The main purposes of this study were to explore the interactive relationships of undergraduates’ gratitude, social support, coping style, and subjective well-being, and further to examine a path model of these variables. The participants in this study were 750 undergraduate students in Taiwan. Moreover, the employed instruments included the Inventory of Gratitude, the Inventory of Social Support, the Inventory of Coping Style, the Inventory of Subjective Well-being, the gratitude questionnaire-6, and the Inventory of Negative Emotion. The collected data was analyzed by descriptive statistics, one-way MANOVA and SEM. The main findings of this study were as follows:1. The relationships among demographic variables, gratitude, social support, coping style, and subjective well-being.(1) Areas had no effects on the undergraduates’ gratitude, social support, coping style, and subjective well-being.(2) Undergraduate students from public universities had a higher degree of gratitude and social support than those from private universities. However, no differences were found on coping style and subjective well-being between these two groups.(3) College majors had effects on the undergraduates’ degree of gratitude, social support, coping style, and subjective well-being.(4) While the females had a higher degree of gratitude, social support, and emotion-focused positive coping than the males, the males had a higher degree of problem-focused negative coping than the females.(5) The freshmen had a higher level of informational-tangible social support than the sophomores. However, no differences were found on gratitude, coping style, and subjective well-being among the four grade levels.(6) Religious beliefs had effects on the undergraduates’ gratitude and social support, but did not have effects on their coping style and subjective well-being.2. The relationships among gratitude, social support, coping style, and subjective well-being.(1) Grateful people had a higher degree of emotional-accompanied and informational-tangible social support than less grateful ones.(2) Grateful people tended to utilize more problem-focused positive coping and emotion-focused positive coping than less grateful ones. However, less grateful people tended to utilize more emotion-focused negative coping than more grateful ones.(3) Grateful people had a higher level of life satisfaction and positive emotion than less grateful ones.(4) While gratitude, social support, and coping style positively influenced the undergraduates’ subjective well-being, gratitude positively influenced their subjective well-being via social support and coping style. In addition, while social support positively influenced their subjective well-being via coping style, coping style also positively influenced subjective well-being via social support.Finally, the researcher proposed some suggestions for education and future research.參考文獻 一、中文部分江穎盈（2009）。大學生的生活壓力、社會支持與生命意義之研究。國立政治大學教育研究所碩士論文，未出版，臺北市。呂岳霖（2005）。國立台中師範學院學生生活壓力與因應策略之研究。臺中師範學院國民教育研究所碩士論文，未出版，臺中市。呂敏昌（1993）。國中學生的生活壓力、因應方式與心理社會幸福感之關係。文化大學兒童福利學系碩士論文，未出版，臺北市。呂寶靜（2000）。老人朋友網絡支持功能之初探。社會政策與社會工作學刊，4（2），43-90。巫惠貞、巫有鎰（2001）。國小教師社會網絡、工作特性與工作滿意關聯性之研究：以臺東縣與臺北市為例。教育研究集刊，46，147-180。巫雅菁（2001）。大學生幸福感之研究。國立高雄師範大學輔導研究所碩士論文，未出版，高雄市。吳月霞（2005）。國小高年級單親兒童親子互動、社會支持與其幸福感之研究。國立嘉義大學家庭教育研究所碩士論文，未出版，嘉義市。吳英璋（1999）。生活壓力、危機、與面對死亡。中國心理學會臨床心理學組年會－創傷性壓力調適工作坊，臺北市。吳慧雯（2007）。科技工作人員的感激特質與主觀幸福感之相關研究－以社會支持和工作滿意為中介變項的路徑分析。國立新竹教育大學人資處輔導教學碩士班碩士論文，未出版，新竹市。李良哲（1997）。婚姻衝突因應行為歷程模式之驗證研究。國立政治大學學報，74，53-94。李金治（2003）。國立台灣師範大學四年級學生生活壓力、因應方式、社會支持與其身心健康之相關研究。國立台灣師範大學衛生教育研究所碩士論文，未出版，臺北市。李素菁（2002）。青少年家庭支持與幸福感之相關研究：以台中市立國中生為例。靜宜大學青少年兒童福利學系碩士論文，未出版，臺中市。李新民、鄭博真、黎建宏、張倪禎（2008）。寛恕、感恩與幸福感之潛在關聯。華醫學報，28，147-176。李靜如（2007）。大學生的成人依附、社交能力、社會支持、寂寞與憂鬱之關係。國立政治大學教育研究所博士論文，未出版，臺北市。余民寧（2006）。潛在變項模式－SIMPLIS的應用。臺北：高等教育。余郁雯（2005）。國小高年級學童同儕衝突因應策略、負向情緒經驗與幸福感之相關研究。國立高雄師範大學輔導與諮商研究所碩士論文，未出版，高雄市。邱文彬（2001）。社會支持因應效果的回顧與展望。國家科學委員會研究彙刊：人文及社會科學，11（4），311-330。邱兆宏（2004）。壓力與健康：整合分析與模式驗證之研究。高雄醫學大學行為科學研究所碩士班碩士論文，未出版，高雄市。邱皓政（2004）。結構方程模式：LISREL的理論、技術與應用。臺北：雙葉書廊。林子雯（1996）。成人學生多重角色與幸福感之相關研究。國立高雄師範大學成人教育研究所碩士論文，未出版，高雄市。林彥佑（1998）。大學生因應策略之訪談評量與調查研究。國立成功大學教育研究所碩士論文，未出版，臺南市。林莉芳（2006）。感恩經驗與目標設定對幸福感效應之研究。國立屏東教育大學教育心理與輔導學系碩士論文，未出版，屏東市。林淑芬（2007）。高中生生活壓力、社會支持與幸福感之相關研究。國立嘉義大學國民教育研究所碩士論文，未出版，嘉義市。林淑芬、王于、賴永僚(2008)。大學生身體活動態度、休閒滿意度對主觀幸福感之影響。運動休閒餐旅研究，3（2），73-85。屈寧英（2004）。高中生生活壓力、社會支持、行為模式與幸福感相關性之研究－以台北市立某女子高級中學為例。國立臺灣師範大學衛生教育研究所碩士論文，未出版，臺北市。易之新（譯）（2004）。P.

