Research Abstract

In this project we carried out cross-cultural and diachronic comparisons on the developmental viewpoints put forth in elementary school language textbooks published in 1960 and 2000 in 4 Asian countries (Japan, Korea, China, Taiwan) and 3 European countries (Britain, Germany and France) based on their presentation of family ideals, views on gender roles, views on parental roles and ideals of what determines a "good child". In addition we examined the relation of the results of the comparisons to social systems, economic conditions and measures to counter falling birthrates. We also carried out a questionnaire survey for late teens to 80 year olds in the 4 Eastern Asian countries on views on parental roles, views on gender roles, and views on childcare. Then, finally we compiled information on the relationships between the developmental views presented as ideals in the textbooks, the actual developmental views obtained through the questionnaire results, and the effects of societal and economic status on each generation. A summary of the research results follows:
1. Like in China and Taiwan, and in the former Eastern and Western Germany, although an almost identical language is used, if the social system is different, the views on parental and gender roles also differ.
2. There is a tendency for views on parental roles, gender roles and childcare to differ among generations, however the ideal of the "good child" in regards to personal relationships and behavior was unlikely to change.
3. From the questionnaires issued it was found that actual views on parental roles and views on childcare were related to social and economic stability and measures to counter falling birthrates. One similarity between the 4 Eastern Asian countries is a large shift in values for the 30-year-old generation.
