本研究由青少年知覺之角度加以探討其如何詮釋父母間衝突之反應行為、其面對父母衝突之感受、以及其是否會介入父母間衝突，哪些因素會影響其介入方式，因此本研究乃進行問卷調查研究，以全台灣國中一年級至三年級學生為母群，採分層隨機取樣的方法進行抽樣，共抽59班。總計得有效問卷為1874份。經進行分析後，得到之主要結果為：1.青少年所知覺父母衝突之因應行為，大多是用隱忍及主動道歉來避免衝突激化，且大多在事後用主動道歉、間接示好等方式來結束衝突。2.感受方面：由問卷結果顯示青少年面對父母衝突時，易感到無力感、同情、害怕及厭煩；女生情緒反應強度高於男生；在與其相關之事件易感到害怕及委屈。3.介入方面：青少年近四成未介入父母衝突，若介入傾向用間接介入或事後介入與其相關與未解決之衝突事件，其介入理由以轉移注意及擔心父母關係惡化為主。

The purpose of this study was to investigate the adolescents' feelings toward inter-parental conflicts, and the ways that the adolescents tried to intervene when facing inter-parental conflicts. A questionnaire was administered to 1874 junior-high school students. The results show: 1. The majority responses to inter-parental conflicts were attempts to avoid intensifying the conflicts. Most conflicts resolutions were attempted to after the events. These consisted of one side presenting apology indirectly showing good will, or following the will of the other. 2. Most adolescents, especially of females, felt helpless, sad, disgusted, and scared when they faced with inter-parental conflicts. Partially resolved and unresolved inter-parental conflicts would elicit more sadness, anger, and disgust and more intervention from adolescents. 3. Most adolescents did not intervene in inter-parental conflicts. However, if they did, either indirectly during the events or afterward, most of were concerned about the deterioration of inter-parental relationship. Based on results, recommendations are presented for future research and education.
