Effect of the estimation for their father on their sense of eating with families in course of the development.

—toward for junior and senior high school, and university students

Abstract

The effects of estimating their father's character on their sense of eating with the family was investigated by questionnaire studies for junior and senior high school and university students who were in the psychologically weaning stage.
Although male students showed the tendency to accept the dignity for their father as a good characteristic according to their development, female students showed the tendency to regard it as an unfavorable characteristic. In the case of female students, their sense of eating with the family was shown to be more influenced by more complicated factors than the male students, i.e., pleasant memories with father, frequency of eating alone through their daily life and evaluation of their father's life. Althought male students had many pleasant memories with their father qualitatively, female students made much of it not only qualitatively but quantitatively.
The most important factor that influences their sense of eating with families was thought to be the affirmative sense for their father through respect and friendliness.
The frequency of eating alone was correlated with unpleasant memories with families and with a sense of solitary in the family.
