同儕依附對知覺到的支持與憂鬱情緒之影響

The effect of peer attachment on the relationship betweenperceived peer support and depression

同儕是青少年重要的社會支持來源與依附對象，青少年的情緒問題也多與同儕關係有關，其中隱而不顯的憂鬱情緒尤其堪慮，有鑑於此，本研究之目的在於探討青少年知覺到的同儕支持與同儕依附對憂鬱情緒的影響。本研究以「台灣青少年成長研究」資料庫中，第一波台北縣市都會區之國中一年級2059位學生為研究對象，採用結構方程模式檢證同儕依附對知覺到的同儕支持與憂鬱情緒之影響關係的中介歷程。研究結果發現：（1）理論模式適合用來解釋國中一年級學生知覺到的社會支持對憂鬱情緒的影響；（2）同儕支持有助於減低憂鬱情緒；（3）愈依附於同儕的國中學生愈可能出現憂鬱情緒；（4）同儕依附在同儕支持對憂鬱情緒的影響關係中，扮演了抑制的角色。根據本研究結果，於文末提出相應之建議，供未來研究與輔導實務之參考。
