Abstract
The focus of this research is to study the relations among single-person stress, marriage attitude and life satisfaction of unmarried preschool teachers. It also investigates the relations of the single-person stress, marriage attitude and life satisfaction of unmarried preschool teachers from different backgrounds.
Questionnaires are utilized to investigate female unmarried preschool teachers at the age of 27 to 49 who live in Taipei and Taoyuan city. Three questionnaires including “Measure of Single-Person Stress for Unmarried Preschool Teachers”, “Measure of Marriage Attitude for Unmarried Preschool Teachers”, and “Measure of Life Satisfaction of Unmarried Preschool Teachers” are distributed to 450 teachers and 398 questionnaires are valid. The quantitative data has been analyzed by frequency statistics, t-test, single factor ANOVA, Pearson correlation and multiple linear regressions. The results are shown as below:
1. The stress of unmarried preschool teachers having toward “being single” is a little below than average. The major stress comes from parents while the minor stress is from relatives and friends.
2. The marriage attitude of unmarried preschool teachers is a little higher than average. They have more positive and the highest score on the feeling of marriage; however, they also have the lowest score on marriage intension.
3. As for life satisfaction, unmarried preschool teachers have the higher self-satisfaction but they are unsatisfied with the stability of their emotion.
4. Unmarried preschool teachers’ life satisfaction has also been analyzed according to different backgrounds. First, from age variation, for those who are more than 33 years old have the higher satisfaction on self, work and stability of emotion. Second, in seniority, for those who have 11 years working experiences have the higher satisfaction on self. For those who have more than 11 years working experiences have the higher satisfaction on work, and for those who have less than 5 years working experiences have the higher satisfaction on interpersonal relationship. Third, for marriage status of parents, those unmarried preschool teachers whose parents are divorced, separated and bereft of spouse have the higher satisfaction on self and the higher status of emotional stability. And those whose parents’ marriage is full-completed have the higher satisfaction on work. Fourth, for relationship with parents, those who are close to their parents have the higher satisfaction on self, work and interpersonal relationship. Fifth, for relationship with the opposite sex, those who do not have boy-friend have the higher satisfaction on self, status of emotional stability and interpersonal relationship.
5. According to the results of correlation, most dimensions of the stress of being single is negatively related to life satisfaction, while some dimensions of marriage attitude is positively related to life satisfaction.
6. From the results of multiple regression, the age of unmarried preschool teachers, the relationship with parents and the marriage attitude have significantly positive prediction on life satisfaction. The teachers who have more ages, have no boy-friend and less social stress, have significant higher satisfaction on emotional stability. For those who are close to their parents and have less social stress, have significant higher satisfaction on interpersonal relationship.
According to the results of this study, suggestions are provided for preschool teachers and family life educators. Issues for further study are also provided.
