Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study is to clarify that one of the causes of gender personality imbalance, which has been considered to suppress psychological health and social adaptation of individuals, is a couple unit society with premise of marriage. And we developed family relational orientation scale to measure the strength of the tendency of individuals to incorporate couple unit society. As a result, although there was no direct relationship between family relational orientation and gender personality, we found that it affected behavioral aspects such as spouse selection.
