Outline of Final Research Achievements	The present research project aimed to examine the mechanism of the loss of willpower and how we can support it, by focusing on home environment and peer relationship. The results we have obtained so far are as follows. First, we have newly developed short scale to measure socio-economic status of the family and Japanese Short version of the Spence Children’s Anxiety Scale. Second, we have found the intergenerational relationship of parents’ and adolescents’ motivational beliefs and their influence on depressive symptoms of adolescents. Third, we have shown the effect of low-intensity aerobic exercise on the part of the measures of motivation in the classroom. These results were published in Japanese and international journal and have all been well-cited by other researchers.
