本研究主要目的在瞭解大學生的背景變項、分手次數、交往時間、愛情滿意度與愛情自尊後效之間的關係。首先,探討大學生的愛情自尊後效的現況;其次,分析大學生背景變項在愛情自尊後效的差異情形;再次,探討分手次數、交往時間、愛情滿意度與愛情自尊後效之間的關係。
本研究採問卷調查研究法,以新竹市一所私立大學學生為對象,採立意抽樣,抽取500位大學生為受試者,有效樣本480份。調查工具為「大學生愛情自尊後效問卷」,蒐集的資料運用描述性統計、平均數、標準差、因素分析、信度分析、單因子單變量變異數分析、單因子變異數分析、Bonferroni事後比較法、積差相關等統計方法進行分析,獲得結論如下:
一、大學生的整體愛情自尊後效和自我評價、關係模式、關係評價等向度發展現況皆屬於中高表現。
二、女大學生在自我評價、關係模式高於男大學生。
三、大二、大三在整體愛情自尊後效高於大四學生;大一、大二在自我評價高於大四,大二在關係模式高於大四。
四、不同學院與不同交往時間的大學生在整體愛情自尊後效,以及自我評價、關係模式、關係評價皆屬於中上程度,但無顯著差異。
五、不同分手次數的大學生在整體愛情自尊後效有差異,初戀者與分手1次者高於分手2、3次者。
六、大學生的分手次數與整體愛情自尊後效、自我評價有負相關。
七、大學生的交往時間與關係評價有負相關。
八、大學生的愛情滿意度與自我評價有負相關。
