害羞與婚姻親密度及寂寞之關係：以結構方程模式進行分析

A Study on the Relationships among Shyness%2C Marital Intimacy and Loneliness：The Analysis of Structural Equation Modeling

本研究旨在探討已婚者的害羞、婚姻親密度與寂寞之關係，檢驗害羞是否透過婚姻親密度來影 響寂寞，也就是分析婚姻親密度的中介效果，並考驗不同性別的受試在徑路模式上的等同性。本研 究以421 位已婚者為研究對象，以「害羞量表修訂版」、「婚姻親密度量表」及「寂寞量表」為研究 工具，採用結構方程模式進行統計分析。研究的主要結果如下： 1. 婚姻親密度會部分中介害羞對寂寞之影響，害羞對婚姻親密度和寂寞有直接效果，婚姻親密度對 寂寞有直接效果，而害羞會透過婚姻親密度而對寂寞有間接效果。 2. 男女生在本研究模式上具有等同性，而男女生的結構平均數並沒有顯著差異。

This study explored the relationships among shyness， marital intimacy and marital loneliness， and tested the mediating effect of marital intimacy on the relationships between shyness and loneliness. A structural model comprising shyness， marital intimacy and loneliness was constructed. Gender equivalency in the pathway model was also tested. The subjects were 421 married adults in Taiwan. Structural Equation Modeling was used to analyze the data. The results showed that: (1) marital intimacy partially mediated the relationships between shyness and loneliness. Shynessdirectlyaffectedthe subjects’ marital intimacy and loneliness， marital intimacy directlyaffected loneliness， and shyness indirectly affected loneliness through marital intimacy; and (2)thestudy modelsshowed equivalency between the different genders， with no significant gender difference in the structural means.
