to accept father’s suggestion, whereas their Dutch counterparts attend more mutual consensus and self-interests. These results suggest that culture-beliefs about parent and adolescent relationship may influence how its people face and resolve goal conflicts between adolescent and their fathers.
