本研究旨在探討病態人格特質與關係攻擊行為的相關。此外,特別著重病態人格特質與關係攻擊行為的特定類型,如攻擊行為之功能。本研究以分佈於台灣北、中、南的大學生為研究對象,採用問卷調查法,收取相關有效資料共339份。以描述性分析、t檢定、相關分析、及階層回歸分析等方法,進行資料分析與假設驗證。研究發現不同的病態人格特質確實與特定的關係攻擊行為相關。在控制社會期許及肢體攻擊對關係攻擊的影響後,本研究結果驗證兩個假設,呈現:(一)初級病態人格特質與主動式關係攻擊有正相關;(二)次級病態人格特質與反應式關係攻擊有正相關。因此本研究結果發現,台灣大學生的病態人格特質與關係攻擊行為間,確實有特定的預測關係。
The present research studies the relationship between psychopathic personality traits and relational aggression while considering their distinct subtypes, forms and functions. The sample is 339 undergraduate students between the ages of 18 and 23, distributed across the north, middle, and south of Taiwan. Four valid and reliable questionnaires were used and results were analyzed with methods of descriptive analysis, t test, correlation analysis, and stepwise regression analysis. Research findings support that there are indeed distinct relationships between psychopathic personality subtypes and relational aggression subtypes. Moreover, after controlling for social desirability and the overlapping of physical aggression and relational aggression, the present study confirmed two of the four research hypotheses. Presenting that (1) primary psychopathic personality traits correlate positively with proactive relational aggression, and (2) secondary psychopathic personality traits correlate positively with reactive relational aggression. Therefore the present findings show that there are unique predictive relationships between psychopathic personality traits and relational aggression among undergraduate students in Taiwan.
