| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In the present study, we supposed that “Mamatomo”, which means friendship between mothers rearing little children, formed small groups. The purposes of this study were (1) to examine how mothers formed networks with their friends (i.e., strength and diversity of ties in the networks), (2) to find the characteristics of interpersonal conflict among friends, and the effect of social context on conflicts and the coping strategies, (3) to examine the effect of relationship with friends on prosocial activities.
The findings are as follows. (1) The ties in networks of mothers were relatively weak, (2) interpersonal conflicts were likely to be occurred in the groups with strong ties, (3) coping to the conflicts were moderated by social context (i.e., relational mobility), and (4) when mothers perceived good relationships with their friends in a prosocial activities, they had the intentions to participate in further prosocial activities.
