Outline of Final Research Achievements

To analyze and clarify aspects of the boundary between discipline and abuse by mothers raising preschool age children based on analysis of narratives regarding parenting behaviors.Semi-structured interviews were conducted on 26 mothers raising preschool-age children focusing on the experiences they considered to reflect the boundary between discipline and abuse. Interview transcripts were qualitatively analyzed using a modified grounded theory approach.
Categories reflecting aspects relating to the boundary between discipline and abuse were extracted as follows: “power to overwhelm the child unconsciously when their mother becomes emotional” and “differences in discipline depending on the attributes of the child”. Additional categories included “superiority of other people’s appraisal of discipline”; “accumulated fatigue from idealized images and responsibilities as a mother”; and “peace of mind to change according to surrounding support and mother’s capabilities”.
