Abstract
The purposes of this paper are, 1) to determine the dimensions representing the structure of conscious level “sex-role-acceptance” by the female adolescents in relation to the environments within which the subjects were brought up and educated, and 2) to investigate several factors under which the conscious structure of role-acceptance have been deeply influenced: i.e., parents, sibling, boy friends in intimate terms, and others (male or female). Our data were collected from more than 1800 female students, and were subjected to multivariate analyses. The results were: 1) The following three dimensions pertaining to their sex-role-related decisionmaking were obtained: Biological, Sociahmotivational, and Self-interest. 2) The difference in the conscious-structure between the role acceptance group and the non-acceptance group was statistically significant. 3) the father-daughter interaction was significantly important in creating an active contributional will in the girls' life-plan, while the mother-daughter interaction turned out to have a rather negative influence upon their will of contribution. 4) The lack of identification with parents was sometimes compensated by their identification with others. The social importance of positive, warm support for the youngsters was clearly demonstrated.
