重新认识身边的男孩

邢小萍 台北市永安国小校长

  我是位小学校长,最喜欢观察校园中孩子的各种学习活动,当孩子们走进我的办公室,最先看到的一定是书,然后小男孩就会关注到我办公桌上的弹珠台、扭蛋机和机器人,确实和小女生不大相同!我自己有两个女儿,虽然没有教养儿子的经验,但是从心理学家萨克斯医生的笔下,让我得以应证教学近四十年的观察──性别差异是真实存在的!

  一开始,相信很多读者一定跟我一样好奇,这本书的书名是《BOYS ADRIFT》洪兰老师翻译成《浮萍男孩》。原来是因为许多父母感觉到男孩像浮萍一样到处漂泊,好像缺乏强烈的动机,随着生命的潮流把他带到天涯海角。 家庭医师暨心理学家萨克斯则认为是社会和生物两方面因素的共同影响,造成了让男孩漂流的环境。如果你以为这是一本医学理论的书,那就大错特错了!

  本书的作者像说故事一般,将他引用的研究报告、理论基础和医学临床上的观察结合案例,让我们明白:男女生大脑在生物基础上根本就不同,要了解彼此的差异才能提供孩子合适的教养与教育。

  当我们阅读这本书时,经常会有「啊哈!」的惊呼声,尤其是教育现场的高年级老师总是抱怨班上的男孩子人际互动不佳、生活自理能力差、挫折容忍力不足、自我管理能力缺乏……;原来是因为:父母、老师对性别差异的迷思。我们应该认清男生和女生在游戏时的不同、在学习优势的不同,他们面对冲突的型态不同、辨识方位的策略不同、看待外界的方式也不同、连听觉敏感度都不同。

  作者也归纳出五个导致男孩缺乏动机的原凶:像是在学校里,太多讲述取代动手做的经验、从竞争的形态移转到大家都是赢家,造就许多男孩不喜欢到学校。其次是手机或电玩游戏的过度使用,让男孩对真实世界的成功和成就不再有兴趣。还有过动症的过度诊断和用药,其实许多被误诊的男孩,只是需要一个适合他们发展的课程表,和一个懂得如何教男生的老师。当然环境中雌激素干扰内分泌平衡,严重打击男孩的内分泌系统。最后是流行文化对男性气概的贬抑,性别角色认同在男孩转变成男人的过程中需要适当引导和有成熟的男性角色典范,让他们学习如何成为真正的男人。真的是一针见血!

  如果我们想让男孩学习独立负责,萨克斯医生也提醒我们在教育上,老师父母需要为孩子量身打造,设计适合男孩女孩不同的学习环境。就像是男孩眼睛就自动会聚焦机器人、弹珠台是很自然的。父母也必须清楚知道孩子现在正在玩的游戏,而不是放任!

  恭喜你打开这本《浮萍男孩》!我们要一起用正确的方法来引起孩子的动机,用适合的方式来陪伴男孩的成长!适性发展,天赋展能,当然也包含你我身边正在成长的男孩!

导 读 男孩的成长需要适当的教育与引导 洪兰

男孩的成长需要适当的教育与引导

洪兰

  以前我做学生时,班上没有一个同学是过动或注意力缺失,现在几乎每一班都至少有一个,有的班还高到四、五个。顽皮的孩子自古至今都有,男生没有调过皮、挨过打,好像就不可能长大,但是皮到要带去给医生看、要吃药,好像是没有。所以这个注意力缺失过动症(Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, ADHD)就变成了二十一世纪非常引人瞩目的疾病。本书作者是个家医科医生,又在宾州大学念到心理学的博士学位,手边有临床门诊的资料,又有作研究的训练,加上「好奇」是人的本性,他就开始去研究为什么本世纪有么多过动/注意力缺失的孩子,而且为什么男生居多。

