聾父母對聽子女之教養方式與態度研究

The Parenting Styles of Deaf Parents/Hearing Childern

本研究旨在探討聾父母對聽子女之教養方式與態度。研究參與者為便利取樣自OO召會的三個聾父母家庭，他們的家庭中育有一名以上就讀幼兒園自國小的聽力正常子女。以深度訪談進行研究資料的蒐集，研究工具包括訪談題綱、觀察紀錄、筆談紀錄（含通訊軟體LINE之筆談紀錄）；以持續比較法進行訪談資料的分析。本研究結果如下:一、聾父母對聽子女的教養方式和態度取向，受到聾父母本身之人格特質的影響；三個聾父母聽子女家庭，聾父母都是主要教養者；教養方式有高關懷、高控制和高支持型；教養態度上普遍以積極正向的態度來教養聽子女，並認為以身作則是重要的。二、聾父母教養聽子女的人力資源，除了自身外尚包括（一）聾父母的父母；（二）教會中的弟兄姊妹們；（三）同為聾父母聽子女的家庭。三、聾父母教養聽子女遭遇的困難，主要為與口語溝通有關的層面。例如，聽子女的口語發展。四、聾父母解決教養聽子女所遭遇困難的方式，主要是自己探求方法、詢問同為聾父母聽子女家庭的聾朋友、聽人朋友及自己的父母，以此獲得經驗的交流與資訊的取得。本研究期望能提供聾父母聽小孩家庭，具參考性的相關教養資訊。

The p urpose of this study was to investigate the parenting styles of deaf parents/ heari ng children. The participants were three families with deaf parents and at least one child with normal hearing. In - depth interviews were used to gather the data, and the main research tools employed were a list of interview questions, observation records, and records of written communications (some conducted using LINE). The main findings were as follows: 1. The participants’ parenting styles were influenced by their personalities. In all three families the deaf parents took primary responsibility for raising their children, and their parenting styles were characterized by high degrees of concern, control, and support. As for their attitudes about parenting, each set of parents was found to be highly proactive, also giving much importance to setting a good example in one’s own conduct. 2. For help in raising their children, the participants mainly rely on their own parents, members of their church, and other deaf parents. 3. The main difficulties experienced by the participants were found to be related to verbal communication, especially their children’s acquisition and development of oral language skills. 4. When they encounter difficulties in raising their children, if they can’t find their own solution, then the participants typically seek advice from other deaf parents, friends with normal hearing, or their parents.
