重新認識身邊的男孩

邢小萍 臺北市永安國小校長

  我是位小學校長,最喜歡觀察校園中孩子的各種學習活動,當孩子們走進我的辦公室,最先看到的一定是書,然後小男孩就會關注到我辦公桌上的彈珠臺、扭蛋機和機器人,確實和小女生不大相同!我自己有兩個女兒,雖然沒有教養兒子的經驗,但是從心理學家薩克斯醫生的筆下,讓我得以應證教學近四十年的觀察──性別差異是真實存在的!

  一開始,相信很多讀者一定跟我一樣好奇,這本書的書名是《BOYS ADRIFT》洪蘭老師翻譯成《浮萍男孩》。原來是因為許多父母感覺到男孩像浮萍一樣到處漂泊,好像缺乏強烈的動機,隨著生命的潮流把他帶到天涯海角。 家庭醫師暨心理學家薩克斯則認為是社會和生物兩方面因素的共同影響,造成了讓男孩漂流的環境。如果你以為這是一本醫學理論的書,那就大錯特錯了!

  本書的作者像說故事一般,將他引用的研究報告、理論基礎和醫學臨床上的觀察結合案例,讓我們明白:男女生大腦在生物基礎上根本就不同,要了解彼此的差異才能提供孩子合適的教養與教育。

  當我們閱讀這本書時,經常會有「啊哈!」的驚呼聲,尤其是教育現場的高年級老師總是抱怨班上的男孩子人際互動不佳、生活自理能力差、挫折容忍力不足、自我管理能力缺乏……;原來是因為:父母、老師對性別差異的迷思。我們應該認清男生和女生在遊戲時的不同、在學習優勢的不同,他們面對衝突的型態不同、辨識方位的策略不同、看待外界的方式也不同、連聽覺敏感度都不同。

  作者也歸納出五個導致男孩缺乏動機的原兇:像是在學校裡,太多講述取代動手做的經驗、從競爭的形態移轉到大家都是贏家,造就許多男孩不喜歡到學校。其次是手機或電玩遊戲的過度使用,讓男孩對真實世界的成功和成就不再有興趣。還有過動症的過度診斷和用藥,其實許多被誤診的男孩,只是需要一個適合他們發展的課程表,和一個懂得如何教男生的老師。當然環境中雌激素幹擾內分泌平衡,嚴重打擊男孩的內分泌系統。最後是流行文化對男性氣概的貶抑,性別角色認同在男孩轉變成男人的過程中需要適當引導和有成熟的男性角色典範,讓他們學習如何成為真正的男人。真的是一針見血!

  如果我們想讓男孩學習獨立負責,薩克斯醫生也提醒我們在教育上,老師父母需要為孩子量身打造,設計適合男孩女孩不同的學習環境。就像是男孩眼睛就自動會聚焦機器人、彈珠臺是很自然的。父母也必須清楚知道孩子現在正在玩的遊戲,而不是放任!

  恭喜你打開這本《浮萍男孩》!我們要一起用正確的方法來引起孩子的動機,用適合的方式來陪伴男孩的成長!適性發展,天賦展能,當然也包含你我身邊正在成長的男孩!

男孩的成長需要適當的教育與引導

洪蘭

  以前我做學生時,班上沒有一個同學是過動或注意力缺失,現在幾乎每一班都至少有一個,有的班還高到四、五個。頑皮的孩子自古至今都有,男生沒有調過皮、挨過打,好像就不可能長大,但是皮到要帶去給醫生看、要吃藥,好像是沒有。所以這個注意力缺失過動症(Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, ADHD)就變成了二十一世紀非常引人矚目的疾病。本書作者是個家醫科醫生,又在賓州大學唸到心理學的博士學位,手邊有臨床門診的資料,又有作研究的訓練,加上「好奇」是人的本性,他就開始去研究為什麼本世紀有麼多過動/注意力缺失的孩子,而且為什麼男生居多。

