Summary: | 碩士 === 中國文化大學 === 生活應用科學系 === 103 === Data from the 2014 Census and Statistics Department of the Ministry of the Interior show that single people aged from 25 to 44 increased by 28% from 2004 to 2013, demonstrating the increased number of single people. The existing stereotyped image of single people makes others think that their interpersonal development skills are inadequate. According to the relevant studies, those with higher social self-efficacy certainly relate to whether their interpersonal relations are good. Therefore, it’s worthy of further discussion on whether single people would be worried about that their weak interpersonal ability and lower social self-efficacy will lead to reduced social confidence, thereby reducing their behaviors of getting along with others.
Looking at the domestic research on social self-efficacy, there are few studies on single people as objects, and there are also very few domestic and foreign empirical researches on the combination of both interpersonal relationships and social self-efficacy. Therefore, the focus of this paper is to investigate the relation between single people’s self-efficacy and interpersonal relationships, and set gender, age, education level, religion and marital status as background variables.
This study adopted “questionnaire”, took never-married singles aged from 25 to 44 in Taipei and New Taipei city as study population and issued questionnaires regional stratification and the proportion of single population quota, obtaining 385 valid samples. The research instruments include personal background factor questionnaire, Social Self-efficacy Scale and Interpersonal Relationship Scales; analytical methods are descriptive statistics, one sample t test, independent sample t test, one-way analysis of variance, Scheffe posterior comparisons, Pearson product-moment correlation, enter method and multiple regression analysis. The results are shown as follows:
1. Single people’s “social self-efficacy” and “interpersonal relationships” show upper degree.
2. Single people’s “education” shows significant difference in “social self-efficacy” and “interpersonal relationships”.
3. Single people’s “marital status” shows significant difference in “social self-efficacy”.
4. Single people’s “social self-efficacy” and “interpersonal relationships” show significant positive correlation.
5. Single people’s “social self-efficacy” has 27% of variance to interpersonal relationships.
It suggested that relevant units promote more courses on social self-efficacy so that single people can easily contact and deal with people in social situations in order to enhance good self-efficacy and social relationships.
