| Research Abstract |
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to reveal the process of changes of the IWM (Internal Working Model) from childhood to adolescence. Especially, this study focused on the encounter with 'significant other except family members as a factor influencing the changes of IWM, and some changes were examined from the view points of the image of the significant other and its influence.
Methods: The participants were 112 university students (47 males and 63 females). The following questionnaires were used: IWM Scale for Childhood, IWM Scale for Adolescence (Nakao & Kato, 2005), and participants were asked about 1. The attribution of the significant other, 2. The image of the significant other, 3. The influence from the significant other.
Results: Through the factor analysis of IWM Scale for Childhood and other Scales, first, two factors, 'abandonment anxiety' and 'avoidance of intimacy' were extracted like the preceding study. And, as characteristics of the significant other, three factors, 'reliable existence', ‘positive existence', and 'adult existence', were extracted this time, and also, as the influence from the significant other, three factors, 'mistrust against persons', 'self acceptance', and ‘emotional disturbance' were picked up.
Moreover, about the changes of IWM from childhood to adolescence, 54 persons had same changes, that is, the changes of IWM from balance to imbalance or imbalance to balance. Many of the significant others in changing were 'teacher', 'friend, 'boy /girl friend'. And from the changes of the scores of the scales from childhood to adolescence, it was suggested that the encounter with 'positive' significant other makes the tendency of 'avoidance of intimacy' decreased, and both `abandonment anxiety' and 'avoidance of intimacy' make the tendency of ‘mistrust against persons' increased.
