中文摘要

本研究旨在探討大學生情侶知覺自身與對方所採取的衝突因應對關係滿意度造成的影響,並進一 步探討關係滿意度高之情侶其衝突經驗內涵。研究方法採用先量後質的混合研究設計;研究一以 67 對大學生情侶作為研究對象,以「個人衝突因應策略量表」和「關係滿意度量表」為研究工具, 再以階層線性迴歸模式(hierarchical linear modeling, HLM)進行行動者與伴侶相依模式(actorpartner interdependence model, APIM)之對偶分析,研究結果發現:1. 男、女性採取「整合型」因 應策略;或女性採取「謙讓型」之因應策略對關係滿意度具行動者與伴侶效果之正面影響;2. 女 性採取「支配型」因應策略具行動者與伴侶效果之負面影響。基於上述研究結果,研究二以關係 滿意度高的 2 對情侶為研究對象(男、女皆為「整合型」,與男為「整合型」、女為「謙讓型」), 透過半結構之深度訪談進行資料蒐集,再以敘事研究中「整體—內容」進行質性資料對偶分析, 研究結果發現:1. 即時的溝通與謙讓的態度有助於情侶間的正向溝通;2. 衝突因應受過去經驗影 響,但伴侶的正向態度可牽動另一方建設性的回應;3. 衝突因應策略難以單一量表來評定,衝突 因應亦受交往經驗的影響而呈現相互性與動態的變化。最後,針對研究結果分別對大學生情侶衝 突的相關研究及諮商實務工作提出建議。

英文摘要

Intimate partnership violence or murder cases have never been rare in our society. Intimate relationship conflict is a crucial issue across the lifespan, even as early as early adulthood. According to Erikson’s theory of psychosocial development, early adulthood, including the college stage, is an essential period for individuals to learn how to establish loving relationships with others (Meacham & Santilli, 1982). Developing a healthy conflict-coping strategy while interacting with a partner can contribute to better mental well-being and intimate relationships (Kansky & Allen, 2018). The adoption of various conflict coping strategies is associated with the conflict experience in one’s family of origin, motives for romantic relationships, attachment styles, and romantic passion (David et al., 2019; Huang, 2010; Paquette et al., 2020; Reese-Weber & Marchand, 2002). Additionally, Chang and Luo (2007) reported managing conflict as a significant factor in the satisfaction of romantic relationships. More positive, integrated, or empathetic conflict coping strategies lead to higher relationship satisfaction and longer romantic relationships. More negative, aggressive, or withdrawal conflict coping strategies lead to a lack of security and stability and even lower relationship satisfaction (Burk & Seiffge-Krenke, 2015; Johnson et al., 2018; Perrone-McGovern et al., 2014; Shulman et al., 2006). Given the critical period of the college stage in the development of intimacy and the vital impact of conflict coping strategies, it is worth focusing on college students' thoughts and experiences in romantic relationships simultaneously while encountering conflicts, especially bidirectional influence between partners. This study aimed to explore the impact of college students’ own and their partners’ conflict coping strategies on their perceived relationship satisfaction. The study adopted a two-phase mixed-method research design. Study 1 aimed to examine the impact of conflict coping strategies on relationship satisfaction among college students in romantic relationships from a dyadic perspective. It involved quantitative research, where data were collected from 67 dyads of college students in stable romantic relationships. The “Individual Conflict Coping Strategy Scale” and the “Relationship Satisfaction Scale” were used to collect quantitative data. Hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) was used to conduct the actor-partner interdependence model (APIM). The results of study 1 are as follows: First, positive actor and partner effects of conflict coping strategies were found on participants’ relationship satisfaction when the male or female partners used an “integrating” conflict coping strategy and the female partners used an “obliging” conflict coping strategy. Second, negative actor and partner effects of conflict coping strategies were found on participants’ relationship satisfaction when the female partners used a “dominating” conflict coping strategy. Based on the findings from study 1, study 2 involved qualitative research. It further invited two dyads of participants with high relationship satisfaction to explore their bidirectional experience in conflict coping strategies and relationship satisfaction