  疾病是不分性別一律肆虐的,如果分性別,那麼可能有基因上的原因,使某個性別容易受疾病的侵害;也可能有社會的因素,對某個性別特別不利,所以值得研究。他發現真正應該吃藥的過動兒不多,許多是誤診,吃了不該吃的藥,因為父母的期待和老師、醫生的方便(沒有父母能接受我的孩子功課不好是他比較笨的關係,如果是疾病,那麼父母顏面沒有失,畢竟人要生病是沒有辦法的事;服了藥,孩子安靜下來,可以坐在課堂上聽講了,對老師是個很大的精神壓力解脫;很多醫生是隻要病人不抱怨,老師、父母都要求用藥時,開了藥皆大歡喜,所以治標的各種藥物就越開越多了)。但是基本上,這是鋸箭療傷的方式,並不能解決問題,本書的作者在門診繁忙之餘,費心找出該現象的社會原因,解除孩子的痛苦,是很令人敬佩的。

  過動/注意力缺失是男孩、女孩都有的毛病,為何本書只偏重男生的現象和發生原因呢?這是因為男生情況比較嚴重,先從嚴重的救起。在大腦的發展上男生成熟得比女生慢。美國國家衛生研究院(NIH)曾經做過一個大型的大腦發展造影研究,掃描了一千七百多個從幼兒園到青春期孩子的大腦,結果發現男生與女生在大腦不同區域成熟的順序和時間不同。一般來說,女生早熟,甚至可以早到兩年的差距,所以有些六年級的女生看起來像高中生,有些國二的男生看起來像五年級小學生。最近比較人類學的基因研究發現,男生與公黑猩猩有百分之九九・四的基因相同,比與人類女性的共同基因還多一些。所以男生在看、聽、嗅覺方面與公黑猩猩的相似性大於人類的女性。這一點對瞭解性別差異很重要,男女在處理事情上的不同是來自大腦結構與神經迴路活化上所造成的功能上的不同。

  在臺灣談性別差異是件危險的事,我曾因為談到男女在同一件事的處理上大腦有不同之處,而被猛烈攻擊,甚至黑函說我政治不正確。但是在實驗上的確有看到差異,所以必須要講。其實每個人有每個人擅長的地方,真正的男女平等應該是每個人去做每個人擅長的事,不論它是刻板的男生的事或刻板的女生的事。法律要保障的是機會的平等和薪水的平等。作者也看到了男女大腦上的不同,所以他認為男生需要適合男生天性的課程表,從他們的長處切入,去開啟教導他們的心智。他說男生需要常常去戶外活動,在大自然中觀察,從實際動手操作中學習(其實女性也是需要)。如果孩子花很多時間在電腦螢幕前面而不在戶外,會有所謂的「文化自閉症」(Cultural Autism),最後形成被孤立、牽制、阻遏的那種「隧道感官」感覺(Tunneled Senses),他們抓不到概念或問題的重心。因此,從本書中,你可以強烈感覺到作者贊成男女分校或分班,男生需要競爭才會有動機。作者舉了很多例子來支持他的看法。我來自女校,回想自己的成長過程,我承認他講的有道理

  由於全球競爭激烈,每個父母都希望孩子及早學習,忘記了學習有「成熟」這個條件。現在幼兒園做的是小學一年級的工作,美國從幼兒園開始教認字、寫字(臺灣也是),假如男生成熟得慢,還不能讀和寫,這時,他會討厭上學,因為上學是挫折,是去做一件他能力還做不到的事。其實北歐很多學校是七歲才啟蒙上學,他們的國力發展也沒有比我們五歲就學寫字的差。太早要求孩子去做他還沒有準備好、還未成熟到可以做的事,對孩子的身心都不好。

  讀者可以想像馬路上有個裂縫,大人一腳就跨過去了,孩子則必須蹲下來爬過去,爬時還得戰戰兢兢,生怕掉下去。但是等孩子長大一點,腳步變寬時,他也一步就跨過去了。小時候看希臘神話金羊毛(Golden Fleece)的電影,巨人一腳就跨過了博斯普魯斯海峽;或是《格列佛遊記》裡的格列佛一把就把船抓起來,多麼輕而易舉。看到臺灣的父母,孩子才三歲兩個月就送去學國文數學,真讓我心痛。這本書有很多篇幅是為了這樣的父母寫的,作者從大腦的觀點來勸告父母不要揠苗助長,每個人大腦的成熟時間不一樣,大腦同一區塊男女成熟的時間也不一樣,不必心急,晚一年上學沒有所謂的面子問題,幼兒園本來就是個學習與別人相處的遊戲地方,沒有「被當掉」的面子問題。

