本研究欲探討台灣青少年的自慰知識與態度之關係。本研究採自擬「青少年自慰知識量表」與「青少年自慰負面態度量表」為研究工具。以分層集束抽樣的方法，收集高雄市高中職三年級學生共780人，有效問卷755人，回收率約96.8%。研究結果(1)95.3% 男生及30.3%女生曾有自慰行為；(2)自慰知識與學制、色情資訊接觸頻率、性行為、同性同儕性溝通在統計上有顯著差異；(3)自慰態度的相關因子包括學制、性別、色情資訊接觸頻率、同儕性溝通、性行為、自慰行為等變項；(4)自慰知識與自慰態度呈現正相關；(5)學制為「自慰知識」的預測因子其解釋變異量為15.4%，而自慰知識、自慰行為、色情資訊接觸頻率、性行為為「自慰態度」的預測因子，整體解釋變異量為39.5%。研究結果可協助學校教職員及父母較深入瞭解青少年的自慰知識與態度。

The main purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between masturbatory knowledge and masturbatory attitudes among Taiwan adolescents. This study was based on a structured questionnaire survey that used the Adolescent Masturbatory Knowledge Inventory (AMKI) and the Adolescent Negative Attitude toward Masturbation Inventory (ANAMI). Subjects were recruited from the third grade of high school and vocational school students aged 17-18 living in Kaohsiung (southern Taiwan) using stratified and cluster sampling approaches. Seven hundred and eighty questionnaires were sent out, with a 96.8% response rate. A total of 95.3% of male subjects and 30.3% of female subjects reported having masturbation experience. Masturbatory knowledge was significantly related to the variables ”school system”, ”frequency of viewing pornographic media”, ”status of being sexually active”, and ”conversation about sex with friends”. Masturbatory attitudes were significantly associated with the same variables as well as with gender and masturbatory behavior. Masturbatory attitudes were positively correlated with masturbatory knowledge. The school system explained 15.4% of masturbatory knowledge variance. Masturbatory knowledge, masturbatory behavior, frequency of viewing pornographic media and status of being sexually active explained 39.5% of masturbatory attitude variance. In conclusion, adolescents in Taiwan hold positive attitudes toward masturbation and reported having insufficient knowledge regarding masturbation. Results can assist school staffs and parents to gain a deeper understanding of adolescents' knowledge about and attitudes toward masturbation.
