本研究旨在探討兒童A型行為組型之多向性(multidimensionality),並以自我態度;自我效能及學業成就為效標驗證之。受試者為台北縣汐止國小四年級學生,有效樣本248人。 本研究之相關分析結果顯示:以A型量表與自我態度求相關,則發現A型總分與自我態度呈零相關;但深究A型量表中,「努力競爭與成就」與「攻擊性與敵意」彼此互相獨立且不相干,但二者又同等貢獻於總分。因此,兒童A型行為並非為一整體性(global)概念,而具有多向性屬性。在自我效能與學業成就表現等變項上,亦發現類似結果。 進一步將A/B型分成不同組型時,在變異數分析上的確發現,有別於傳統A型傾向者(高敵意高成就)被視為不健康;有毒(toxic)的形象,具備「低敵意高成就」特質者,其心理健康狀態較佳且學業表現良好,堪稱為優質的A型。 The purpose of this study is to assess the multidimensionality of Type A Behavior Pattern (TABP) in children. The subjects are 248 fourth graders in Shi-Chi elementary school. The correlation between the total score in Type A scale and self-attitude is not significant. However, probe into the correlation between the three subscales shows that competition-achievement, and aggression-hostility subscales are heterogeneous but equally contribute to total score in Type A scale. Therefore, this finding also shows that Type A behavior in children is not a global concept, but a multidimensional concept. The similar findings were proved in other variables (self-efficiency and academic achievement). Besides, when we separate the subjects into four groups, which are: the ANOVA outcome shows that the low hostility/high achievement children are mentally healthier and perform better than children in the other three groups. This study shows that Type A with fine character do exists.