  疾病是不分性别一律肆虐的,如果分性别,那么可能有基因上的原因,使某个性别容易受疾病的侵害;也可能有社会的因素,对某个性别特别不利,所以值得研究。他发现真正应该吃药的过动儿不多,许多是误诊,吃了不该吃的药,因为父母的期待和老师、医生的方便(没有父母能接受我的孩子功课不好是他比较笨的关系,如果是疾病,那么父母颜面没有失,毕竟人要生病是没有办法的事;服了药,孩子安静下来,可以坐在课堂上听讲了,对老师是个很大的精神压力解脱;很多医生是只要病人不抱怨,老师、父母都要求用药时,开了药皆大欢喜,所以治标的各种药物就越开越多了)。但是基本上,这是锯箭疗伤的方式,并不能解决问题,本书的作者在门诊繁忙之余,费心找出该现象的社会原因,解除孩子的痛苦,是很令人敬佩的。

  过动/注意力缺失是男孩、女孩都有的毛病,为何本书只偏重男生的现象和发生原因呢?这是因为男生情况比较严重,先从严重的救起。在大脑的发展上男生成熟得比女生慢。美国国家卫生研究院(NIH)曾经做过一个大型的大脑发展造影研究,扫描了一千七百多个从幼儿园到青春期孩子的大脑,结果发现男生与女生在大脑不同区域成熟的顺序和时间不同。一般来说,女生早熟,甚至可以早到两年的差距,所以有些六年级的女生看起来像高中生,有些国二的男生看起来像五年级小学生。最近比较人类学的基因研究发现,男生与公黑猩猩有百分之九九・四的基因相同,比与人类女性的共同基因还多一些。所以男生在看、听、嗅觉方面与公黑猩猩的相似性大于人类的女性。这一点对了解性别差异很重要,男女在处理事情上的不同是来自大脑结构与神经回路活化上所造成的功能上的不同。

  在台湾谈性别差异是件危险的事,我曾因为谈到男女在同一件事的处理上大脑有不同之处,而被猛烈攻击,甚至黑函说我政治不正确。但是在实验上的确有看到差异,所以必须要讲。其实每个人有每个人擅长的地方,真正的男女平等应该是每个人去做每个人擅长的事,不论它是刻板的男生的事或刻板的女生的事。法律要保障的是机会的平等和薪水的平等。作者也看到了男女大脑上的不同,所以他认为男生需要适合男生天性的课程表,从他们的长处切入,去开启教导他们的心智。他说男生需要常常去户外活动,在大自然中观察,从实际动手操作中学习(其实女性也是需要)。如果孩子花很多时间在电脑萤幕前面而不在户外,会有所谓的「文化自闭症」(Cultural Autism),最后形成被孤立、牵制、阻遏的那种「隧道感官」感觉(Tunneled Senses),他们抓不到概念或问题的重心。因此,从本书中,你可以强烈感觉到作者赞成男女分校或分班,男生需要竞争才会有动机。作者举了很多例子来支持他的看法。我来自女校,回想自己的成长过程,我承认他讲的有道理

  由于全球竞争激烈,每个父母都希望孩子及早学习,忘记了学习有「成熟」这个条件。现在幼儿园做的是小学一年级的工作,美国从幼儿园开始教认字、写字(台湾也是),假如男生成熟得慢,还不能读和写,这时,他会讨厌上学,因为上学是挫折,是去做一件他能力还做不到的事。其实北欧很多学校是七岁才启蒙上学,他们的国力发展也没有比我们五岁就学写字的差。太早要求孩子去做他还没有准备好、还未成熟到可以做的事,对孩子的身心都不好。

  读者可以想像马路上有个裂缝,大人一脚就跨过去了,孩子则必须蹲下来爬过去,爬时还得战战兢兢,生怕掉下去。但是等孩子长大一点,脚步变宽时,他也一步就跨过去了。小时候看希腊神话金羊毛(Golden Fleece)的电影,巨人一脚就跨过了博斯普鲁斯海峡;或是《格列佛游记》里的格列佛一把就把船抓起来,多么轻而易举。看到台湾的父母,孩子才三岁两个月就送去学国文数学,真让我心痛。这本书有很多篇幅是为了这样的父母写的,作者从大脑的观点来劝告父母不要揠苗助长,每个人大脑的成熟时间不一样,大脑同一区块男女成熟的时间也不一样,不必心急,晚一年上学没有所谓的面子问题,幼儿园本来就是个学习与别人相处的游戏地方,没有「被当掉」的面子问题。

