The present study is to investigate the association among parent-child triangulation, peer relationship and mental health of only-child of senior high schools in Tao-Yuan county. The subjects were sampled from 14 schools. The subjects were consisted of 278 only-child students and 167 not only-child students. Three questionnaires were used: the Scale of Triangle Operation in Parental Quarrels, Peer Relationship Questionnaire and CHQ-12. The results are as the following:
1) There were no significant difference found in only-child group with different background variables ( gender, school type, live with parents or not) in terms of their parent-child relationship, peer relationship and mental health.
2) The only-child group whose parents were married scored lower than the only-child whose parents were separated or divorced in cross-generational coalition and the triangle operation in Parental Quarrels Scale. It showed that the only-child group whose parents were separated or divorced has higher cross-generational coalition and parent-child triangulation than the only-child whose parents were married.
3) There were no significant difference found between only-child group and not only-child group in terms of their parent-child triangulation, peer relationship and mental health.
4) Score higher in CHQ-12 was unhealthy. CHQ-12 was positively correlated with the Triangle Operation of Parental Quarrels Scale and the scapegoating and cross-generational coalition. The correlation of CHQ-12 and parentification was not significant. The result means the only-child with higher score of the scapegoating and cross-generational coalition is more unhealthy. The correlation of mental health and parentification was not significant. CHQ-12 is negatively correlated with Peer Relationship Questionnaire. It means if the only-child group had better peer relationship, they tended to have better mental health.
5) Peer relationship was negatively correlated with the Triangle Operation of Parental Quarrels Scale and cross-generational coalition and there was no significant correlation among peer relationship and the scapegoating and the parentification. It showed the less the only-child in parent-child triangulation the better in peer relationship. The only-child group who had more cross-generational coalition tended to have worse peer relationship.
6) For only-child group, the cross-generational coalition can predict peer relationship. The peer relationship and the scapegoating can predict mental health.
7) For not only-child group, the cross-generational coalition can predict peer relationship. The peer relationship, the scapegoating and parentification can predict mental health.
8) For unhealthy sample which CHQ-12 score≧5, the scapegoating can predict peer relationship. The peer relationship and the scapegoating can predict mental health.
