The determinants of well-being : In case of child-rearing woman

Abstract

　This study was aimed to describe the factors for well-being of woman in child-rearing period.

　The first study (the subjects were 204 mothers) explored the factors for well-being, from data of questionnaire survey. The results showed that, effects from “views of childcare” to “well-being” were big, but effects from “work values” were not.

　The second study (the subjects were 10 mothers) examined and described in more details about woman’s well-being, and the supports that leads to improve the well-being, from the interview research. The mother which shows low well-being, takes more negative about child, husband, or supports from others, than the high well-being mothers, because they can’t change the view point to take the stressful scene more better.

　Moreover, it was found that not only fully support, but also support to promote view changing, will be effective to improve the child-rearing mother’s well-being.