  至于为什么白人小孩被诊断为ADHD的比例高,这是社会偏见的关系。一个白人小孩拿到C,而老师认为他应该拿A,老师就会怀疑他是不是注意力有缺失,上课没有好好听,回家没有好好做功课;但是假如一个黑人或墨西哥孩子拿到C,老师可能认为他是能力所限,无法拿到更好的成绩,就不会建议父母带孩子去找医生开药。作者坦承美国有很多人,包括黑人老师在内,仍是对白人孩子有较高的期待,他们会认为这个白人小孩没有发挥出他的潜能,应该寻求改进方法。想不到这反而使不需要服药的白人孩子服了药,变成白人ADHD的机率比黑人高出了许多。这也许是种族歧视者前所未料的吧!

  那么,如果孩子不是过动/注意力缺失,为什么吃了药就安静下来,学习就进步了呢?麻省理工学院盖伯瑞利教授的实验回答了这个问题。盖伯瑞利真是神通广大,能得到父母的同意,给正常的孩子吃注意力缺失过动症的药;他也得到病童父母同意,暂时给注意力缺失过动症的孩子停药。他在这段期间测试儿童,看他们在有药、无药的情况下学习的情形。结果发现药物会增进正常儿童的学习,增进的强度与有注意力缺失过动症的儿童的程度一模一样。这些药物都是促使大脑中血清张素的浓度增加,而血清张素跟记忆、注意力、动机都有直接的关系,难怪过动/注意力缺失的误诊率这么高。很多人都认为吃了药有效,就一定是这个病,其实不见得。路上很多人打伞时,阴沟的水会涨高,但是那是因为下雨的关系,雨水才是真正的原因,打伞只是个表象。

  现在许多家长很短视,只要孩子功课好,什么都可以牺牲。既然吃了药记忆力会好,为何不给他吃?他们会要求医生开药。最近动物的研究发现这些药物会影响大脑,尤其是伏隔核,会使动物失去动机:肚子饿,食物放在面前懒得吃,连敌人来都懒得逃命。在人类身上也看到同样情形,最近脑造影研究发现,七到十四岁的男生如果玩太多电玩,会影响伏隔核和背侧前额叶皮质(DLPFC)的平衡,伏隔核是把动机和驱力送到DLPFC去、DLPFC再给这个驱力回馈报酬的目标和情境,这两个区域密切合作,这个人就有动机,朝真实世界的目标前进。但是如果电玩游戏将血液引入伏隔核,使DLPFC的血流量减少,这时电玩游戏本身就给了孩子达到目的的回馈报酬,而这回馈报酬并没有连接到真实的世界,所以他们对真实世界的成就不再感兴趣。电玩刺激大脑的伏隔核区,就跟吸食古柯碱所影响的地方一样,所以电玩会上瘾。

  其实男生和女生真的有不同,从孩子的行为上就可以看出。我和我妹妹都曾到动物收养中心去领养过流浪猫,我妹妹的两个女儿会替猫洗澡,用洗衣篮替牠布置一个温暖的窝;我的儿子就把猫塞到他的T恤里假装他在怀孕,结果猫逃出来时,在他胸前狠狠留下五道血爪印。男生闯了祸不敢说,等我替他洗澡时才发现,他怕我骂,还一直说不痛、不痛。

  男孩并不会因长大就自动变成男人,他们需要被教导、被引导,需要借由各种挑战证明给别人看,他的身体、心智都已成熟,可以脱离父母保护,独当一面,他才算成年。年龄跟成熟之间不是等号关系,古人十六岁弱冠,变成大人,现在十六岁男生还要妈妈叫起床才不会迟到,不但不能谋生养家,每天还要跟家里拿零用钱。

  男孩需要磨练才能成为男人,我很赞成作者说的让孩子去劳动服务,从流汗中学到做为一个男人是什么意思,当你自己可以种出米来吃、盖出房子来住时,你就知道你可以独当一面了。所以电视广告说喝了某个牌子的啤酒才是真正的男人,劳动服务过的孩子知道不对,真正的男人跟喝什么牌子的啤酒无关,跟你有无能力去服务别人有关系。

