| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺北大學 === 社會學系 === 98 === This study discusses the relation between parenting and adolescent mental health by using quantitative data. According to literature reference, we can distinguish “parenting” into two different parts which are “parental care” and “parental control”.
This study uses TEPS(Taiwan Education Panel Survey) “Wave-2 student questionnaire” as the main analytic data. The respondents of this project are junior high school students and their parents. Besides, this study uses “Factor Analysis” to create the measure of adolescent mental health, making use of “OLS simple regression” to conduct statistical analysis.
After controlling for economic change、marriage status、gender、family income and parental educational level, the regression model showed that “parental care” has a positive effect on adolescent mental health. However, the effect of “parental control” depends on the degree of “parental care”. These results also show the interaction between “parental care” and “parental control”, implying that “parental care” would provide the “buffer” effect for mediating the negative influence of “parental control” on adolescent mental health.
