| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺北大學 === 統計學系 === 98 === Junior high school students in Taiwan are often unhappy about their academic achievement and physical status. The unhappiness grows as they become older. To improve this, it is then important to identify factors that are associated with their unhappiness.
This study used data collected from Taiwan Education Panel Survey (TEPS). There were 10803 eligible students from junior high schools nationwide. The response variable was measured by three ordinal scales, high, median and low well-being. Associated variables contained domains in student’s livelihood, parents’ and teachers’ influences. The chi-square and Kruskall Wallis test were used to assess the bivariate association. The overall association between associated variables and student’s well being was assessed by the multinomial logit model.
The study discoveries that the more the positive attitudes that the students have, the happier the students fell. The positive attitudes include well-preparation when facing examinations, doing regular exercises, not in love, having normal sleeping hours and having less time in extracurricular activities in supplementary lessons and longer time in net surfing for homework. The students also feel high well-being when staying with families and parents have good relationship. Furthermore, students feel higher well-being when schools offer good learning environment or teachers express praise instead of negative wording. The result of this research can provide some guidance for parents and teachers when facing the decision to instruct their children and students so the students not only have excellent academic performance but also have happy students’ life.
