青少年早期社會關係與其心理健康、偏差行爲、快樂感相關性之探討

This article investigated the relationship among young adolescents' social relationships, mental health, deviant behaviors, and happiness. The first wave of junior high school student data sets from the Taiwan Education Panel Survey were utilized. The participants were selected by multiple-stage sampling. The final sample consisted of 13,978 young adolescents who were 7th grade students. The measurements applied in the study included Social Relationship Scale, Mental Health Scale, Deviant Behaviors Scale and Happiness Scale. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation and pathway analysis. Major findings were as follows: The parent-child relationship in young adolescents' social relationships and teacher-student relationships can influence their mental health, deviant behaviors and happiness directly, and by influencing their mental health, also influence their deviant behavior and happiness indirectly. But the peer relationship in social relationships does not influence deviant behaviors through mental health. Findings show that simultaneous promotion of parent-child, peer, and teacher-student relationships can enhance young adolescents' mental health and happiness, and reduce their deviant behaviors. Future community nurses and school nurses should strengthen and develop positive parent-child, peer, teacher-student relationships, design adolescent health policy, and provide intervention for young adolescents' social relationship. In addition, pediatric nurses should offer parenting education to parents in appropriate moments.
