目的:了解遠距戀愛大學生愛情風格、關係品質與幸福感之關係,比較遠距與非遠距戀愛大學生在愛情風格、關係品質、幸福感上的差異,並探討遠距狀態、愛情風格、關係品質是否能預測幸福感。 方法:採調查法,以過去或目前有戀愛經驗的台灣大學生為研究對象。採立意取樣,利用電子問卷收集資料,總計有效樣本共314人。在目前有戀愛經驗的大學生中(N=220), 其中以主觀遠距戀愛者為觀察組(N=114), 主觀非遠距戀愛者為對照組(N=106)。測量工具包含「台灣人愛情風格量表-大學生版」、「關係適應量表」、「中國人幸福感量表-簡短版」、人口學變項及遠距離情形,包括見面頻率、相隔物理距離、心理距離等。統計方法包括描述性統計、卡方檢定、t檢定、皮爾森積差相關、雙因子變異數分析、階層迴歸分析等。本研究經中山醫學大學附設醫院人體試驗委員會審核許可。 結果:1. 遠距戀愛大學生與伴侶見面頻率為一個月一次居多(71.1%);與伴侶物理距離在400公里內居多(77.1%);遠距組與非遠距組在性別、年級、國籍、經濟狀況、過去戀愛經驗、目前交往時間長度、過去遠距戀愛經驗及交往時間長度等變項均無差異。2.遠距戀愛大學生愛情風格以「浪漫表達型」居多;遠距組與非遠距組在愛情風格、關係品質無差異;遠距組在幸福感分數顯著低於非遠距組。3. 戀愛中大學生之愛情風格、關係品質與幸福感具顯著相關。4.大學生目前有無伴侶、是否有過遠距經驗及不同愛情風格與幸福感無關。5.大學生是否為遠距戀愛或不同心理距離、不同愛情風格與關係品質無關。6. 大學生是否為遠距戀愛或不同心理距離、不同愛情風格與幸福感無關。7. 戀愛中大學生的主觀遠距、心理距離、關係品質可預測幸福感分數。8. 「心理距離」、「擔憂佔有型」、「真情投入型」、「主觀遠距」可預測幸福感,可解釋變異量達21%。 討論與建議:戀愛中大學生的幸福感與其伴侶之間的心理距離更有關,而非主觀是否遠距;「真情投入型」與「婚姻目的型」之愛情風格的大學生,重視關係的未來或維持,傾向對感情付出、承諾與相互信任,有助於關係品質及幸福感的提升。最後,本研究結果對於遠距戀愛大學生有更深入的理解,並依據研究結果提出後續研究及實務處遇上之建議。
Aims: This study investigated the relationship among love styles, relationship quality and well-being for college students with a long-distance relationship, compare the differences in love styles, relationship quality and well-being between college students with or without a long-distance relationship, and to investigate if their well-being could be predicted by their status of long-distance, love styles and relationship quality. Methods: Survey method was utilized and subjects were eligible to participate in the study if they were studied in university of Taiwan and were involved or current involving in a romantic relationship. Purposive sampling method were used with college students by completed an online questionnaire and 314 valid responses were collected. For those who are involving in a romantic relationship (N=220), given students that self-report involving with a long-distance relationship as observation group(N=114) while students that self-report involving without a long-distance relationship as controlled group(N=106). The measurement tools included Taiwanese love styles scale (college student version), Relationship Adjustment Scale, Chinese Happiness Inventory (short version), Demographic variables, and the phenomenon of long-distance relationship such as frequency of face-to-face contact with partners, separated physical distance and psychological distance. Data were analyzed using such as descriptive statistics, chi-square, t-tests, Pearson correlation, a two-way ANOVA and hierarchical regression analysis. This study was approved by the Institutional Review Board of Chung Shan Medical University Hospital. Results: 1. Most of the college students with a long-distance relationship could have face-to-face contact with their partner within 30 days (71.1%) and the separated physical distance was within 400 km (77.1%). Long-distance group and non-long-distance group showed no significant difference in gender, grade, nationality, financial status, past romantic relationship experience, current length of dating, and past long-distance relationship experience and length. 2. The love styles of college students with a long-distance relationship were tend to “Romantic and Expression style”. There was no significant difference between long-distance group and non-long-distance group in love styles and relationship quality, well-being of long-distance group were significantly scored lower than non-long-distance group. 3. There was significant correlation between love styles, relationship quality and well-being among college students who involving in a romantic relationship. 4. Whether college students were involving in a romantic relationship or being single, having or never had a long-distance relationship experience, different type of love styles showed no significant difference in well-being. 5. Whether college students were involving in a long-distance relationship or different psychological distance, different types of love styles showed no significant difference in relationship quality. 6. Whether college students were involving in a long-distance relationship or different psychological distance, different types of love styles showed no significant difference in well-being. 7. The subjectively and psychological distance, and relationship quality of college students could predict the score of well-being. 8. “Psychological distance”, “Worrisome and Possessive style”, “Sincere and Devoted style”, and “subjectively long-distance” could predict 21% of the total variation of well-being of the college students. Discussion and Suggestions: Well-being of college students that involving in a romantic relationship was significantly correlated with perceived psychological distance towards partners more than whether involving in a long-distance relationship. “Sincere and Devoted style” and “Marriage-Purposeful style” love styles of college students have the characteristics of dedication or commitment to each other, and mutual trust and understanding on the future or maintenance of the relationship, which were helpful to the relationship quality. The results offer a deep understanding of college students with a long-distance relationship and suggestions are made as references for next study and practitioners.