  至於為什麼白人小孩被診斷為ADHD的比例高,這是社會偏見的關係。一個白人小孩拿到C,而老師認為他應該拿A,老師就會懷疑他是不是注意力有缺失,上課沒有好好聽,回家沒有好好做功課;但是假如一個黑人或墨西哥孩子拿到C,老師可能認為他是能力所限,無法拿到更好的成績,就不會建議父母帶孩子去找醫生開藥。作者坦承美國有很多人,包括黑人老師在內,仍是對白人孩子有較高的期待,他們會認為這個白人小孩沒有發揮出他的潛能,應該尋求改進方法。想不到這反而使不需要服藥的白人孩子服了藥,變成白人ADHD的機率比黑人高出了許多。這也許是種族歧視者前所未料的吧!

  那麼,如果孩子不是過動/注意力缺失,為什麼吃了藥就安靜下來,學習就進步了呢?麻省理工學院蓋伯瑞利教授的實驗回答了這個問題。蓋伯瑞利真是神通廣大,能得到父母的同意,給正常的孩子吃注意力缺失過動症的藥;他也得到病童父母同意,暫時給注意力缺失過動症的孩子停藥。他在這段期間測試兒童,看他們在有藥、無藥的情況下學習的情形。結果發現藥物會增進正常兒童的學習,增進的強度與有注意力缺失過動症的兒童的程度一模一樣。這些藥物都是促使大腦中血清張素的濃度增加,而血清張素跟記憶、注意力、動機都有直接的關係,難怪過動/注意力缺失的誤診率這麼高。很多人都認為吃了藥有效,就一定是這個病,其實不見得。路上很多人打傘時,陰溝的水會漲高,但是那是因為下雨的關係,雨水才是真正的原因,打傘只是個表象。

  現在許多家長很短視,只要孩子功課好,什麼都可以犧牲。既然吃了藥記憶力會好,為何不給他吃?他們會要求醫生開藥。最近動物的研究發現這些藥物會影響大腦,尤其是伏隔核,會使動物失去動機:肚子餓,食物放在面前懶得吃,連敵人來都懶得逃命。在人類身上也看到同樣情形,最近腦造影研究發現,七到十四歲的男生如果玩太多電玩,會影響伏隔核和背側前額葉皮質(DLPFC)的平衡,伏隔核是把動機和驅力送到DLPFC去、DLPFC再給這個驅力回饋報酬的目標和情境,這兩個區域密切合作,這個人就有動機,朝真實世界的目標前進。但是如果電玩遊戲將血液引入伏隔核,使DLPFC的血流量減少,這時電玩遊戲本身就給了孩子達到目的的回饋報酬,而這回饋報酬並沒有連接到真實的世界,所以他們對真實世界的成就不再感興趣。電玩刺激大腦的伏隔核區,就跟吸食古柯鹼所影響的地方一樣,所以電玩會上癮。

  其實男生和女生真的有不同,從孩子的行為上就可以看出。我和我妹妹都曾到動物收養中心去領養過流浪貓,我妹妹的兩個女兒會替貓洗澡,用洗衣籃替牠佈置一個溫暖的窩;我的兒子就把貓塞到他的T恤裡假裝他在懷孕,結果貓逃出來時,在他胸前狠狠留下五道血爪印。男生闖了禍不敢說,等我替他洗澡時才發現,他怕我罵,還一直說不痛、不痛。

  男孩並不會因長大就自動變成男人,他們需要被教導、被引導,需要藉由各種挑戰證明給別人看,他的身體、心智都已成熟,可以脫離父母保護,獨當一面,他才算成年。年齡跟成熟之間不是等號關係,古人十六歲弱冠,變成大人,現在十六歲男生還要媽媽叫起床才不會遲到,不但不能謀生養家,每天還要跟家裡拿零用錢。

  男孩需要磨練才能成為男人,我很贊成作者說的讓孩子去勞動服務,從流汗中學到做為一個男人是什麼意思,當你自己可以種出米來吃、蓋出房子來住時,你就知道你可以獨當一面了。所以電視廣告說喝了某個牌子的啤酒才是真正的男人,勞動服務過的孩子知道不對,真正的男人跟喝什麼牌子的啤酒無關,跟你有無能力去服務別人有關係。

