青少年依附關係、知覺父母言語管教、情緒穩定之相關研究

Attachment and Perception of Verbal Parenting as Related to Emotional Stability for Adolescents in Taiwan

本研究旨在探討男女青少年的依附關係、知覺父母的言語管教、情緒穩定三者的關係。以台北縣市國中七到九年級537名學生為研究對象，以問卷調查法蒐集資料，所用研究工具為「我的經驗量表」、「我的家庭經驗量表」、「我的生活量表」。本研究重要發現是：對女性青少年，當父女依附關係是在統計控制之下，父女溝通與女性青少年之情緒穩定是呈負面相關。本研究結果支持一般的看法：父母正向言語管教及男女青少年與父母依附關係良好，會有助男女青少年情緒的穩定。本研究還發現：男女青少年在對母親依附關係、知覺到父母親的言語管教、情緒穩定上並無不同，但男性青少年比女性青少年知覺到較多對父親依附的安全感。此外，本研究重要發現之一是：父女的依附關係良好時，父親對女兒常說或不常說出鼓勵肯定話語，其情緒穩定沒有差別；而父女的依附關係較差時，父親較常對女兒說出正向言語，會對女兒的情緒穩定有正面的影響。

This study investigated how attachment and perceptions of parent’s verbal parenting are related to emotional stability for adolescents in Taiwan. The sample comprised 537 junior high school students in Taipei. The instruments used in this study were Inventory of My Experience， Inventory of My Family Experience， and Inventory of My Life. Data obtained in this study were analyzed with t-test， multiple regression analysis and two-way analysis of variance.The results indicated that， when father-daughter attachment was controlled by statistics， the relationship between father-daughter communication and daughter’s emotional stability had a significant negative correlation. Our results also confirmed the general consensus that the secure attachment between parents and adolescents， as well as perceptions of positive verbal parenting among adolescents， are beneficial to the emotional stability of adolescents. The results indicated significant gender differences in the attachment relationship between adolescents and fathers， with sons having a more secure sense of attachment with fathers than daughters did. However， no significant gender differences existed for the attachment relationship between adolescents and mothers， the perceptions among adolescents of verbal parenting from mothers， the perception among adolescents of verbal parenting from fathers， and the emotional stability of adolescents. Moreover， when the attachment between fathers and daughters was secure， the emotional stability of daughters did not show any difference whether or not fathers used positive verbal parenting. However， when the attachment between fathers and daughters was insecure， positive verbal parenting from fathers benefited the emotional stability of daughters. Finally， some specific implications of this study for the design and providing of counseling services to adolescents and their parents are proposed， and some suggestions for future research are also made.
