Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立東華大學 === 諮商與臨床心理學系 === 101 ===   The purpose of this study was to figure out the association between adolescents’ parent-child triangulation and their interpersonal conflict resolutions. The 577 valid participants were from 7 senior high schools in Taipei area. Two questionnaires used in this study were “Parent-Child Triangulation Scale” and “Interpersonal Interaction Scale”. Data were analyzed by t-test, one-way ANOVA, MANOVA, Pearson correlation, and stepwise multiple regression, using the statistics programming software of PASW Statistics 18.   The major findings of this study were following: 1.In triangulation, these adolescents were low-degreed involved in stable coalition, detouring-attacking and detouring-supportive, but were high-degreed involved in unstable coalition and parentification. However, in interpersonal conflict resolutions, adolescents were likely to use coordination strategy. 2.In triangulation, male adolescents were more involved in detouring-attacking than female ones, but female adolescents were more involved in stable coalition than males. In interpersonal conflict resolutions, male adolescents were likely to use competitive strategy, but female ones were likely to use coordination strategy. 3.In stable coalition and detouring-attacking, high-degreed involved adolescents were more likely to use competitive strategy and avoidance strategy, but less likely to use coordination strategy than non-involved ones when suffered from interpersonal conflicts. However, in unstable coalition, high-degreed involved adolescents were more likely to use accommodative strategy than low-degreed involved and non-involved ones. 4.There were significant correlations among parent-child triangulation and interpersonal conflict resolutions. 5.Parent-child triangulation and gender could effectively predict interpersonal conflict resolutions for adolescents. Moreover, detouring-attacking was the best predictable variable.
