碩士 === 國立臺北大學 === 社會學系 === 106 === This paper analyzes the factors influencing adolescent behaviors and parent-child relationships based on the parents' teaching by example and advice. The source of information is the material from the study titled "The Cause of Drug Abuse among Adolescents – Using the Social Learning Model as the Example," which was hosted by Professor Wu Qi-Yin for the National Health Research Institute (NHRI) under the Department of Health. In terms of the research framework, parents’ teaching by example (negative teaching by example) and advice (including positive discipline and negative discipline) are taken as the independent variables, while "adolescent problem behavior" and "parent-child relationships” are taken as the dependent variables. The data obtained from the research are analyzed using the statistical software of SPSS 20.0. The statistical methods include descriptive statistical analysis, bivariate correlation analysis and linear regression analysis. The research findings are set out as follows: 1. The more the negative behaviors among parents, the higher the proportion of adolescents with problematic behaviors. 2. The more the negative behaviors among parents, the worse the parent-child relationships relatively, and vice versa. 3. Teaching by advice in either the positive discipline or the negative discipline does not have a significant effect on the emergence of adolescent problem behavior. 4. In general, poor parenting can easily destroy the relationship between parents and children, while proper discipline and supervision have positive support without negative effects on the parent-child interaction. 5. The gender exhibit a certain degree of importance for adolescents. A parent of a gender identical to that of the adolescent can be more influential than a parent of the opposite gender. This study makes recommendations based on the said findings for future reference.