  本书最好的地方是作者在指出所有造成孩子没有动机的因素后,最后给父母指出一条生路,建议父母可以怎么做去改变孩子,让孩子重拾动机。他在书中所提的方法都很简单,只要有心,便可以做到的:如尽量带孩子去跟大自然接触,在他背青蛙的解剖图之前,先知道什么是青蛙,并且摸过青蛙、玩过蝌蚪。作者说内布拉斯加的学校不再用纸笔测验来评估小学生对电流的知识,而是要他们自己组装一个电回路,如果组装正确,那么回路板上的马达就会动,铃声就会响。孩子从铃声中,不但得到他的自信心,还确实把电流的知识学进去了。作者的话使我想起李家同教授对台湾电机系学生的批评,或许新任教育部长真的应该好好看一下这本书。

  另外,作者建议父母一定要用心替孩子找一个适合他的学校,学校跟孩子的契合实在太重要了,孩子一天有八个小时在学校生活,如果老师的教学、校长的理念不适合他,而他必须每天去受八个小时的罪,实在太可怜了。很多时候,适合哥哥的学校,对弟弟可能不合。我很赞成德国人的话:「没有什么天气叫不好,只有合不合适的衣服。」

  作者特别强调不让孩子走上歧路,必须替他指出另一条可行的路,行为才会改善。这点真是台湾父母最常犯的错误,我们常懒得说理,都用权威的命令方式说话:「我告诉你不行就是不行」,使得孩子阳奉阴违、亲子关系疏离。其实教养孩子是个艺术,材料不同,雕刻的方法就不同,逆着树纹雕刻会糟蹋了好木头。教养孩子绝对不是科学,科学有重复性,甲做成功、乙用同样方式也会成功,但是教养孩子不是,别人孩子打骂会成材,你家孩子打骂会离家出走,不可东施效颦,以免误了孩子的一生。

  世界变化的很快,二○○七年一月七日第一代的苹果手机问市,在这十三年间,它整个革新了我们生活的方式,改变了我们对世界的看法。有鉴于此,作者花了很多时间和心血重新修订这本书,添增很多这十年来大脑科学的新知识,以符合时代的需求。这增订版比以前更像是一盏明灯,在父母走投无路不知该怎么办时,指出有效的亲子教养方法和它背后的真谛,这真是一本难得的好书,诚挚的推荐给各位读者。

第1章 谜团:缺乏动机的男孩

image

有比以前更多的年轻人倒在前进美国之梦的路旁,

这个结果就是惊慌的父母不知道为什么他们的孩子

不能、不愿独立去过自己的生活。

他们像浮萍一样,到处漂泊,

随着生命的潮流把他带到天涯海角。

为什么有的男孩会成功,有的男孩却毫不在乎地随波逐流呢?

他要去哪里?你能帮得上忙吗?

这就是你和我要一起探讨的核心问题。

第2章 第一个因素:学校的改变

image

假如人是精密的电脑,学习就等于电脑程式,老师就是电脑程式设计师。

假如我们给老师一套正确的标准指示,

那么只要按一下开关,小孩子就会学习了,

一种有效率、不可能出错的学习。

只要老师依照指示执行命令,好的学习结果就指日可待。

完全不可能出错。保证不失败。只要学生和电脑一样就行了。

但他们不是。

电脑不需要动机就能做你要它做的事,但是孩子需要动机。

第3章 第二个因素:电玩游戏

image

电玩游戏的破坏性效果不在男生的认知能力或他的反应时间上,

而在他的动机和他跟真实世界的连接上。

这些男生可能不是高动机的,但是他们的动机被引导到不对的地方,出轨了。

他们是有动机,但是他们与真实世界分离了。

电玩世界对他们来说更真实,至少比他们的功课、成绩和大学申请信的世界更真实。

电玩游戏特别倾向于提升与真实世界的中断和分离,

正是因为这种暴力的不真实性。

你的儿子知道他不能对学校中他不喜欢的孩子发射光子鱼雷。

第4章 第三个因素:ADHD的药物

image

「但是这有伤害吗?」一个家长问我。

假如这种药物帮助孩子在班上的表现好,又没有什么伤害,

为什么不给他吃呢?

现在,我们就要来看这个重要的问题:有没有害?害在哪里?