  本書最好的地方是作者在指出所有造成孩子沒有動機的因素後,最後給父母指出一條生路,建議父母可以怎麼做去改變孩子,讓孩子重拾動機。他在書中所提的方法都很簡單,只要有心,便可以做到的:如盡量帶孩子去跟大自然接觸,在他背青蛙的解剖圖之前,先知道什麼是青蛙,並且摸過青蛙、玩過蝌蚪。作者說內布拉斯加的學校不再用紙筆測驗來評估小學生對電流的知識,而是要他們自己組裝一個電迴路,如果組裝正確,那麼迴路板上的馬達就會動,鈴聲就會響。孩子從鈴聲中,不但得到他的自信心,還確實把電流的知識學進去了。作者的話使我想起李家同教授對臺灣電機系學生的批評,或許新任教育部長真的應該好好看一下這本書。

  另外,作者建議父母一定要用心替孩子找一個適合他的學校,學校跟孩子的契合實在太重要了,孩子一天有八個小時在學校生活,如果老師的教學、校長的理念不適合他,而他必須每天去受八個小時的罪,實在太可憐了。很多時候,適合哥哥的學校,對弟弟可能不合。我很贊成德國人的話:「沒有什麼天氣叫不好,只有合不合適的衣服。」

  作者特別強調不讓孩子走上歧路,必須替他指出另一條可行的路,行為才會改善。這點真是臺灣父母最常犯的錯誤,我們常懶得說理,都用權威的命令方式說話:「我告訴你不行就是不行」,使得孩子陽奉陰違、親子關係疏離。其實教養孩子是個藝術,材料不同,雕刻的方法就不同,逆著樹紋雕刻會糟蹋了好木頭。教養孩子絕對不是科學,科學有重複性,甲做成功、乙用同樣方式也會成功,但是教養孩子不是,別人孩子打罵會成材,你家孩子打罵會離家出走,不可東施效顰,以免誤了孩子的一生。

  世界變化的很快,二○○七年一月七日第一代的蘋果手機問市,在這十三年間,它整個革新了我們生活的方式,改變了我們對世界的看法。有鑑於此,作者花了很多時間和心血重新修訂這本書,添增很多這十年來大腦科學的新知識,以符合時代的需求。這增訂版比以前更像是一盞明燈,在父母走投無路不知該怎麼辦時,指出有效的親子教養方法和它背後的真諦,這真是一本難得的好書,誠摯的推薦給各位讀者。

第1章 謎團:缺乏動機的男孩

image

有比以前更多的年輕人倒在前進美國之夢的路旁,

這個結果就是驚慌的父母不知道為什麼他們的孩子

不能、不願獨立去過自己的生活。

他們像浮萍一樣,到處漂泊,

隨著生命的潮流把他帶到天涯海角。

為什麼有的男孩會成功,有的男孩卻毫不在乎地隨波逐流呢?

他要去哪裡?你能幫得上忙嗎?

這就是你和我要一起探討的核心問題。

第2章 第一個因素:學校的改變

image

假如人是精密的電腦,學習就等於電腦程式,老師就是電腦程式設計師。

假如我們給老師一套正確的標準指示,

那麼只要按一下開關,小孩子就會學習了,

一種有效率、不可能出錯的學習。

只要老師依照指示執行命令,好的學習結果就指日可待。

完全不可能出錯。保證不失敗。只要學生和電腦一樣就行了。

但他們不是。

電腦不需要動機就能做你要它做的事,但是孩子需要動機。

第3章 第二個因素:電玩遊戲

image

電玩遊戲的破壞性效果不在男生的認知能力或他的反應時間上,

而在他的動機和他跟真實世界的連接上。

這些男生可能不是高動機的,但是他們的動機被引導到不對的地方,出軌了。

他們是有動機,但是他們與真實世界分離了。

電玩世界對他們來說更真實,至少比他們的功課、成績和大學申請信的世界更真實。

電玩遊戲特別傾向於提升與真實世界的中斷和分離,

正是因為這種暴力的不真實性。

你的兒子知道他不能對學校中他不喜歡的孩子發射光子魚雷。

第4章 第三個因素:ADHD的藥物

image

「但是這有傷害嗎?」一個家長問我。

假如這種藥物幫助孩子在班上的表現好,又沒有什麼傷害,

為什麼不給他吃呢?

