| Research Abstract |
We studied on friendship between mothers rearing little children(i. e., mum-friend). As for expectation for the role of mum-friends, three factors were obtained, that is autonomy, similarity and support. Expectation for support was highest of them and it was suggested that mum-friendship was similar to friendship between female high school students. Moreover, it was found that expectation for autonomy was significantly higher in mum-friend than in female students. We also found three types of interpersonal conflicts between mum-friends ; that is, conflicts concerning with their children, conflicts concerning with friends' personality and conflicts by various causes. The types of conflicts yielded the difference of attitude to friends and coping strategies for conflicts.
