子どもの遊びに対する母親の意識 : 母親の属性からみた意識の差異

抄録

The purpose of this study was to consider how mother was concerned with the children's play. In this study the author investigated on the mother's attitude to children's play, and then examined its relation to mother's attribute (operation, number of children, stress, exercise). As a result, four factors were identified, namely 1) cooperation, 2) dependency, 3) independency and 4) relation to the child. And the factor of cooperation influencing upon children's play was significantly correlated with number of children, stress and exercise. In a sense, mother of having plural children, with taking regular exercise, no stress, brings up the consciousness of cooperation by herself through the experience of daily life, and also comes to realize the value of play for children. Such recognition will proceed to maintain the change of children's play. Also, the number of children and years were interacted in the factor of dependency. The factor of dependency for mother of having a child was essentially characteristic, therefore, it is necessary for us sufficiently to investigate it.
