The Possession of Children's Room and How to Use Their Room, and Children's and Their Mothers' View of Children's Room When Comared with Their Age

Studies on the Children's Room (Part 1)

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to grasp how greatly children change in their way of possession, use and directional intention of their room as they grow older, and to make clear how change in sex, and change in directional intention of mothers and children.
In this paper, the children (fifth-grade pupils, sixth-grade pupils, eighth-grade pupils and eleventh-grade pupils) and their mothers have been inquired.
The following results were obtained.
1) Most children who are fifth-grade and sixth-grade have the children's room and most eleventh-grade have their own room.
2) Children use their own room as anybody can come and go there. And children take care of their own children's room for themselves and control almost their private life in their own children's room as they grow older.
3) It has been found that the rate of possession of children's room is not different by sex, but how to use them is not the same by sex.
4) It has been found that children's view of the functions of children's room is different from mothers' one, and some problems exist on mothers' side.
