Trend of the Researches of Family Relationship Reported at the General Meeting of Japan Home Economics Association

Abstract

This investigation is based on the reports already published at the general meeting from 9th to 18th Japan Home Economics Association. It is to put an focus on the family relationship, especially the “persons” as the members of the family. We can offer the following five points.
1. There are 176 appropriate reports, which is 10% of the all.
2. The contents are mainly on the children, especially their foods and their development.
3. As for the research method, most of them have used interview and questionair methods.
4. The subject of the researches are mostly housewives and children.
5. Generally, there are few which dealt with the relation between persons and the environmental situations to make an effect on the persons.
We are mainly developed on the summary books to follow the trend. But they are too brief for another more detailed study. So in the future, we have to examine these points closely on the “Journal of Home Economics”.
