| Research Abstract |
(1)Summary of Subjects : 200 mothers with jobs (150 at work and 50 on child-care leave) and 303 full-time mothers. The average age of the former was 32.98 ; the latter, 31.67. The number of families of a mother, a father, and a child/children was largest. The family members (except their husbands) whom the mothers relied on the most were their own mothers, and their mothers-in-law followed. Among the mothers at work, 41.5% had one child 39.0%, two. Among the full--time mothers, 46.7% had one child ; 40.7%, two.
(2)Summary of Variables : (1)The child-care satisfaction/useful-life subscale and the child-care burden/anxiety subscale of the child-care perspective scale (CPS-M97) for mothers with children three or under of our work consisted each of six items. (2)A self-respect scale, evaluation of support from husbands, other family members, and fellow mothers (each 14 items), and child-care perspectives depending on their quantities of child-care conversation with their husbands and their

sociality (child care gives mothers an opportunity for exchange and activities such as being on neighborly terms, and thereby mothers are nourished) were set.
(3)Results and Discussion : (1)A significant negative correlation was observed between their quantities of child-care conversation with their husbands and their child-care burden/anxiety. (2)A significant positive correlation was observed between their evaluation of support form their husbands and other family members and their self-respect, suggesting that mothers are relieved from the feelings of isolation through support from their husbands and other family members and can consider themselves as important beings. (3)The self-respect of full-time mothers of negative-type child-care perspective is significantly lower than that of full-time mothers of ambivalent type child-care perspective. It seems that if child-care burden/anxiety is low in the same way, the mental health of full-time mothers can be enhanced if people around them make approaches to them to see one of the two child-care perspectives affirmatively.
Note : There are four types of child-care perspective of two orthogonal axes of two subscales ; i.e., a negative type (low on the child-care satisfaction/useful-life scale and high on the child-care burden/anxiety scale), an ambivalent type (high on both the scales), a natural type (low on both the scales), and a affirmative type (high on the child-care satisfaction/useful-life scale and low on the child-care burden/anxiety scale).
(4)(1)A questionnaire survey in Thailand for the purpose of comparison was conducted on 258 mothers, (2)a handbook of child-care support to full-time mothers and their family members was prepared, and (3)child care by fathers was studied and a ninety-page report of research results was prepared.