许多男孩在服用这些药物时看起来都没事。

这些父母亲所不知道的,而医生也可能不知道的,

是即使服用这些药的期间很短,还是可以造成人格的改变。

一个本来很随和、外向、有冒险精神的男孩,会变得懒惰和易怒。

第5章 第四个因素:内分泌干扰物质

image

我们已经看到暴露在环境雌激素下会引起肥胖,男女都不能幸免。

暴露在合成的内分泌干扰物质之下会加速女生的青春期到来,

同样的化学物质会干扰或减慢男生青春期的历程。

我们现在也知道这些物质可以引起注意力缺失过动症。

科学家现在发现延后的青春期、过胖和注意力缺失过动症

三者一起发生的机率大于我们预期的,

但还是只有在男生身上。

我们毒害环境的结果是使女生像男又像女,

而男生是既不像男也不像女。

第6章 结果:赖家王老五

image

当一位研究者问大学生结婚比较好、还是单身一辈子比较好时,

三分之二的男生选结婚比较好,一半以上的女生认为一辈子单身比较好。

二十五年前,三十五到四十岁的美国男人只有百分之八从来没有结过婚,现在是百分之二十二,而且数字还在往上升。

《赖家王老五》一上演,立刻变成卖座第一的电影,

我很惊讶这个电影竟然非常真确地抓住了我这七年所看到的现象。

男主角是个很聪明的人,他完全可以很成功、很有成就,

但就是没有任何动机去完成任何真实的事情。

第7章 第五个因素:被遗弃神祇的复仇

image

文化有一部分是由「什么是一个真正的男人」这个问题的答案所界定的,

忽略这个问题的后果并不是一个雌雄同体的孩子的世代。

结果是一方面,年轻男孩没有动机去工作或服务,

对无限期住在父母家不觉羞耻,对只拿不给也不觉得羞耻

另一方面,我们开始得到一个可怕的收成,

一些在乎自己是不是真正男人的年轻人,在没有成年男子团体的引导下,转向帮派暴力、药物滥用或飙车来肯定他们的男性认同。

这个男子气概的崩盘及贬值,是目前青少年流行文化现象背后的主因。

第8章 解药:让男孩重拾动机

image

我并没有全部的答案,事实上,我还差得远。

但是我知道我们至少在问对的问题。

那些采取策略的家长从美国的各个角落寄给我成功的故事,

这些故事是不分族群、种族、地理位置,

也不分男孩、少男、二十岁的年轻人。

假如这本书你看到这里了,你知道我们还有很多的工作要做,

没有人可以独力完成,我们必须一起努力才行。

第三章 第二个因素:电玩游戏

[1] 我在本书中提到的global Halo(《最后一战》)比赛是在二○○五年五月份举办的,虽然主办者要求参与者必须十八岁以上才能进入,但是会场并无任何机制来执行这个规定。电玩游戏竞赛现在叫做「电子运动」(e-sports),从二○○五年就有了,《纽约时报》二○一四年八月三十日有篇文章「电子运动吸引了真正的人群和大量的金钱」(In E-sports, Video Gamers Draw Real Crowds and Big Money),记者Nick Wingfield把这个竞赛形容为Defense of the Ancients (DOTA) 竞赛,是两队电玩专家在西雅图篮球场比赛,奖金高达一千一百万美元,现场观赛的门票很贵但仍有一万一千人去观赛。芝加哥的Robert Morris大学提供赢家五十万美金的奖学金,就像运动员的奖学金一样,现在美国的长春藤盟校(Ivy League)也提供校际比赛。Wingfield的文章可在网路上下载,www.nytimes.com/2014/08/31/technology/esports-explosion- brings-opportunity-riches-for-video-gamers.html。

[4] 如我在我的书《教养,你可以做得更好》(远流出版)中指出,一九七九年时,只有1.2%的美国孩子,即一千个人中有十二个,被诊断为我们现在称之为ADHD的孩子,那个时候叫做「童年期动感过度反应症」(hyperkinetic reaction of childhood),男女生的比例为二比一或更多,所以我们可以推测在一九七九年时应该是1.6%的男生和0.8%的女生(这样得出的平均值为1.2%)。到二○一三年时,美国疾病控制和预防中心(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)宣布美国高中男生有20%被诊断为ADHD,几乎是一九七九年的十倍,从1.6%涨到20%,请看《教养,你可以做得更好》第三章。

