| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺北科技大學 === 技術及職業教育研究所 === 104 === This research aims to understand present parenting and communication methodologies used by new resident parents, and the degree to which their junior high children approve of these. Additionally, it compares the differences among them. The research also analyzes the differences between new resident junior high school students of different backgrounds with respect to how much they approve of how their parents communicate and conduct parenting.
This research uses survey forms for its investigation, using its “Parent Inter-Communication Method and Approval Rating Form” and “Parenting Method and Approval Rating Form” as its research tools. Research subjects are New Taipei City’s 2014 new resident junior high school students. 1068 survey forms were distributed, and 903 forms have been returned, for a recovery rate of 84%. Statistical methods used during data analysis and discussion include frequency distribution and percentile distribution, average figure and standard deviation, verification of independent samples, and one-way analysis of variance, for the conclusions below:
1. The survey on the children of new residents enrolled in junior high schools of New Taipei City shows that the majority identified “authoritative” as the parenting style adopted by their parents, followed by “authoritarian” and “indulgent” styles and most of them do not identify with the “neglectful” parenting style. In actual parenting practice, the majority also chose “authoritative” over “authoritarian” and “indulgent” and very few chose “neglectful”.
2. The majority of the surveyed students identified “open communication” as their way of communication with their parents. In actual practice, the majority also answered “open communication” as their way of communication with their parents.
3. In parenting behaviors, parents of the surveyed students often try to teach their children the value of hard-working and proper behaviors through criticism and scolding, but when they have differences in opinion, the parents often give way to the children. However, the students wished that their parents could make more efforts to understand their needs and thoughts, listen to their opinions and spare the punishments when they have done something wrong.
4. In communication, parents of the surveyed students are often over-concerned of things that their children see as private and see things from their own point of view. The students wished that their parent could spend more time with them and express their concerns and care more often.
5. Parents of the survey students tend to be more “authoritarian” towards their male children, but mothers of Indonesian origin tend to be more “indulgent” towards their male children in senior year.
6. Parents of the surveyed students from two-parent families who have received higher education tend to adopt the “authoritative” parenting style.
7. Parents of the surveyed students from two-parent families who have received higher education tend to communicate with their children in the “open communication” style, especially mothers from Indonesia and Southeast Asia.
8. Among the surveyed students, male students who are single child in the family and in senior year have higher tendency to accept and identify with the “authoritarian” and “indulgent” parenting styles.
9. Students whose mothers are Indonesian or Southeast Asian origin and have received higher education have higher tendency to accept and identify with the “authoritative” parenting style.
10. Students from two-parent families whose parents are Southeast Asian original and have received higher education have higher tendency to identify with the “open communication” style.
