Summary: | 碩士 === 國立嘉義大學 === 家庭教育與諮商研究所 === 97 === The purpose of the study is to explore the relations between junior high school students’ family atmosphere, frustration tolerance, and problem-solving attitude. The data were collected by paper-and-pencil questionnaire filled out by 503 students from 17 classes of Tainan City’s public schools. The study instrument includes “Family Atmosphere Scale”, “Frustration Tolerance Scale”, and “Problem-Solving Scale”. The data is analyzed with frequency distribution, percentage, mean, standard deviation, t-test, Pearson product moment correlation, one-way ANOVA, and stepwise multiple regression.
The main discoveries of this study are as follows:
1.Junior high school students’ family atmosphere tends to be good and harmonious; their tolerance to schoolwork frustration is merely fair and to the interpersonal relationship frustration is medium high; their problem-solving attitude inclines to be positive.
2.Gender has a significant influence on problem recognition orientation—females score higher than males. Students from family of high social-economic status have more positive problem-solving attitude than those from family of low social-economic status.
3. There is positive correlation between family atmosphere, frustration tolerance, and problem-solving attitude. The result suggests that with more harmonious family atmosphere and higher frustration tolerance, students has more positive problem-solving attitude.
4. We can effectively predict junior high school students’ problem-solving attitude by their family atmosphere and frustration tolerance. Among the items in Frustration Tolerance Scale, the best predictive index is “Interpersonal Action Orientation”, which contributes to 51.9% of variance explained together with “Family Interaction” and “Schoolwork Action Orientation”.
The discussion here is based on the results of the study mentioned above, and can be a reference for teenagers, parents and people who would have further study in this field.
