親子依附、監督與青少年非行間雙向關條之探究

An Investigation on Bi-Directional Relationships between Delinquency and Parental Attachment and Supervision

傳統研究中所使用的單方向之解釋模型無法適當地描繪親子關係與青少年非行間動態關係之本質。因此，奠基於Thornberry互動理論之主張，本研究探討青少年非行與親子關係兩個中心面向－親子依附、親子監督之雙向關係，以補文獻之不足。研究資料來自於一個仍在進行中的縱貫性調查研究（NLSY97），參與的受訪者來自全美各地具代表性之樣本。研究結果顯示，青少年非行分別與親子依附、親子監督之間形成一個雙向關係。大致而言，本研究結果顯示以雙向模型來解釋親子關係與青少年非行間動態關係之重要性。本研究結果說明，在討論親子關係及青少年非行之關係時，父母的影響及孩子的影響應同時予以考慮。

Uni-directional models in family-delinquency research are not able to properly capture the dynamic nature of relationships between delinquency and parenting. With hypotheses derived from interactional theory, this study examines the reciprocal relationships between delinquent involvement and two central dimensions of parenting, namely parental attachment and parental supervision. Using panel data from a nationally representative sample (NLSY97), it is found that delinquency is reciprocally related to parental attachment and parental supervision as well. In general, the results further establish the importance and plausibility of using bi-directional models in explaining delinquency and parenting. The results demonstrate that in the relationships between parenting practices and delinquency, child effects and parent effects are both in operation.
