Abstract
This paper is the third one on continuation. We have analyzed the redults of investigation on the background of decision-making among pupils and students about home and family life. The questionnaire for this paper was based on the nation-wide questionnaire; in the last research, further items were added to obtain free response about time spending and room keeping as well as intimate relationship among the family members. The results of the data from free responses are as follows: In spending their time in their room, the males seek physically relaxed state, while the females seek mental relaxation. About spending time with friends, the males want to enjoy playing games and the females want to be happy chatting with each other. To build up their own environment, the younger respondents decorate the walls with a variety of pictures and posters, and arrange their favorite items on tables and shelves. Older ones, on the other hand, have interest in arranging furniture and interior decoration. Both sexes of all grade levels are fully aware of the significance as well as the way of room keeping and care. Finally, as the younger one grow older, they tend to refuse other members of the family to invade their sanctuary, i.e., entering and fixing their room.
