| Research Abstract |
We examined young Japanese mothers attitude towards child-rearing through questionaire method. The main results are as follows. They had not only positive attitude but also negative attitude towards their children and child-rearing. The negative attitude showed that they had conflict between child-rearing and their self-actualization. Working mothers who wanted to continue their job got higher positive score for child-rearing than mothers who don't want to do. Non-working mothers who wanted to stay at home with their children and didn't want to work, got higher positive score than mothers who were eager to get jobs. As for the score for psychological well-being , the situation was the same. And working mothers who thought working realize self-actualization got higher positive score for child-rearing and for psychological well-being. Non-working mothers who thought similarly got higher positive score for child-rearing but not for psychological well-being. But those mothers who thought working realize self-actualization also got higher negative score for child-rearing. This negative attitude towards child-rearing seems to show no not only their irritation but also forward -looking approach to their problems in the life-cycle. We also examined data of Danish parents and young women, in addition to Japanese fathers and young women.
