本研究旨在了解國內36月齡幼兒的安全依附、情緒能力與社會能力之間的關係，並探討情緒能力在安全依附與社會能力之間的中介效果。本研究採用臺灣幼兒發展調查資料庫建置計畫所釋出的36月齡幼兒組父母問卷資料，研究對象為臺灣本島36月齡幼兒，刪除不合適之樣本後，有效樣本共2,092筆。透過SPSS 25版進行描述性統計、獨立樣本t檢定、單因子變異數分析、Pearson積差相關及Hayes的中介模型檢定，研究結果如下：
一、不同性別幼兒在「安全依附」、「情緒能力」與「社會能力」得分上有顯著差異。女性幼兒在「安全依附」、「情緒能力」與「社會能力」得分上均顯著高於男性幼兒。
二、不同開始接受托育年齡的幼兒在「安全依附」得分未有顯著差異。
三、幼兒「安全依附」與「情緒能力」、「社會能力」呈正相關；幼兒「情緒能力」與「社會能力」呈正相關。
四、幼兒「情緒能力」及其各層面在「安全依附」與「社會能力」之扮演部分中介的角色。
最後，本研究依據結果提出對實務及在未來研究上的建議。
The main purpose of this study was to explore the relationship among children’s safe attachment, emotional competence and social competence, as well as investigating the mediating effect of children’s emotional competence on the relationship between children’s safe attachment and social competence. This study was based on the parent’s questionnaire data of 36 months old children collected by Kids in Taiwan: National Longitudinal Study of Child Development and Care. After excluding the invalid data, there finally were 2,092 valid samples. The data was analyzed by descriptive statistics, independent sample t-test, ANOVA, Pearson product-moment correlation, and Hayes’s PROCESS model 4 with SPSS 25. The findings were summarized as follows:
1.There were significant differences on children’s “safe attachment”, “emotional competence” and “social competence” between the gender of children. For female children, the testing scores on the factors of “safe attachment”, “emotional competence” and “social competence” are higher than male children.
2.There were nonsignificant differences on children’s “safe attachment” among the age of children beginning having non-parental care.
3.There were positive correlations among children’s “safe attachment”, “emotional competence” and “social competence”.
4.Children’s “emotional competence” and all its aspects play partial mediator role on the relationship between “safe attachment” and “social competence”.
Finally, according to the results, this study provided some suggestions for the practice and further research.
