Relationships Between College Students’ Hope, Problem-Solving, and Career Development from the Perspective of Positive Psychology

本研究旨在以正向心理學之觀點，探討大學生希望感、問題解決及生涯發展間之關係。本研究以北區公私立大學學生為研究對象，採問卷調查法，總計有效樣本人數共437名，以希望感、問題解決評估及生涯成熟為研究變項，使用「希望感量表」、「問題解決自我評估量表」及「生涯成熟量表」為研究工具，分析三者間之影響徑路。研究結果發現：一、問題解決對希望感有直接影響，即問題解決可預測希望感；二、希望感對生涯發展有直接影響；三、問題解決對生涯發展有直接影響外，另透過希望感對生涯發展有間接影響。最後根據研究結果提出教學、生涯輔導及未來研究之建議。