現在,我們就要來看這個重要的問題:有沒有害?害在哪裡?

許多男孩在服用這些藥物時看起來都沒事。

這些父母親所不知道的,而醫生也可能不知道的,

是即使服用這些藥的期間很短,還是可以造成人格的改變。

一個本來很隨和、外向、有冒險精神的男孩,會變得懶惰和易怒。

第5章 第四個因素:內分泌幹擾物質

image

我們已經看到暴露在環境雌激素下會引起肥胖,男女都不能倖免。

暴露在合成的內分泌幹擾物質之下會加速女生的青春期到來,

同樣的化學物質會干擾或減慢男生青春期的歷程。

我們現在也知道這些物質可以引起注意力缺失過動症。

科學家現在發現延後的青春期、過胖和注意力缺失過動症

三者一起發生的機率大於我們預期的,

但還是隻有在男生身上。

我們毒害環境的結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 結果:賴家王老五

image

當一位研究者問大學生結婚比較好、還是單身一輩子比較好時,

三分之二的男生選結婚比較好,一半以上的女生認為一輩子單身比較好。

二十五年前,三十五到四十歲的美國男人只有百分之八從來沒有結過婚,現在是百分之二十二,而且數字還在往上升。

《賴家王老五》一上演,立刻變成賣座第一的電影,

我很驚訝這個電影竟然非常真確地抓住了我這七年所看到的現象。

男主角是個很聰明的人,他完全可以很成功、很有成就,

但就是沒有任何動機去完成任何真實的事情。

第7章 第五個因素:被遺棄神祇的復仇

image

文化有一部分是由「什麼是一個真正的男人」這個問題的答案所界定的,

忽略這個問題的後果並不是一個雌雄同體的孩子的世代。

結果是一方面,年輕男孩沒有動機去工作或服務,

對無限期住在父母家不覺羞恥,對只拿不給也不覺得羞恥

另一方面,我們開始得到一個可怕的收成,

一些在乎自己是不是真正男人的年輕人,在沒有成年男子團體的引導下,轉向幫派暴力、藥物濫用或飆車來肯定他們的男性認同。

這個男子氣概的崩盤及貶值,是目前青少年流行文化現象背後的主因。

第8章 解藥:讓男孩重拾動機

image

我並沒有全部的答案,事實上,我還差得遠。

但是我知道我們至少在問對的問題。

那些採取策略的家長從美國的各個角落寄給我成功的故事,

這些故事是不分族群、種族、地理位置,

也不分男孩、少男、二十歲的年輕人。

假如這本書你看到這裡了,你知道我們還有很多的工作要做,

沒有人可以獨力完成,我們必須一起努力才行。

[1] 我在本書中提到的global Halo(《最後一戰》)比賽是在二○○五年五月份舉辦的,雖然主辦者要求參與者必須十八歲以上才能進入,但是會場並無任何機制來執行這個規定。電玩遊戲競賽現在叫做「電子運動」(e-sports),從二○○五年就有了,《紐約時報》二○一四年八月三十日有篇文章「電子運動吸引了真正的人群和大量的金錢」(In E-sports, Video Gamers Draw Real Crowds and Big Money),記者Nick Wingfield把這個競賽形容為Defense of the Ancients (DOTA) 競賽,是兩隊電玩專家在西雅圖籃球場比賽,獎金高達一千一百萬美元,現場觀賽的門票很貴但仍有一萬一千人去觀賽。芝加哥的Robert Morris大學提供贏家五十萬美金的獎學金,就像運動員的獎學金一樣,現在美國的長春藤盟校(Ivy League)也提供校際比賽。Wingfield的文章可在網路上下載,www.nytimes.com/2014/08/31/technology/esports-explosion- brings-opportunity-riches-for-video-gamers.html。

