The study is to research that the minority adolescents get into the social welfare system after experiencing the impoverished life. It will analyze the satisfactions after participating child-helped activities and personal life planning from minority adolescents’ background: including family style, gender, age, identity style, main caretakers and main caretakers’ level of education.
The data collection in this research is questionnaire survey mainly and with partly qualitative research technique. Purposive sampling was conducted. The samples are the adolescents who are currently getting helped at CCF Taipei and valid samples are 307. The data analysis is applied SPSS 12.0 to examine research hypotheses by the mean, standard deviation, frequency distribution, descriptive statistics, Chi-square test, t-test, ANOVA, and multiple regression analysis. Also an in-depth interview with 6 adolescents who are currently getting helped is carried out for the qualitative analysis research.
The findings of this research are:
1. Personal variables:
a. Family background, are mainly low-income and need government subsidies
b. Age, are mainly 12-13 years old
c. Gender, are mainly girls
d. Identity style, are mainly Year 5 &6 of elementary school
e. main caretakers, are mainly single mothers
f. main caretakers’ level of education, most are senior high school
2. The minority adolescents’ different ‘identity style’ and ‘main caretakers’ to the participation in child-helped activities: ‘have class at the Center’, ‘scholarship’, ‘visiting service’, ‘consulting service’, and ‘helping time’ are differences, particularly for ‘consulting service’ and ‘helping time’ which had significant differences.
3. The minority adolescents’ ‘satisfactions’ at the participation in different child-helped activities: ‘whether get material subsidies’, ‘have educational program’, ‘have visiting service’, and ‘have consulting service’ are differences, particularly for ‘material subsidies’ and ‘consulting service’ which had significant differences.
4. The correlation analysis between ‘satisfactions’ at the participation in child-helped activities and ‘personal life planning’ for the minority adolescents: correlation coefficient for survivability to general living needs is r=0.595; r=0.743 for survivability to concern and support; r=0.482 for life value to general living needs; r=0.554 for life value to concern and support, all four aspects are positive.
5. The minority adolescents’ ‘satisfactions’ at the participation in child-helped activities and ‘personal life planning’ had significant correlation to ‘have class at the Center’, ‘visiting service’, ‘material subsidies’, ‘scholarship’, and ‘ helping fund’ respectively.
6. The satisfaction of the participation in child-helped activities to personal life planning is 58%.
This shows that it is necessary for minority adolescents to have child-helped activities. It concludes that concern and support are more significant than general living needs, the survivability for personal life planning and the prediction for understanding life value (ß=0.616: 0.1116, P<0.001). Meanwhile, from this research it finds that understanding life value is more than survivability, which proves Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs: Physiological needs- Safety needs- Belongingness needs- Esteem needs- Self-actualization needs. It also proves the real value of personal life planning in this research, which is a continuing process for individual through setting life objective and achievement. Those findings in this research contribute to the field of caring minority adolescents and provide as an important benchmark for further research.
