臺灣親子衝突研究之回顧與展望

Literature Review of Research on Parent- Child Conflict in Taiwan

本研究回顧國內共二十九篇有關親子衝突的社會科學領域期刊論文。為剖析其研究結果，研究者應用植基於不同文化背景的親子理論：分離?個體化（個人主義）與雙元孝道模型（集體主義）。本研究之研究結果顯示：一、親子衝突的定義，隱含其對親子關係的假設；二、親子衝突多被視為負向因子；三、研究對象多為青少年子女；四、親子衝突的議題多為「學業」、「生活習慣」以及「交友」。而對於未來的研究建議為：一、建構具有華人文化特色的親子理論及增加對偶設計；二、增加長期追蹤的縱貫研究；三、增加成人子女為樣本的研究；四、探索親子衝突的正向內涵。

This study reviewed twenty-nine peer-reviewed journal articlespublished in Taiwan. Separation–individuation and the dual filial piety modelrepresenting individualistic and collectivistic cultures were adopted in theanalysis of these journal articles. The results of the analysis show that (1) thedefinitions of parent-child conflict vary according to the presumption of theparent-child relationship; (2) parent-child conflicts are regarded as negativefactors in most studies; (3) the majority of research participants wereteenagers; (4) academic performance, living habits, and friendship were themain issues in parent-child conflicts.Suggestions for future research include constructing a parentchildtheory with cultural characteristics specific to China, conducting alongitudinal study and creating a parent-child dyadic design for exploring theentire progress of parent-child conflicts, increasing the diversity of samples,and exploring the positive consequences of parent-child conflicts.