[12] 很多学术研究都显现派醋甲酯和安非他命──这两个是药物的主要成分──会对发展中的大脑多巴胺感受体聚集的地方有长期的改变,这个干扰效应在伏隔核的地方最大,这不令人惊奇,因为伏隔核正是多巴胺感受体最密集的地方,密西根大学的Terry Robinson和Bryan Kolb是最早发现低剂的安非他命会导致伏隔核神经细胞受损的几个人之一,他们第一次把这发现写在「使用安非他命所导致的伏隔核和前额叶皮质神经细胞持久的结构改变」(Persistent Structural Modifications in Nucleus Accumbens and Prefrontal Cortex Neurons Produced by Previous Experiences with Amphetamine)刊登在《神经科学期刊》(Journal of Neuroscience)一九九七年一七卷八四九一─八四九七页。They later reviewed this emerging field in their article “Structural Plasticity Associated with Exposure to Drugs of Abuse,” Neuropharmacology, volume 47, pp. 33–46, 2004.

[6] 跟野生动物因杀虫剂所导致的雌性化议题可参考Heinz-R. Köhler和Rita Triebskorn合著的「杀虫剂对野生动物生态毒理学,我们可以把这效果追踪到群体的程度和之外吗?」(Wildlife Ecotoxicology of Pesticides: Can We Track Effects to the Population Level and Beyond)发表在《科学》期刊三四一卷七五九─七六五页,下面是我所引用的几个二○一三年的特别案例:
• 华盛顿州和爱达荷州:James Nagler和他的同事检查华盛顿州和爱达荷州哥伦比亚河流域,发现许多看起来像雌鱼的鱼,捞起来做DNA检验时发现其实是雄鱼。这些鱼已经完全雌性化了。牠们看起来像雌性,牠们产卵而不产精子,但是牠们在基因上是雄性,参见James Nagler and colleagues, “High Incidence of a Male-Specific Genetic Marker in Phenotypic Female Chinook Salmon from the Columbia River,” Environmental Health Perspectives, volume 109, pp. 67–69, 2001.
• 佛罗里达州:美国渔业与野生动物管理署的Louis Guillette和他的同事发现佛罗里达州中部雄性鳄鱼的睾丸萎缩。这些鳄鱼血液中的雄性荷尔蒙也异常的少,但是雌性荷尔蒙却不正常的高。同样的,在阿波卜卡湖附近,离奥兰多市不远的野生动物保护区中的雄性蟒蛇快要绝种了,一部分原因是这些雄蟒蛇已不能再制造精子了。这个雄蟒蛇的去男性化和水池里塑胶中含的邻苯二甲酸盐与丙二酚有关。参见Louis J.

[9] 事实上,记录中有两个文化打破了这个规矩:大溪地和马来西亚的Semai文化,在这两个文化中,勇敢的人并没有比懦弱的人更受尊敬,努力工作的人也不被看好,Semai的文化没有传统的男性主义,没有竞争,没有私人拥有的土地,也没有保护女人不受男人侵害的概念,Gilmore在他的《制造男人》(Manhood in the Making)一书中(二一二页)说:「Semai文化没有任何男性的荣耀或作为父亲的光荣去激励他们,Semai男人不抵抗,简单地说,Semai男人不担心荣誉、为人父或社交界线,」「他们的生活中没有什么性别差异,所有东西都共享,他们完全没有『我的东西』的概念,我的、你的,对他们没有意义。」(二一四页)。假如你想研究Semai人,你得赶快,这个文化在以惊人的速度在消失中,虽然跟其他文化只有一点点的接触,他们也完全没有办法存活在现在的社会里。
第二个是大溪地的原住民文化,这个文化现在已经绝迹了,Gilmore说大溪地原住民文化可能是最没有性别差异的社会文化,即使今天,大溪地语言中仍然没有男人和女人的词汇,在传统大溪地文化中,成年人的角色几乎完全没有性别差异,大溪地男人和女人一起负担养育孩子、煮饭、做家务的责任。
是什么因素使大溪地发展出这种中性的文化?第一个原因很可能是资源丰富,Gilmore发现大溪地和它附近的岛屿几乎不需要努力或风险就能拿到足够的食物,而大部分的人类社区资源都是不足的。取之不尽,用之不绝的资源使得大溪地跟地球上其他地方不一样,Gilmore在他二二四页的结论中说:「环境越恶劣,资源越匮乏,成为男子汉大丈夫的压力和动机越大」。
第二个因素是缺乏和其他文化交流,这点对Semai人也适用,Gilmore认为在人类其他社群中,「真正的男人」的主要功能是跟别的社区交涉:或是透过打战臣服于人,或是透过交涉和平共处,大溪地人一直到欧洲人于一八○○年来殖民,他们没有跟外界联络,自从传教士在一八一五年到达大溪地后,在短短的六十年间,大溪地自己的文化在Pomare女王四世驾崩后,整个文化便消失了,「在一个世代之间,传统的大溪地文化更彻底毁灭掉了」,Jean-Bernard Carillet在他的《大溪地和法国的波里尼西亚》(Tahiti and French Polynesia)一书(这本书二○○○年在澳洲墨尔本出版)一三页中说,Semai文化除了在最遥远的森林中,已经几乎灭绝了。
这两个文化都无法在跟外界接触以后存活下来,即使一个世代的时间都不可能,这个快速的崩溃显示一个文化要持久,它需要有「真正的男人」才能在跟别的文化接触后还能存活下来,没有性别差异的文化无法持久。

