Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 教育心理與輔導學系 === 100 === Based on Beck’s cognitive triad theory, we has two hypothesis. First, we hypothesized the parental psychological control would have negative impacts on the adolescents’ depression trajectories, which named “parent effect”. Second, we hypothesized the adolescents’ depression would have negative impacts on parental psychological control trajectories, which called “child effect”. According to these two hypothesis, we also examined parent effect and child effect which effect had more significant effect. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to were explore gender’s differences of the relationship between parental psychological control and adolescents’ depression from childhood into adolescence. This study consisting of 1,444 students’ responses to depression and parental psychological control questions from a cohort study in Taiwan which named “Child and Adolescent Behaviors in Long-term Evolution (CABLE)”. This study based on different gender, we separated participants into two groups(Boys, N=692; Girls, N=752). This study applies latent growth model to data from six waves. Complete data from 1,444 children were analyzed and results showed that (1) boys perceived more parental psychological control at 4 grade, the trajectories of boys will decreased more rapidly, whereas in girls increased. (2) girls had more depression symptoms at 4 grade, the trajectories of girls will significantly increased , whereas in boys decreased more rapidly. (3) we both found parent effect and child effect in the latent growth model, but the parent effect had more significant effect than child effect.
