| Summary: | 碩士 === 正修科技大學 === 幼兒保育研究所 === 106 === This study investigates awareness of sexual assault prevention (SAP) among parents with different background variables, the need for them to guide their children on SAP with picture books (PBs), and the effectiveness of PBs in SAP. A survey was conducted on a purposive sample of parents who were willing to read PBs together with their children who were kindergarten or elementary school pupils. The questionnaire was based on the ‘Sex Education Assessment Scale for Vocational Students in Special Schools’ compiled by Dr. Sheng-Ru Wu and consisted of three parts: personal profile, the questionnaire for awareness of SAP, and the questionnaire for willingness to use PBs for SAP to communicate related knowledge to children and expected effectiveness.
The results of this study after t-test and single factor analysis of variance show that among parent variables, only parent age reaches significance in effectiveness of PBs, whereas the remaining variables all fail to reach significance in awareness of SAP, need for PBs and effectiveness of PBs. Additional related analyses further reveal that there is a positive correlation between awareness of SAP and the need for guiding children on SAP with PBs. Testing with linear regression suggests that learning of social experiences and gender physiology education, with their effects as mediators, are what parents rely on for their expected effectiveness of PBs for SAP for children.
The results of this study are provided as references for PB authors to encourage them to become engaged in creating PBs with SAP as the theme, and for education institutions in Taiwan to help them with promotion for the educational goals of SAP.