• David Takeuchi and colleagues, “Immigration and Mental Health: Diverse Findings in Asian, Black, and Latino Populations,” American Journal of Public Health, volume 97, pp. 11–12, 2007. This article is an introduction to a special issue of the American Journal of Public Health (AJPH) devoted to documenting and understanding the interaction between immigration status and mental health in the United States. Full text online at National Center for Biotechnology Information, US National Library of Medicine, NIH, www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1716240. From that special issue of AJPH, see, for example, “Immigration-Related Factors and Mental Disorders Among Asian Americans,” American Journal of Public Health, volume 97, pp. 84–90, full text at AJPH, http://ajph.aphapublications.org/doi/abs/10.2105/AJPH.2006.088401. This article documents a peculiar gender quirk in the immigrant paradox: while the immigrant-paradox effect was generally stronger for females than for males (i.e., being born outside of the United States was more protective for females than for males), English-language proficiency was a greater risk factor for males than for females. If you are male, and you were born in Asia, and you move to the United States, then mastering English puts you at greater risk of mental disorder; but that’s not true if you are female. Go figure. Here is some of the evidence that girls whose families have recently immigrated to the United States are less likely than American-born girls to engage in binge drinking or other forms of alcohol and/or substance abuse:
• Michele Allen and colleagues, “The Relationship Between Spanish Language Use and Substance Use Behaviors Among Latino Youth,” Journal of Adolescent Health, volume 43, pp. 372–379, 2008.

• Guillermo Prado and colleagues, “What Accounts for Differences in Substance Use Among U.S.-Born and Immigrant Hispanic Adolescents? Results from a Longitudinal Prospective Cohort Study,” Journal of Adolescent Health, volume 45, pp. 118–125, 2009. Prado and his colleagues document that foreign- born Hispanic adolescents are significantly less likely to engage in drug abuse than similarly situated US-born Hispanic adolescents. They conclude that the key difference is that the US-born Hispanic teens are looking to their same-age peers for guidance, while the foreign-born Hispanic teens are looking to their parents and to other adults for guidance.

