臺灣社會衝突知覺對生活適應的影響：社會信任感與個人狀態的中介調節效果

Abstract

在高度緊密的社會環境中，難以避免會產生衝突，社會衝突即是指來自不同個體或群體對事情的期待與觀點不同而產生的後果，包含行為上的爭執、爭奪，或心理上的緊張狀況。社會衝突可能對社會發展、個體身心健康帶來不同的影響。本研究即是從社會衝突的角度出發思考三個相關的議題：第一、臺灣民眾在不同議題上所經歷到的社會衝突現況及變遷；第二、探討社會衝突對生活適應的影響及內在機制；第三、檢驗個體的狀態是否會調節知覺衝突強度對生活適應的影響。本研究運用2009年與2019年臺灣社會變遷基本調查社會不平等題組進行資料分析，結果發現：整體而言，臺灣人民於2019年比2009年知覺到更多的社會衝突，不同議題間所知覺到的社會衝突強度不同，且受到性別、年齡、教育年數、社會階層、收入等人口學變項所影響。社會衝突知覺強度越高者會降低社會信任，進而產生較差的生活適應，而此關係會受到個人狀態所調節。In a highly interconnected social environment, conflicts are difficult to avoid. Social conflict refers to the consequences that arise when individuals or groups have different expectations and perspectives on matters, including behavioral disputes, competition, or psychological tension. Social conflict can have diverse effects on societal development and individual mental and physical health. This study examines three interconnected issues from the perspective of social conflict: first, the current status and changes in social conflicts experienced by the people in Taiwan on different issues; second, the exploration of the impact of social conflict on life adaptation and its underlying mechanisms; third, the examination of whether individual states moderate the influence of perceived conflict intensity on life adaptation. Using data analysis from the 2009& 2019 Taiwan Social Change Survey: Social Inequality, the results indicate that, overall, Taiwanese people perceived more social conflicts in 2019 than in 2009. The intensity of perceived social conflicts varies across different issues and is influenced by demographic variables such as gender, age, education, social class, and income. Those who perceive higher social conflict intensity tend to have lower social trust, leading to poorer life adaptation, and this relationship is moderated by individual states.
