Outline of Final Research Achievements

Parenting attitudes have a significant and long-term impact on the growth and development of children and the physical and mental health of both parents and children. For parents to avoid inappropriate parenting styles and provide appropriate parenting, community-based support is needed to enable them to review their child-rearing attitudes and provide opportunities to face themselves and develop themselves through child-rearing. In this study, with the goal of deriving effective child-rearing support, we developed a Japanese version of the child-rearing attitude scale, built a system to utilize programs in the community to learn and train appropriate child-rearing methods, and conducted community-based participatory research, Community-based Participatory (CBPR).

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本邦では養育態度の様々な側面を網羅的にアセスメントできる尺度がこれまで存在しなかったため、研究・実践においても非常に限られた側面しかとらえられなかったが、本研究において作成された養育態度尺度は不適切なものだけでなく適切な養育態度も含み、心理的コントロールを含む世界的にも新しい内容である。親の養育態度と子どものアウトカムの関連を示し、現在の日本の養育と養育が子どもの性格に与えている影響について非常に有益な示唆を与えるものである。研究結果を元に地域の保健師や親に対して、育児支援、あるいは親自身のセルフケアを促す活動につなぎ、今後出版を通して広めていけることから社会的な意義が高い。
