| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 教育心理與輔導學系 === 103 === This study aims to explore the difference of family system differentiation, interpersonal intimacy and depression of college students from different backgrounds, to investigate the correlations between family system differentiation, interpersonal intimacy and depression, and to predict the depression of college students by their family system differentiation and interpersonal intimacy. Through stratified-cluster sampling, a total of 892 students were invited as research participant from 8 colleges in Taipei City, New Taipei City and Keelung City.
Research instruments include Personal Information Form, Differentiation in the Family System Scale (DIFS), Interpersonal Intimacy Scale and Tung’s Depression Inventory for College Students (TDICS). The collected data were analyzed with one-way MANOVA, Pearson correlation, and stepwise regression. The research findings are as follows:
1. The prevalence of college students with apparent depressive symptoms and severe depressive symptoms were 11.3%.
2. In the scores of family system differentiation: There is no significant difference in the college types or romantic status of college students. Nonetheless, there is significant difference in genders, living status, marital status of their parents, family social economic status, and counseling experience.
3. In the scores of interpersonal intimacy: There is no significant difference in grades and living conditions of college students. Nonetheless, there is significant difference in genders and romantic status.
4. In the scores of depression: There is no significant difference in college types and grades of college students. Nonetheless, there is significant difference in genders, romantic status, counseling experience, and marital status of their parents.
5. The research outcomes indicate the positive correlation between family system differentiation and interpersonal intimacy, and the negative correlation between family system differentiation and depression, as well as the negative correlation between interpersonal intimacy and depression.
6. After the stepwise regression analysis, the research results point out that family system differentiation and interpersonal intimacy can predict depression effectively. On top of that, the “respect, consideration and understanding” factor of interpersonal intimacy is the best predictive variable in both genders. Last but not least, Father-child Subsystem Differentiation serves as the secondary predictive variable for male college students; While Parenting Subsystem Differentiation serves as the secondary predictive variable for females.
Finally, the researcher offers suggestions for practitioners and researchers in counseling based on the research findings.
