Research Abstract	This study was developed through the former research on feeling about parent's positive affection of child-rearing. In this study, the Positive Affection of Child-Rearing Scale (PACS)was used to evaluate a support group program for mothers managed by a local government. The purpose of the study was to verify the scale and to identify whether it is possible to use for the evaluation. As a result of this study, the reliability and validity of the PACS was confirmed, and it was suggested that the PACS was useful to evaluate the support group program for mothers managed by a local government. Furthermore, the contents of the support program for mothers in the future were discussed.
