家庭功能與職業規劃自我效能之間的聯繫：基於理論與測量的視角

Beavers, Hamson, & Hulgus (1990)開發了自我報告家庭量表(SFI)來評估家庭功能。該問卷的中文版本由Shek (1998)在香港的被試中驗證和發展。儘管SFI已被廣泛用於臨床心理學，病理學和家庭研究中，以評估家庭功能及其與心理健康及其他相關變數的關係，但將其擴展到教育領域以及將積極的家庭功能與學生的職業相關的變數聯繫起來的研究十分匱乏，更不用說在這方面有針對特殊教育需求的學生進行的研究。基於兩項研究，我們不僅是為研究人員和從業人員提供簡化的篩查工具(評估家庭健康的4個專案)，以測試具有特殊教育需求的學生的積極家庭功能，而且還將先前的研究擴展到測量家庭健康與有特殊教育學生職業規劃自我效能之間的關係。從評估的角度來看，Rasch模型用於測試家庭健康量表(簡稱FH)的心理測量特性。理論方面引入Lent, Brown, & Hackett (2002)的社會認知職業理論(SCCT)，並將家庭健康與職業規劃聯繫起來。結果表明，簡版家庭健康量表(4項)與長版(22項)顯著相關(r = 0.94)，並且具有更好的心理測量特性。結果也顯示家庭健康是有特殊教育需要的學生職業生涯規劃自我效能的重要預測指標。該結果對研究具有不同學業能力的學生的家庭健康和與職業相關的變數均具有理論和實踐應用意義。
Self-Report Family Inventory (SFI) was developed by Beavers, Hamson, & Hulgus (1990) to assess family functioning. Its Chinese version was developed by Shek (1998) in Hong Kong participants. Although SFI has been widely used in clinical psychology, psychiatry and family studies to assess family functioning and its association with mental health and other related variables, considerably less research has been done to extend it to education and link positive family functioning with students’ career-related outcomes, let alone research on students with special educational needs. Based on two studies, we aimed to provide not only a parsimonious screening instrument (4 items to assess family health) for researchers and practitioners to test positive family functioning of students with special educational needs (SEN), but also extend previous research to examine the relationship between family health and career planning self-efficacy of SEN students. From an assessment perspective, Rasch model was used to test psychometric properties of the short form of family health (FH). Linking family health to career planning, Lent, Brown, & Hackett’s (2002) social cognitive career theory (SCCT) was introduced and used. The results showed the 4-item family health scale is significantly correlated (r = 0.94) with the long version (22 items) and has better psychometric properties. Family health was also found as a significant predictor of SEN students’ career planning self-efficacy. The results have both theoretical and practical impactions to study family health and career-related variables in students with diverse academic abilities.
