本研究旨在探討不同家庭結構學生之運動參與程度與憂鬱傾向研究---以雲林縣國中為例,並透過研究比較背景變項在運動參與程度與憂鬱傾向間的差異,以了解不同家庭結構對學生運動參與程度與憂鬱傾向之影響力。本研究採用問卷調查法,引用信世傑(2003)之運動參與問卷,並採用鄭泰安醫師翻譯的「CES-D中文版」之憂鬱量表。受試對象以雲林縣國中二年級學生為研究對象,年齡以界於12~14歲不等的青少年為主,樣本發放1000份,回收之有效問卷766份。本研究的主要結論如下: (一)性別對運動參與程度存在顯著差異,男生在運動參與程度上顯著高於女生。(二)性別對憂鬱傾向程度存在顯著差異,女生在憂鬱傾向上顯著高於男生。(三)家庭結構在憂鬱傾向上存在顯著差異,單親、新住民家庭的學生在憂鬱傾向上顯著高於雙親家庭的學生;不過單親與新住民家庭彼此無顯著差異。(四)「家庭結構影響青少年學生的憂鬱傾向會比運動參與程度多寡來的有影響力」,健全的雙親家庭對於青少年的憂鬱傾向有著舉足輕重的地位,及便是單親與新住民家庭學生的運動參與程度高,但其憂鬱傾向亦呈正向反應。 A junior high school in Taiwan’s Yunlin County was used as the example in this study, which aimed to determine the exercise participation and depressive tendency of students from different family structures. In addition, this study compared the differences between the background variables of students’ exercise participation levels and depressive tendencies to understand the effect of different family structures on student exercise participation and depressive tendency. The study administered a questionnaire survey, which comprised an exercise participation questionnaire developed by Shinn Shyh-Jye (2003) and the Chinese version of the Centre for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale translated by Andrew Tai-Ann Cheng. The study participants were grade 8 students, their ages ranging from 12 to 14 years, recruited from a junior high school in Yunlin County. A total of 1,000 questionnaires were distributed, with 766 valid questionnaires retrieved. The major conclusions of this study are as follows:(a) Exercise participation exhibited significant gender differences, and male students demonstrated a significantly higher level of exercise participation than female students did. (b) Depressive tendency showed significant gender differences, and female students exhibited a significantly higher level of depressive tendency than male students did.(c) Depressive tendency displayed significant differences in family structure, and students from single families or new immigrant families exhibited a higher level of depressive tendency than did students from two-parent families; however, no significant difference existed between students from single families and those from new immigrant families.(d) Family structure displayed a greater effect than did exercise participation on the depressive tendency of adolescent students. Whether adolescents were from stable, two-parent families exerted a pivotal influence on their depressive tendencies. Furthermore, students from single families or new immigrant families exhibited depressive tendencies even if they showed high levels of exercise participation.
