自我基模特性與心理健康之關係暨禪修對兩者的影響歷程之研究：以高中職學生為例=The Relationships between Self Schema and Mental Health among High-School Students, and the Influence of Zen Meditation
The present research had a double purposes: first, to explore the relationships between mental health and identification with one's "self-nature" as presented in the Zen system of Hui-Neng; second, to examine the possible impact of Zen meditation, in terms of mental health upon characteristics of one's self-schema. First Part of the Study The group-comparison strategy was adopted. Out of a total of 891 high school students, 54 were selected and then divided into three groups according to their degree of mental health. Two instruments were used, namely, the Perception Habit Scale(PHS), and the Twenty-Sentence-Test about Self (TSTS). The data of the PHS were analyzed by one-way ANOVA. By coding the content of the TSTS according to the self-schema characteristics, there were four variables: types of emotion, objects of identification, ways of perception, and levels of object-relationship.

With regard to the self-schema characteristics, significant differences between the three groups were revealed. Among the subjects of the more healthy groups were a significantly greater balance between individual and social identity, the higher level of object-relationships, the harmony of emotions, and more positive feelings. Besides, they had less negative feelings .As a whole, the self-schema of the more healthy groups were more correlated to those self-schema typical of an identification with one's "self nature as presented in the Zen system of Hui-Neng. Second Part of the Study For this part of the study, three different strategies were adopted. The first one consisted in a pre-post test of two unequal groups. The experimental group was constituted of 8 high-school students who, for this experiment, participated in a four-day Zen Meditation Program. The control group was formed of 14 other high-school students. The following scales were used: the Perception Habit Scale(PHS), the Heath Scale (HS) and the Nervousness Scale (NS). The data were analyzed through the use of one-way ANOVA. As in the first part of the study, the same fou