The participants in this study were 750 undergraduate students in Taiwan. Moreover, the employed instruments included the Inventory of Gratitude, the Inventory of Social Support, the Inventory of Coping Style, the Inventory of Subjective Well-being, the gratitude questionnaire-6, and the Inventory of Negative Emotion. The collected data was analyzed by descriptive statistics, one-way MANOVA and SEM. The main findings of this study were as follows:1. The relationships among demographic variables, gratitude, social support, coping style, and subjective well-being.(1) Areas had no effects on the undergraduates’ gratitude, social support, coping style, and subjective well-being.(2) Undergraduate students from public universities had a higher degree of gratitude and social support than those from private universities. However, no differences were found on coping style and subjective well-being between these two groups.(3) College majors had effects on the undergraduates’ degree of gratitude, social support, coping style, and subjective well-being.(4) While the females had a higher degree of gratitude, social support, and emotion-focused positive coping than the males, the males had a higher degree of problem-focused negative coping than the females.(5) The freshmen had a higher level of informational-tangible social support than the sophomores. However, no differences were found on gratitude, coping style, and subjective well-being among the four grade levels.(6) Religious beliefs had effects on the undergraduates’ gratitude and social support, but did not have effects on their coping style and subjective well-being.2. The relationships among gratitude, social support, coping style, and subjective well-being.(1) Grateful people had a higher degree of emotional-accompanied and informational-tangible social support than less grateful ones.(2) Grateful people tended to utilize more problem-focused positive coping and emotion-focused positive coping than less grateful ones. However, less grateful people tended to utilize more emotion-focused negative coping than more grateful ones.(3) Grateful people had a higher level of life satisfaction and positive emotion than less grateful ones.(4) While gratitude, social support, and coping style positively influenced the undergraduates’ subjective well-being, gratitude positively influenced their subjective well-being via social support and coping style. In addition, while social support positively influenced their subjective well-being via coping style, coping style also positively influenced subjective well-being via social support.Finally, the researcher proposed some suggestions for education and future