| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺北教育大學 === 幼兒與家庭教育學系碩士班 === 102 === This study aimed to explore in the family of the first and second children’s drawing performances and sibling relationship. Through the implementation and analyses of kinetic family drawings, this study combined the semi-structural interview method with the research subjects being children aged from 4 to 12 years in an elementary school and its affiliated preschool in New Taipei City. The effective sample contained 31 pairs of siblings, 62 people in total. The subjects’ drawings were analyzed with statistical methods such as descriptive statistics and contingency-correlation, and qualitative interview data processing. The findings of this study are summarized below:
1.Among the KFDs by children in dual-income families, the percentage of the KFDs without any character interaction was the highest. And the percentage in the second siblings’ KFDs was higher than in the first siblings’ KFDs. In most of the KFDs, the activities drawn were indoor ones.
2.As for the character distances in the KFDs by children in dual-income families, the characters who were the closest and the furthest to children were their parents. The type of siblings of the highest intimacy was brother-sister pairs.
3.In the KFD performances of children in dual-income families, the most common presentation of characters was to line them up. As for compartmentalization, it was more commonly used when drawing parents than drawing siblings.
4.In the aspect of the character features in the KFDs by children in dual-income families, the characters were drew the first and the largest characters were usually father, mother, and self. The largest characters were drew by children who were over 3 years older or younger than their siblings were their siblings, showing the importance of these characters.
5.As for the symbols in the KFDs by children from dual-income families, the most common ones were natural sceneries, household electric appliances, furniture, decorations, and books.
6.Most of the children perceived their first sibling relationship as a warm/intimate relationship, followed by a conflicting relationship. As for the second sibling relationship, a conflicting relationship was the most common one, followed by a warm/intimate relationship. And the difference between the sibling relationship observed by parents and that perceived by children was significant.
Based on the research results and findings, this study proposed some specific suggestions as references for parents, school teachers, and future researchers.
