抄録

　　The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between “incomplete communication” of junior high school students with their mothers and their willingness to attend school. One of the most important factors in family of students lack of interest in attending school is "incomplete communication" they have with their parents.

　　A questionnaire which was prepared on the basis of Bateson’s communication theory was used. Subjects were 561 junior high school students. A group with a willingness to attend school and a group with an unwillingness to attend school were chosen.

　　The result of analysis of variance of three sources was applied. The students with an unwillingness to attend school showed significantly higher scores of “incomplete communication” between themselves and their mothers than those with a willingness to attend school.

　　This result showed that "incomplete communication" of mothers with their children concerning school attendance precipitates the unwillingness to attend school. The importance of counselors' consultation with mothers in educational counseling is further discussend.
