題目:Studying Hard and Getting Good Grades: Perceived Parental Achievement Goals in an East Asian Society
講者:張泰銓
摘要:

Background. Academic effort and outcome goals were mostly regarded as part of mastery or performance goal in the Western literature. However, with Confucian heritage and traditional emphasis on educational attainment, effort and outcome goal may be independent goal constructs in East Asian societies.

Aim. This study examined the reliability and validity of the newly developed questionnaire for perceived parental effort and outcome goals (PPEOG). We would test whether a four-factor model of effort, outcome, mastery, and performance goals is best in explaining the data and whether PPEOG holds unique contribution to students’ academic adjustment.

Sample. Two samples of Taiwanese students (mean age = 20.58, 19.83 years) participated in this study. Sample 1 consisted of 110 students and was only used for examining test-retest reliability. Sample 2 comprised 323 students.

Method. The four perceived parental goals were measured by the questionnaire of PPEOG and the subscales of parent mastery goal and parent performance goal in the Patterns of Adaptive Learning Scale (PALS). Students’ own goal orientations and behavior were measured by “Personal Achievement Goal Orientations - Revised” and ‘Academic Self-Handicapping Strategies’ from PALS.

Results. Results of confirmatory factor analysis supported the four-factor model. Hierarchical regression indicated perceived parental effort goal uniquely and positively predicted students’ self-handicapping behaviors. Perceived parental outcome goal would promote better academic adjustment if it is accompanied with high perceived parental mastery goal.

Conclusion. In East Asian societies, perceived parental effort and outcome goals hold distinct predictability on students’ academic adjustment and are goal constructs distinct from mastery and performance goals.

題目:Change in Life Satisfaction During Adulthood: Findings From Panel Study of Family Dynamics in Taiwan
講者:劉蓉果
摘要:
This study examined the relation between aging and life satisfaction across the lifespan among Taiwanese people. Using data from 6 waves of “Panel Study of Family Dynamics" in Taiwan (age 23-72, n=5,448, 2007-2012), we fitted multilevel growth curve models to examine the cohort differences and individual aging effect on life satisfaction, as well as factors that may account for change in life satisfaction. Results showed that older cohorts and younger cohorts felt more satisfied with their lives than middle-aged cohorts (a U-shaped pattern), even after taking into account the relevant covariates, including marital status, work status, and physical health. During this 6-year period, individual aging effects on life satisfaction were observed with improvement. This positive relation was the greatest in older cohorts. Finally we identified that gender, together with some important psychosocial factors such as family efficacy, family relations, and personality traits, were significantly associated with life satisfaction.
