厦门市初中生生命意义感发展特点的现状调查

Evolution pattern and status quo about sense of meaning in life:a survey among junior high school students in Xiamen

目的通过分析初中生生命意义感的发展特点,为学校开展生命教育提供参考。方法采用整群抽样的方式对福建省厦门市3所中学2842名学生的生命意义感发展情况进行调查。结果在2482名初中生中,466名(16.40%)的初中生具有高生命意义感;随着年级的增高,初中生的生命意义感总分下降差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);初中生生命意义感在不同性别、是否独生子女、不同家庭结构间差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论学校亟需开展提升初中生生命意义感的教育,尤其应关注九年级学生、女生及单亲、重组家庭的学生。
