碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 教育心理與輔導學系 === 104 === Exploring the differences among hospital employees of various demographic backgrounds by looking into their gender role attitude, spouse support and co-parenting, the primary goal of this research is trying to understand the unfoldingand interplay of these three variables. The subjects, all 320 of them, in this study are those who are employed in Metropolitan hospitals in Yilan County and married with minor children. Questionnaire study and purposive sampling are applied in the research method. The tools and measurements include “Gender role Attitude Inventory,” “Spouse Support Inventory” and “Co-parenting Scale”. While analyzing the data, descriptive statistics, one-way MANOVA, Pearson’s product moment correlation coefficient and stepwise regression are utilized for each of their specific purposes. The main findings are: 1.Hospital employees generally have fair “gender equal development attitude” as well as “spouse support”. 2.There are significant differences in gender role attitude in terms of subjects’ gender and education level: females are prone to showing “gender equal development attitude” than males, and employees with/ above graduate school education show less orthodox gender attitude. 3.In co-parenting behavior: females score significantly higher than males in “sharing the labor”; medical personnel show better “task negotiation” than nursing and administrative personnel and their “supporting behavior” is also higher than nursing staff. 4.In spouse support, “emotional support” and “instrumental support” are two best predictive variables for “task negotiation”and “supporting behavior” . 5.“Gender equality development” and “spouse support score” are effective predictors for co-parenting. Based on the results, we have discussions and suggestions for practitioners in this area and for its further inquiry into the matter.