[4] 如我在我的書《教養,你可以做得更好》(遠流出版)中指出,一九七九年時,只有1.2%的美國孩子,即一千個人中有十二個,被診斷為我們現在稱之為ADHD的孩子,那個時候叫做「童年期動感過度反應症」(hyperkinetic reaction of childhood),男女生的比例為二比一或更多,所以我們可以推測在一九七九年時應該是1.6%的男生和0.8%的女生(這樣得出的平均值為1.2%)。到二○一三年時,美國疾病控制和預防中心(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)宣佈美國高中男生有20%被診斷為ADHD,幾乎是一九七九年的十倍,從1.6%漲到20%,請看《教養,你可以做得更好》第三章。

[12] 很多學術研究都顯現派醋甲酯和安非他命──這兩個是藥物的主要成分──會對發展中的大腦多巴胺感受體聚集的地方有長期的改變,這個幹擾效應在伏隔核的地方最大,這不令人驚奇,因為伏隔核正是多巴胺感受體最密集的地方,密西根大學的Terry Robinson和Bryan Kolb是最早發現低劑的安非他命會導致伏隔核神經細胞受損的幾個人之一,他們第一次把這發現寫在「使用安非他命所導致的伏隔核和前額葉皮質神經細胞持久的結構改變」(Persistent Structural Modifications in Nucleus Accumbens and Prefrontal Cortex Neurons Produced by Previous Experiences with Amphetamine)刊登在《神經科學期刊》(Journal of Neuroscience)一九九七年一七卷八四九一─八四九七頁。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.

• 華盛頓州和愛達荷州:James Nagler和他的同事檢查華盛頓州和愛達荷州哥倫比亞河流域,發現許多看起來像雌魚的魚,撈起來做DNA檢驗時發現其實是雄魚。這些魚已經完全雌性化了。牠們看起來像雌性,牠們產卵而不產精子,但是牠們在基因上是雄性,參見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.
• 佛羅裡達州:美國漁業與野生動物管理署的Louis Guillette和他的同事發現佛羅裡達州中部雄性鱷魚的睪丸萎縮。這些鱷魚血液中的雄性荷爾蒙也異常的少,但是雌性荷爾蒙卻不正常的高。同樣的,在阿波卜卡湖附近,離奧蘭多市不遠的野生動物保護區中的雄性蟒蛇快要絕種了,一部分原因是這些雄蟒蛇已不能再製造精子了。這個雄蟒蛇的去男性化和水池裡塑膠中含的鄰苯二甲酸鹽與丙二酚有關。參見Louis J.

[9] 事實上,記錄中有兩個文化打破了這個規矩:大溪地和馬來西亞的Semai文化,在這兩個文化中,勇敢的人並沒有比懦弱的人更受尊敬,努力工作的人也不被看好,Semai的文化沒有傳統的男性主義,沒有競爭,沒有私人擁有的土地,也沒有保護女人不受男人侵害的概念,Gilmore在他的《製造男人》(Manhood in the Making)一書中(二一二頁)說:「Semai文化沒有任何男性的榮耀或作為父親的光榮去激勵他們,Semai男人不抵抗,簡單地說,Semai男人不擔心榮譽、為人父或社交界線,」「他們的生活中沒有什麼性別差異,所有東西都共享,他們完全沒有『我的東西』的概念,我的、你的,對他們沒有意義。」(二一四頁)。假如你想研究Semai人,你得趕快,這個文化在以驚人的速度在消失中,雖然跟其他文化只有一點點的接觸,他們也完全沒有辦法存活在現在的社會裡。
第二個是大溪地的原住民文化,這個文化現在已經絕跡了,Gilmore說大溪地原住民文化可能是最沒有性別差異的社會文化,即使今天,大溪地語言中仍然沒有男人和女人的詞彙,在傳統大溪地文化中,成年人的角色幾乎完全沒有性別差異,大溪地男人和女人一起負擔養育孩子、煮飯、做家務的責任。
是什麼因素使大溪地發展出這種中性的文化?第一個原因很可能是資源豐富,Gilmore發現大溪地和它附近的島嶼幾乎不需要努力或風險就能拿到足夠的食物,而大部分的人類社區資源都是不足的。取之不盡,用之不絕的資源使得大溪地跟地球上其他地方不一樣,Gilmore在他二二四頁的結論中說:「環境越惡劣,資源越匱乏,成為男子漢大丈夫的壓力和動機越大」。
第二個因素是缺乏和其他文化交流,這點對Semai人也適用,Gilmore認為在人類其他社群中,「真正的男人」的主要功能是跟別的社區交涉:或是透過打戰臣服於人,或是透過交涉和平共處,大溪地人一直到歐洲人於一八○○年來殖民,他們沒有跟外界聯絡,自從傳教士在一八一五年到達大溪地後,在短短的六十年間,大溪地自己的文化在Pomare女王四世駕崩後,整個文化便消失了,「在一個世代之間,傳統的大溪地文化更徹底毀滅掉了」,Jean-Bernard Carillet在他的《大溪地和法國的波里尼西亞》(Tahiti and French Polynesia)一書(這本書二○○○年在澳洲墨爾本出版)一三頁中說,Semai文化除了在最遙遠的森林中,已經幾乎滅絕了。
這兩個文化都無法在跟外界接觸以後存活下來,即使一個世代的時間都不可能,這個快速的崩潰顯示一個文化要持久,它需要有「真正的男人」才能在跟別的文化接觸後還能存活下來,沒有性別差異的文化無法持久。

