國中生性別、年級、父母教育程度、批判思考與情緒智力之關係

The Relationships between Gender, Grade, Parental Educational Degree, Critical Thinking and Emotional Intelligence of Junior High School Students

本研究的目的在探討國中生三個人口變項、批判思考與情緒智力之關係，並提出若干建議，以作為教學及進一步研究的參考。本研究以台南市與高雄市之國中生547人為研究對象，所採用的工具包括「中小學批判思考技巧測驗」、「批判思考意向量表」、「兒童情緒思維自陳量表」。研究發現：（一）國中生情緒智力之發展屬中上程度；（二）女生的「自我情緒智力」與「人際情緒智力」均顯著優於男生；㈢不同年級學生的情緒智力無顯著差異；㈣父母親具較高教育程度的學生，其情緒智力亦較高；㈤批判思考技巧與意向可以有效預測情緒智力高、中、低的組別；反之，情緒智力也可以有效預測批判思考技巧與意向高、中、低的組別，但均以預測中間組的正確率最高。

The main purposes of this study were to explore the relationships between three demographic variables, critical thinking and emotional intelligence (EI) of junior high school students as well as to propose suggestions for teaching and further research. 547 junior high school students from Tainan and Kaohsiung City participated in this study.
