Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study aimed to clarify the influence of awareness of parental aging on parent-child relationships throughout young adulthood. Firstly, the relationship between awareness of parental aging and attitude toward parental aging was examined. Secondly, the relationship of awareness of parental aging with gratitude to parents and filial responsibility was investigated. Finally, a longitudinal online survey was conducted at 3 time points with Japanese participants aged 20 to 39 years. The results suggest that a sense of identity promotes positive awareness of parental aging and reduces negative awareness. In addition, negative awareness of parental aging reduces sense of identity.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究の成果は、少子高齢社会が進行する現代日本において、長期化する親子関係の理解に貢献することができる。具体的には、以下の3つの意義がある。第1に、青年期から成人期にわたる親子関係について、親の老いの認知から理解するという理論的意義である。第2に、現代日本における高齢の親との関係を考える上での基礎資料となるという実践的意義である。第3に、縦断研究によって親の老いの認知とおとなになることの自覚(アイデンティティの感覚)との相互関係を示すことができたという方法論的意義である。