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:

• 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.

重新認識身邊的男孩

邢小萍 臺北市永安國小校長

  我是位小學校長,最喜歡觀察校園中孩子的各種學習活動,當孩子們走進我的辦公室,最先看到的一定是書,然後小男孩就會關注到我辦公桌上的彈珠臺、扭蛋機和機器人,確實和小女生不大相同!我自己有兩個女兒,雖然沒有教養兒子的經驗,但是從心理學家薩克斯醫生的筆下,讓我得以應證教學近四十年的觀察──性別差異是真實存在的!

  一開始,相信很多讀者一定跟我一樣好奇,這本書的書名是《BOYS ADRIFT》洪蘭老師翻譯成《浮萍男孩》。原來是因為許多父母感覺到男孩像浮萍一樣到處漂泊,好像缺乏強烈的動機,隨著生命的潮流把他帶到天涯海角。 家庭醫師暨心理學家薩克斯則認為是社會和生物兩方面因素的共同影響,造成了讓男孩漂流的環境。如果你以為這是一本醫學理論的書,那就大錯特錯了!

  本書的作者像說故事一般,將他引用的研究報告、理論基礎和醫學臨床上的觀察結合案例,讓我們明白:男女生大腦在生物基礎上根本就不同,要了解彼此的差異才能提供孩子合適的教養與教育。

  當我們閱讀這本書時,經常會有「啊哈!」的驚呼聲,尤其是教育現場的高年級老師總是抱怨班上的男孩子人際互動不佳、生活自理能力差、挫折容忍力不足、自我管理能力缺乏……;原來是因為:父母、老師對性別差異的迷思。我們應該認清男生和女生在遊戲時的不同、在學習優勢的不同,他們面對衝突的型態不同、辨識方位的策略不同、看待外界的方式也不同、連聽覺敏感度都不同。

  作者也歸納出五個導致男孩缺乏動機的原兇:像是在學校裡,太多講述取代動手做的經驗、從競爭的形態移轉到大家都是贏家,造就許多男孩不喜歡到學校。其次是手機或電玩遊戲的過度使用,讓男孩對真實世界的成功和成就不再有興趣。還有過動症的過度診斷和用藥,其實許多被誤診的男孩,只是需要一個適合他們發展的課程表,和一個懂得如何教男生的老師。當然環境中雌激素幹擾內分泌平衡,嚴重打擊男孩的內分泌系統。最後是流行文化對男性氣概的貶抑,性別角色認同在男孩轉變成男人的過程中需要適當引導和有成熟的男性角色典範,讓他們學習如何成為真正的男人。真的是一針見血!

  如果我們想讓男孩學習獨立負責,薩克斯醫生也提醒我們在教育上,老師父母需要為孩子量身打造,設計適合男孩女孩不同的學習環境。就像是男孩眼睛就自動會聚焦機器人、彈珠臺是很自然的。父母也必須清楚知道孩子現在正在玩的遊戲,而不是放任!

  恭喜你打開這本《浮萍男孩》!我們要一起用正確的方法來引起孩子的動機,用適合的方式來陪伴男孩的成長!適性發展,天賦展能,當然也包含你我身邊正在成長的男孩!
