Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 教育研究所 === 97 === The purpose of the study is to investigate the current status of relational aggression victimization in adolescents, to explore the relation of relational aggression victimization, social anxiety tendency, loneliness, and externalizing problem. Besides, we also test the moderating effect of social support on the relationship between relational aggression victimization and psychosocial adjustments. The measure tools used in this study include “Social Experience Questionnaire”, “Social Support Scale”, ”Social Anxiety Scale for Adolescents”, “Loneliness Scale”, and “Externalizing Behavior Subscale”. The questionnaires were administered to 593 junior high school students in Taiwan. The results of survey were analyzed by t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson product- moment correlation, and hierarchical regression analysis. The results of the study are as follows: 1.There are no significant differences in gender and grades. 2. There are positive relationships among the score of relational aggression victim, social anxiety tendency, loneliness, and externalizing problem. 3. After controlling overt aggression victim, the score of relational aggression victim can effectively predict social anxiety tendency, loneliness and externalizing problem. 4. The relational aggression victims feel less emotional support from peer then other adolescents who weren’t victimized from relational aggression. 5. Emotional support from peer has moderate effect between the score of relational aggression victim and externalizing problem in all adolescents. Informational support from peer has moderate effect between the score of relational aggression victim and externalizing problem in relational aggression victims. Finally, the advanced discussions and further suggestions are addressed based on the result of this study.
