第五章 討論與建議
第三節 研究限制
一、研究設計
本研究設計屬前研究設計中之「單一組別前、後測」設計,無法排除方 案以外的影響因素(例如:前、後測中填寫量表本身的學習效應),因此無 法肯定統計分析上的改變均來自參與方案本身。
二、研究流程
本研究受限於時間,無法進行更長期的追蹤研究,瞭解夫妻參與 PREP 婚姻教育方案後長期婚姻關係的改變。
其次,主要的夫妻訪談都安排在課程結束之後不久,對於追蹤測量中所 發現成效欠佳的夫妻,也因時間緣故,未再邀請夫妻訪談,因此對於方案結 束之後夫妻關係的變化情形,本研究未能掌握。
三、研究樣本
本研究共招募 29 對夫妻,扣除未填後測、追蹤問卷者之後,樣本數過 少,無法進行更深入的統計分析,對於影響學習成效的因素無法作進一步探 討。
四、研究工具
在研究工具上,雖然本研究採用「信心量表」、「堪薩斯婚姻滿意度量表」
及「關係動力量表」作為主要的量化評估工具,但由於缺乏可長時間陪同進 行客觀觀察的第三者,因此課程帶領、訪談及分析均由研究者本人進行,特 別在田野記錄、夫妻訪談方陎所取得的資料有偏頗的可能性。

研究說明
本研究全名為「PREP婚姻教育方案成效與實施之評估」,是本人 在國立台灣師範大學人類發展與家庭研究所的碩士論文題目。主要研 究目的,是評估PREP這個由西方所發展的婚姻教育方案,在台灣的實 施成效。
本研究的主要研究方法,包括針對個人問卷(課程前後)及夫妻 訪談資料的分析。希望透過此研究,幫助日後在台灣婚姻教育的實務 工作者,作為在選擇方案及實施上的參考。
對於問卷及訪談的資料,將於建檔之後銷毀;結果也將以整體、
匿名的方式呈現,對於夫妻與個人的資料絕對保密。感謝您們的配合 參與。
