| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
From the viewpoint that it was important to look into child-rearing from the viewpoint of social psychology, this research focused on the function of "social surrogates" as others to expand the interpersonal resources of the mothers. Social surrogate hypothesis is that some people, especially with low social skill (e.g., high shyness), use a familiar other as a social surrogate to cope with new social situations. We regard this idea as useful for explaining the expansion and re-construction of social networks. From the results of several studies, we suggest that it would be useful to use their spouse and old friends as social surrogates for expanding their social support networks.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
子育て中の対人ネットワークの維持・拡大や縮小を抑制する効果に関して，「社会的代理人」の概念を適用したことが本研究における学術的・社会的意義である。子育て期の人々に，「社会的代理人」の活用の意義を示すことは，孤立からの回避のためのきっかけを提示することになる。さらに，子育てに関する周囲の人々や支援者が「社会的代理人」の機能を理解し，子育て期の人々と地域社会をつなぐ役割をより一層担うようになり，その結果地域社会での子育て環境や体制の充実の促進にも寄与すると考えられる。
