本研究旨在探討離異者對離異事件理性信念、生氣特質與社會適應之關係，並進一步探討離異者對離異事件理性信念、生氣特質對於社會適應的影響。本研究採用問卷調查的方式，以高雄市、屏東縣市離異者為研究對象，使用「離異者理性信念量表」、「生氣特質量表」、「社會適應量表」等測量工具，共計發出問卷750 份，得有效問卷239 份，主要發現如下：（一）離異者不合理信念出現頻率趨向中度；生氣特質出現頻率中度偏低；社會適應情形大致良好；（二）不同背景變項之離異者其不合理信念、生氣特質與社會適應有差異；（三）不合理信念與生氣特質有顯著的正相關，與社會適應有顯著負相關；生氣特質與社會適應有顯著負相關；（四）離異者背景變項與不合理信念對社會適應具有某種程度的預測力，其中以「逃避困難」層面的預測力最大。根據研究結果，本研究針對離異朋友、政府、社會及相關單位及後續研究提供建議。
