摘要: | 本研究旨在瞭解高雄市國民中學一至三年級學生之「個人背景變項」、「家庭價值觀」、與「對老年人態度」現況,並分析不同「個人背景變項」的受試者在「家庭價值觀」及「對老年人態度」上的差異狀況,及探討受試者之「家庭價值觀」與「對老年人態度」之相關性。
本研究係採「問卷調查法」進行資料的收集,並以「分層叢集取樣」之抽樣方式,選取居住於高雄地區之國中學生為調查對象,正式抽樣樣本為 680 人,經回收後有效樣本數為 628 人,有效回收率為 92.35%。所使用的研究工具包括:個人背景資料 19 題、家庭價值觀量表 13 題、對老年人態度量表 19 題。其結果以敘述統計、單一樣本 t 檢定、獨立樣本 t 檢定、單因子變異數分析、Scheffé事後比較法、Pearson積差相關、以及多元迴歸等統計方法加以分析。
本研究旨在探討國中生家庭價值觀以及對老年人態度之研究。本研究結果為:
一、高雄地區國中生的「個人背景變項」與「家庭價值觀」之差異情形為:
(一)公立完全中學國中部學生在家庭價值觀與家庭功能層面,較公立國中學生傳統。
(二)父母婚姻持續且有同住者,其家庭功能觀念會比父母離婚者較為傳統。
(三)在家庭價值觀與家庭功能上,折衷家庭比小家庭、單親家庭稍傳統,而小家庭又比單親家庭傳統。
(四)與老年人相處親密者,家庭價值觀越趨於傳統。
二、高雄地區國中生的「個人背景變項」與「對老年人態度」之差異情形為:
(一)年紀愈小,在認知意向上愈具正向態度。
(二)公立完全中學國中部學生在對老年人態度、認知、行為意向,較公立國中學生正向。
(三)與老年人相處越親密者,對老年人態度越正向。
三、高雄地區國中生的「家庭價值觀」與「對老年人態度」兩者間是具有相關性,以及「家庭價值觀」能預測「對老年人態度」。本研究依據其結果所提出建議如下:
(一)給父母親或親職代理人之建議,多增加家人間的互動,並暢通彼此的溝通管道;再者,可藉由參與親職成長團體及講座,以強化家庭教育的知能;亦可多提供家庭活動,以鼓勵家人共同參與。
(二)給學校教育單位之建議,以家庭教育為主題作課程設計,以建構國中生的家庭價值觀;另外,也應加強與父母親的合作關係。
(三)給政府機關之建議,運用傳播媒體的力量,以宣導正確家庭價值觀念;並且倡導代間活動與世代共學之理念。
(四)提供給重視國中生的家庭價值觀與對老年人態度之未來研究者及相關單位,作為參考,以增進代際的瞭解與關係。
The purposes of the study are to investigate junior high school students’ family values and their attitudes toward older adults in Kaohsiung, and the influences of different personal characteristics on family values andattitudes toward the elderly.

The research instrument, questionnaire, includes a 19-item personal charateristics scale, a 13-item family values scale, and a 19-item attitude toward the elderly scale.

The results of data analysis shows that:
1. The influences of different personal characteristics on family values.
1.1 Students who study at public complete high schoolsare more likely to have traditional attitudes on family values and family functions, than those who study at public junior high schools.
