第三章 綜合討論
第四節 研究限制與未來研究方向
壹、情感調節策略之測量
在本研究中關於情感調節策略的測量,為研究者翻譯自 Larsen 與 Prizmic
(2004)發展之情感調節風格量表(The Measure of Affect Regulation Styles, MARS)。在國中生樣本上,以驗證性因素分析檢驗在大學生樣本所得之四因子 模式的結果,整體模式適配度不佳。經參考模式修正指標及理論基礎之共同考量 下,將量表進行修正,雖然修正後之六因子模式的整體適配度提升,仍有其中一
57
指標未能符合學者之建議;另外,雖然各因素符合學者建議之最低變項數目的要 求(翁儷禎,1995),但不同因素的題數差距大,可能影響結構之穩定性。雖然,
在後續信效度檢驗方面,顯示量表所測量之概念尚稱穩定,但對於結果仍需做保 守的推論。另外,原量表設計之初並非以青少年族群為主,可能無法完整反映出 國中生的情感調節策略特性;但,該測量工具將正向情感調節納入探討著實為其 一大優點。未來研究上,或許可再思考國中生情感調節發展的特徵,以建立出更 適合作為青少年情感調節策略研究之良好測量工具。
貳、統計分析方法之考量
在本研究中同時探討了個體在日常生活中的正負向情感調節,在分析情感調 節策略對正負向情感改變的效果時,採取將正負向情感獨立開來,以階層迴歸分 析進行檢驗,但正負向情感間其實並非完全獨立,因此就某些調節策略而言,無 法確知其效用是對正向情感增加還是使負向情感減少。不過雖有上述限制,以下 兩原因仍顯本研究之結果有其效度,其一是正負向情感雖然有顯著相關(r = -.33,
p < .001)
,但彼此之間互相解釋之變異量僅 10%,顯示兩種情感並非單純在一個向度兩的兩端,分開討論有其必要。其二,研究結果顯示,不同調節策略對於正 負向情感有不同的效果,如:「社交」策略可預測正向情感的提升,但對負向情 感的下降則無預測效果。此結果顯示,部分策略可能僅對於正向或負向情感調節 有效。其中的詳細機制,未來宜另做專文研究探討。
参、研究樣本
本研究樣本之取樣,在現實環境條件的限制下,為研究者透過便利取樣招 募,以高雄市某兩所公立國中之學生為樣本,因此,樣本無法代表全台的國中生。
未來若能將樣本拓展,增加不同縣市之樣本研究,應能增加研究之類推性。
58
肆、未來研究方向
在本研究由個體之情感差距、情感調節策略使用的個別差異觀點切入,探討 個體情感調節經驗與憂鬱的關聯,但並非意指這樣就能足以解釋青少年個體的情 感調節歷程。情感調節歷程其實涉及更龐大且複雜的內涵,如:情感的覺察和瞭 解;接納自身的情感反應;能配合情境彈性的使用適當的調節策略等。未來或許 可由不同角度切入探討,以朝向建構更完整而全面性瞭解青少年的情感調節。
