High and Elementary School Teachers' Psychological Well-Being in Taiwan: Compared with Other Occupations

鑒於過去有關教師心理幸福之研究，多只針對教師樣本進行探討，本研究特將中小學教師獨立出來與其他職業做比較，依據「三期三次社會變遷調查??社會網絡與社區組」的資料做路徑分析，探究職業及教育等自變項，是如何透過社會網絡中介變項，而對心理幸福產生影響，並藉此拓展教育社會學的研究主題。主要研究發現為：(1)與其他職業相較，中小學教師的憂鬱感與成就感最高，而人際疏離感則偏低。(2)大致而言，中小學教師在網絡結構變項上皆占有優勢，這有助於心理幸福的增進。(3)中小學教師憂鬱感最高的原因，是因女性多且未婚比率偏高。(4)「教育」對心理幸福的影響未如預期的大。
