The study aims to understand the current situation of the parenting attitude of adolescents’ parents, parent-child relationship, and their life adjustment and to observe the differences among different gender, birth order, grade, parents’ educational level, parents’ occupation, and family structure. At the same time, this study researches in the relevance among the parenting attitude of adolescents’ parents, parent-child relationship, and the life adjustment.
The subjects of this study are 400 first and second-grade students of National Chao-Chou Senior High School in Pingtung County. The research instruments are “parenting attitude scale,” “parent-child relationship scale,” and “life adjustment scale.” The statistical methods include percentage, frequency distribution, t test, one-way ANOVA, Scheffé's method for multiple comparisons, and Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient. The conclusion of the study is as the following:
I. With students’ individual and family variables, the study of difference on parenting attitude shows significance on variables of gender and family structure. Further explanation is as the following:
1. The parenting attitude of the students of different genders shows significant difference. From the average, boys have “autocratic” and “indifferent” parenting attitudes more often than girls. Girls have “tolerant” and “open-minded” parenting attitudes more often than boys.
2. Students with different family structures show significant difference on the “autocratic” scale of the parenting attitude. Through the comparison, it shows that step-parent families displays more autocratic parenting attitude than families with two-parent and single-parent, grandparents families, and three-generation families. There are significant differences on the indifferent scale but without differences among intervals.
II. With students’ individual and family variables, the study of difference on parent-child relationship shows significance on variables of gender and family structure. Further explanation is as the following:
1. The parent-child relationship of the students of different genders shows significant difference on the scales of “mutual trust,” “friendship association,” and “affect-exchange.” In terms of the average, girls show greater average than boys, which means girls have better parent-child relationship than boys.
2. Students from different family structures show significant difference on the “friendship association” of the parent-child relationship. Through the comparisons, it shows that the step-parent families less scores in the “friendship association” scale of the parent-child relationship than families with two-parent or single-parent, grandparents families, and three-generation families.
III. With students’ individual and family variables, the study of difference on life adjustment shows significance on variables of gender, grade, and birth order. Further explanation is as the following:
1. The life adjustment of the students of different genders shows significant difference on the scales of “family adjustment.” In terms of the average, girls show greater average than boys. That means girls have better family adjustment than boys.
2. The life adjustment of the students in different grades shows significant difference on the scales of “school adjustment.” In terms of the average, students in the second grade show better school adjustment than those in the first grade.
3. The life adjustment of the students of different birth order shows significant difference on the scales of “family adjustment.” Through the comparisons, the middle child gets more scores than the single child. That means the middle child has better family adjustment than the single child.
4. The life adjustment of the students of different family structures shows significant difference on the scales of “family adjustment.” However, through the comparisons, there is no difference among intervals.
IV. The relevant situations among parenting attitude of adolescents’ parents, parent-child relationship, and children’s life adjustment.
The four scales of the parenting attitude, four scales of the parent-child relationship, and four scales of the life adjustment have significant relevance partly in pairs.
In the conclusion of this study, suggestions to educational administrations, teachers, students, parents, and subsequent researches are proposed.
