| Summary: | 博士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 衛生教育研究所 === 89 === The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between drinking behavior and related psychosocial factors for Taiwanese aboriginal teenagers. The researcher, based on literature and theories, proposed a psychosocial model of drinking behaviors for aboriginal teenagers. This model includes four factors: personal characteristics, family attachment, peer interactions, and acculturation. The subjects were 473 aboriginal teenage students. Data was analyzed by using structual eqution model with LISREL 8.30 statistical software package in order to test the fitness of the proposed model.
The results of the test of fitness indicated that the psychosocial model constructed and adapted by this research fits the observed data and could be used to interpret drinking behavior of aboriginal teenagers. The major findings in this study is summarized as the following:
1.The psychosocial factors directly influencing drinking behaviors of aborginal teenagers included:drinking behaviors of their parents, drinking behaviors of their peers, affective bonding, self efficacy, social assimilation, and social attitudes.
2.In the psychosocial model, peer-drinking behaviors had a most prominent impact on problematic drinking behavior of aboriginal teenagers.
3.Part of the aboriginal teenager problematic drinking behavior originated from observing an imitating their parent''''''''s behaviors.
4.The self- efficacy in refusing invitations to drink from classmates, friends, and adults was one important factor in reducing problematic drinking behaviors of aboriginal teenagers.This was also one important life skill that aboriginal teenagers need to learn.
5.The level of acculturation also influenced problematic drinking behavior on aboriginal teenagers. The lower the acculturation, the more obvious the problematic drinking behavior. The more teenagers are acculturated, the more they are socially assimilated, and the more positive their social attitudes, and the less problematic drinking behavior occurred.
6.When there is better family interaction in the aboriginal teenagers'''''''' families, the problematic drinking behavior is usually decreased.
