The purpose of this study was to explore the attachment relationship and self-efficacy of the junior high school students in the Taitung area, as well as the differences and correlations between the attachment relationship and self-efficacy of the junior high school students with different background variables. In this study, a questionnaire survey was conducted on 610 students selected by stratified random sampling from the junior high schools in the Taitung area. The collected data were analyzed by various statistical methods, including descriptive statistical analysis, independent sample t-test, one way ANOVA, Pearson product-moment correlation, and multiple regression analysis.
The major findings are listed as follows: 1. In the attachment relationship scale of the junior high school students in the Taitung area, the “trust” factor had the highest score, while the “alienation” factor had the lowest score. On the other hand, in the self-efficacy scale, “self-understanding and correct evaluation” had the highest score, while “goal setting and problem solving” had the lowest score.
2. Among the different background variables in the attachment relationship scale, gender, school area, grade, ethnicity, parental education, and family socio-economic status were found to achieve partial significant differences. On the other hand, in the self-efficacy scale, gender and family socio-economic status were also found to achieve partial significant differences, while there was no significant difference in other variables.
3. There was a positive correlation between the attachment relationship and self-efficacy of the junior high school students in the Taitung area.
4. The attachment relationship and self-efficacy of the junior high school students in the Taitung area had a predictive power but a low explanatory power.
Lastly, based on the conclusions, this study suggests recommendations for parents to enhance their parental education, and also hopes to be used as a reference for school’s career counseling and for future relevant research.