• Donald Hernandez and colleagues, “Children in Immigrant Families: Demography, Policy, and Evidence for the Immigrant Paradox,” in Coll and Marks, editors, The Immigrant Paradox in Children and Adolescents, cited above. These researchers find that “the immigrant paradox holds true regarding delinquency, both before and after controlling for [socioeconomic status], for most groups across the first and second generations but not across the second and third generations. The first generation of nearly all groups is less likely than Whites in native-born families [in the USA] to have engaged in delinquent behaviors.”
• John MacDonald and Jessica Saunders, “Are Immigrant Youth Less Violent? Specifying the Reasons and Mechanisms,” Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, volume 641, pp. 125–147, 2012. The boy who says “School is a stupid waste of time” is a boy who is not academically engaged. Here are some of the studies demonstrating that boys born in the United States are less academically engaged compared with boys who have immigrated to the United States:
• Emily Greenman, “Educational Attitudes, School Peer Context, and the Immigrant Paradox in Education,” Social Science Research, volume 42, pp. 698–714, 2013.
• Lingin Hao and Yingyi Ma, “Immigrant Youth in Postsecondary Education,” chapter 12 in Coll and Marks, editors, The Immigrant Paradox in Children and Adolescents, cited above.
• Carola Suarez-Orozco and colleagues, “Unraveling the Immigrant Paradox: Academic Engagement and Disengagement Among Recently Arrived Immigrant Youth,” Youth and Society, volume 41, pp. 151–185, 2009.
• Vivian Tseng, “Family Interdependence and Academic Adjustment in College: Youth from Immigrant and U.S.-Born Families,” Child Development, volume 75, pp. 966–983, 2004. Tseng finds that the key factor explaining the immigrant paradox in her study of 998 youth with Asian Pacific, Latino, African /Afro-Caribbean, and European backgrounds was the sense of “family obligation” that many of the immigrant youths felt, but that many of the US-born youths did not feel.

重新认识身边的男孩

邢小萍 台北市永安国小校长

  我是位小学校长,最喜欢观察校园中孩子的各种学习活动,当孩子们走进我的办公室,最先看到的一定是书,然后小男孩就会关注到我办公桌上的弹珠台、扭蛋机和机器人,确实和小女生不大相同!我自己有两个女儿,虽然没有教养儿子的经验,但是从心理学家萨克斯医生的笔下,让我得以应证教学近四十年的观察──性别差异是真实存在的!

  一开始,相信很多读者一定跟我一样好奇,这本书的书名是《BOYS ADRIFT》洪兰老师翻译成《浮萍男孩》。原来是因为许多父母感觉到男孩像浮萍一样到处漂泊,好像缺乏强烈的动机,随着生命的潮流把他带到天涯海角。 家庭医师暨心理学家萨克斯则认为是社会和生物两方面因素的共同影响,造成了让男孩漂流的环境。如果你以为这是一本医学理论的书,那就大错特错了!

  本书的作者像说故事一般,将他引用的研究报告、理论基础和医学临床上的观察结合案例,让我们明白:男女生大脑在生物基础上根本就不同,要了解彼此的差异才能提供孩子合适的教养与教育。

  当我们阅读这本书时,经常会有「啊哈!」的惊呼声,尤其是教育现场的高年级老师总是抱怨班上的男孩子人际互动不佳、生活自理能力差、挫折容忍力不足、自我管理能力缺乏……;原来是因为:父母、老师对性别差异的迷思。我们应该认清男生和女生在游戏时的不同、在学习优势的不同,他们面对冲突的型态不同、辨识方位的策略不同、看待外界的方式也不同、连听觉敏感度都不同。

  作者也归纳出五个导致男孩缺乏动机的原凶:像是在学校里,太多讲述取代动手做的经验、从竞争的形态移转到大家都是赢家,造就许多男孩不喜欢到学校。其次是手机或电玩游戏的过度使用,让男孩对真实世界的成功和成就不再有兴趣。还有过动症的过度诊断和用药,其实许多被误诊的男孩,只是需要一个适合他们发展的课程表,和一个懂得如何教男生的老师。当然环境中雌激素干扰内分泌平衡,严重打击男孩的内分泌系统。最后是流行文化对男性气概的贬抑,性别角色认同在男孩转变成男人的过程中需要适当引导和有成熟的男性角色典范,让他们学习如何成为真正的男人。真的是一针见血!

  如果我们想让男孩学习独立负责,萨克斯医生也提醒我们在教育上,老师父母需要为孩子量身打造,设计适合男孩女孩不同的学习环境。就像是男孩眼睛就自动会聚焦机器人、弹珠台是很自然的。父母也必须清楚知道孩子现在正在玩的游戏,而不是放任!

  恭喜你打开这本《浮萍男孩》!我们要一起用正确的方法来引起孩子的动机,用适合的方式来陪伴男孩的成长!适性发展,天赋展能,当然也包含你我身边正在成长的男孩!
