Outline of Final Research Achievements

Parents and children experienced a parent-child interaction exercise program suited to the child's temperament. The results indicated that the vague anxieties of caregivers towards parenting decreased, and their sense of self-efficacy in parenting increased after the program, similar to a traditional parent-child interaction exercise program. Moreover, the caregivers were able to consider their children multifacetedly without feeling difficulties in incorporating the parent-child interaction exercise into their daily life.
Furthermore, vague anxieties about parenting decreased regardless of the format of parent-child interaction exercise suited to the child's temperament: face-to-face, online, or a revised online format based on the face-to-face format. However, only the group that experienced the face-to-face format decreased their parenting anxiety, including the aversion to the child, and experienced an increase in the sense of parenting self-efficacy.