research. en_US dc.description.tableofcontents 第一章 緒論 第一節 研究動機 1 第二節 研究目的 11 第三節 名詞釋義 11第二章 文獻探討 第一節 感恩 16 第二節 社會支持 31 第三節 因應型態 39 第四節 幸福感 53 第五節 感恩影響幸福感之模式 61 第六節 研究假設 78第三章 研究方法 第一節 研究架構 79 第二節 研究對象 80 第三節 研究工具 82 第四節 實施程序 91 第五節 資料分析 92第四章 研究結果 第一節 初步資料分析 98 第二節 感恩特質與社會支持、因應型態、幸福感 113 第三節 感恩影響幸福感之模式驗證 116第五章 討論、結論與建議 第一節 討論 133 第二節 結論 152 第三節 建議 154參考書目 一、中文部分 160 二、英文部分 164附錄附錄A 預試問卷 178附錄B 感恩特質量表之發展 184附錄C 社會支持量表之發展 195附錄D 因應型態量表之發展 203附錄E 幸福感量表之修訂 213附錄F GQ-6量表之修訂 221附錄G 負向情緒量表之修訂 227附錄H 正式問卷 235附錄I 感恩特質量表擬題雙向細目表（面向Ｘ成份） 240 zh_TW dc.format.extent 1246718 bytes - dc.format.mimetype application/pdf - dc.language.iso en_US - dc.source.uri (資料來源) http://thesis.lib.nccu.edu.tw/record/#G0094152513 en_US dc.subject (關鍵詞) 感恩 zh_TW dc.subject (關鍵詞) 社會支持 zh_TW dc.subject (關鍵詞) 因應 zh_TW dc.subject (關鍵詞) 幸福感 zh_TW dc.subject (關鍵詞) gratitude en_US dc.subject (關鍵詞) social support en_US dc.subject (關鍵詞) coping en_US dc.subject (關鍵詞) subjective well-being en_US dc.title (題名) 大學生感恩特質及其與社會支持、因應型態及幸福感之關係 zh_TW dc.title (題名) The Relationships among Undergraduates’ Gratitude, Social Support, Coping Style, and Subjective Well-being en_US dc.type (資料類型) thesis en dc.relation.reference (參考文獻) 一、中文部分江穎盈（2009）。大學生的生活壓力、社會支持與生命意義之研究。國立政治大學教育研究所碩士論文，未出版，臺北市。呂岳霖（2005）。國立台中師範學院學生生活壓力與因應策略之研究。臺中師範學院國民教育研究所碩士論文，未出版，臺中市。呂敏昌（1993）。國中學生的生活壓力、因應方式與心理社會幸福感之關係。文化大學兒童福利學系碩士論文，未出版，臺北市。呂寶靜（2000）。老人朋友網絡支持功能之初探。社會政策與社會工作學刊，4（2），43-90。巫惠貞、巫有鎰（2001）。國小教師社會網絡、工作特性與工作滿意關聯性之研究：以臺東縣與臺北市為例。教育研究集刊，46，147-180。巫雅菁（2001）。大學生幸福感之研究。國立高雄師範大學輔導研究所碩士論文，未出版，高雄市。吳月霞（2005）。國小高年級單親兒童親子互動、社會支持與其幸福感之研究。國立嘉義大學家庭教育研究所碩士論文，未出版，嘉義市。吳英璋（1999）。生活壓力、危機、與面對死亡。中國心理學會臨床心理學組年會－創傷性壓力調適工作坊，臺北市。吳慧雯（2007）。科技工作人員的感激特質與主觀幸福感之相關研究－以社會支持和工作滿意為中介變項的路徑分析。國立新竹教育大學人資處輔導教學碩士班碩士論文，未出版，新竹市。李良哲（1997）。婚姻衝突因應行為歷程模式之驗證研究。國立政治大學學報，74，53-94。李金治（2003）。國立台灣師範大學四年級學生生活壓力、因應方式、社會支持與其身心健康之相關研究。國立台灣師範大學衛生教育研究所碩士論文，未出版，臺北市。李素菁（2002）。青少年家庭支持與幸福感之相關研究：以台中市立國中生為例。靜宜大學青少年兒童福利學系碩士論文，未出版，臺中市。李新民、鄭博真、黎建宏、張倪禎（2008）。寛恕、感恩與幸福感之潛在關聯。華醫學報，28，147-176。李靜如（2007）。大學生的成人依附、社交能力、社會支持、寂寞與憂鬱之關係。國立政治大學教育研究所博士論文，未出版，臺北市。余民寧（2006）。潛在變項模式－SIMPLIS的應用。臺北：高等教育。余郁雯（2005）。國小高年級學童同儕衝突因應策略、負向情緒經驗與幸福感之相關研究。國立高雄師範大學輔導與諮商研究所碩士論文，未出版，高雄市。邱文彬（2001）。社會支持因應效果的回顧與展望。國家科學委員會研究彙刊：人文及社會科學，11（4），311-330。邱兆宏（2004）。壓力與健康：整合分析與模式驗證之研究。高雄醫學大學行為科學研究所碩士班碩士論文，未出版，高雄市。邱皓政（2004）。結構方程模式：LISREL的理論、技術與應用。臺北：雙葉書廊。林子雯（1996）。成人學生多重角色與幸福感之相關研究。國立高雄師範大學成人教育研究所碩士論文，未出版，高雄市。林彥佑（1998）。大學生因應策略之訪談評量與調查研究。國立成功大學教育研究所碩士論文，未出版，臺南市。林莉芳（2006）。感恩經驗與目標設定對幸福感效應之研究。國立屏東教育大學教育心理與輔導學系碩士論文，未出版，屏東市。林淑芬（2007）。高中生生活壓力、社會支持與幸福感之相關研究。國立嘉義大學國民教育研究所碩士論文，未出版，嘉義市。林淑芬、王于、賴永僚(2008)。大學生身體活動態度、休閒滿意度對主觀幸福感之影響。運動休閒餐旅研究，3（2），73-85。屈寧英（2004）。高中生生活壓力、社會支持、行為模式與幸福感相關性之研究－以台北市立某女子高級中學為例。國立臺灣師範大學衛生教育研究所碩士論文，未出版，臺北市。易之新（譯）（2004）。P.
