| Summary: | 碩士 === 臺北市立教育大學 === 心理與諮商教學碩士學位班 === 101 === Exploring the related studies of personality traits, parenting stress, and parenting styles formed the framework of this study. Three main purposes are included. First, the study explored the differences in personality traits, parenting stress, and parenting styles of elementary school teachers with different background variables. Second, the study explored the relationship among the personality traits, parenting stress, and parenting styles of elementary school teachers. Third, the study explored the prediction of elementary school teachers’ personality traits and parenting stress to parenting styles.
The study aimed to observe elementary school teachers with children in the range from elementary school to high school in Taiwan. Data was gathered from questionnaires (basic information, Personality Traits scale, Parenting Stress scale, and Parenting Style scale) that had been distributed to teachers in 31 public and private elementary schools in Taiwan 19 cities and counties, and received 378 valid questionnaires in total. The collected data was analyzed by Independent Sample T-test, One-way ANOVA, Pearson Correlation Coefficient, and Multiple Regression Analysis. Six conclusions as follows generated from the findings illustrated the relationship among the personality traits, parenting stress, and parenting styles of elementary school teachers.
1. The personality traits in elementary school teachers showed positive and significant tendency on Agreeableness and Conscientiousness. Male teachers got higher and significant scores than female teachers on Emotional Stability, Extraversion and Openness.
2. The parenting stress in elementary school teachers showed lower level, and the highest was “Husband-Wife Impedes”, the lowest is “Parents-Child Dysfunctional Interaction”.
3. Most elementary school teachers’ parenting style was “authoritative”.
4. There had a negative and significant correlation between personality traits and parenting stress in elementary school teachers mostly. Only “Husband-Wife Impedes” had a negative and significant correlation with “Emotional stability”.
5. There had a positive and significant correlation between personality traits and parenting styles in elementary school teachers.
6. There had a negative and significant correlation between parenting stress and parenting styles in elementary school teachers mostly. Only “Husband-Wife Impedes” had a negative and significant correlation with “responsiveness”.
7. “Emotional stability”, “Extraversion”, “Agreeableness”, “Conscientiousness”, and “Parents-Child Dysfunctional Interaction” could effectively predict the parenting style ‘responsiveness’.
8. “Agreeableness”, “Conscientiousness”, “Parenting Capacity Constraints”, “Relationship between Husband-wife Impedes”, “Parents-Child Dysfunctional Interaction”, and “Rearing Attitudes Frustration” could effectively predict the parenting style “demandingness”
Finally, according to the results of the study, the researcher proposed specific suggestions for school counseling and future research.
