幼兒依附關係與親子情緒言談之相關研究

Abstract

本研究目的主要在探討幼兒依附關係與親子情緒言談之相關性為何。研究對象為三十對母親與其幼兒（男生13位，女生17位），幼兒平均年齡為46個月。 幼兒依附關係是以「一歲至三歲幼兒依附行為量表」所測得，該量表可獲得幼兒三類型依附分數(安全依附分數、逃避依附分數、曖昧依附分數)。親子情緒言談則是討論關於幼兒過去的負面情緒經驗，母子間的情緒言談內容編碼為「情緒歸屬」、「情緒解釋」、「情緒肯定」、「情緒澄清」、「情緒化解」、「情緒誘導」、「情緒引發的行為結果」；此外，計算母親與幼兒在情緒言談中使用的正、負面情緒詞彙量。

本研究主要發現如下：

幼兒部份，逃避依附分數與幼兒使用情緒詞彙量呈現正相關，此外，安全依附分數與幼兒使用「情緒解釋」亦呈現正相關；母親部份，安全依附分數與母親使用「情緒化解」呈現正相關。

最後，根據以上研究結果，提出給未來欲從事相關研究人員、父母以及老師具體建議。The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between child’s attachment and mother-child conversation about emotions. The research subject were 30 pairs of mothers and their children(13 boys and17 girls). The average age of children was 46 months old. The attachment of children was assessed by using the ‘ one-to-three-year old Attachment scale’ . Three scores were obtained by the Attachment scale (secure score, avoidant score, and ambivalent score). Mother-child discussed about child’s previous negative emotional experiences. These conversations of both the mothers and their children were coded for ‘Attribution, ‘Cause’, ‘Validations’, ‘Clarifying’, ‘Resolution’, ‘Elicitation’, and ‘Behavioral results’. In addition, the number of positive and negative emotional words used by mothers and children were computed. The results were as follow. For children, there was a positive correlation between avoidant score and child’s emotional words. Besides, there was a positive correlation between secure score and child’s ‘Cause’. For mothers, there was a positive correlation between secure score and mother’s ‘Resolve’. According to the research results, the researcher gave some suggestion to researchers, parents, and teachers.
