Abstract
To observe the child patients look at the dentist in the clinic, we tried to find out in the experiment Report 1 what characteristics there are in the way child patients look at the dentist.
In Report 2, we tried to investigate the effects of psychological and circumstantial factors on the eye movement of the children when they saw a photograph of the face of a dentist. We made multivariate analysis using Hayashi's Quantification Scaling Type I and Type II Method.
The following is a summary of our findings:
1) The factors associated with the subjects' psychology and personality had some influence upon their eye movement which reflected the gaps in their ages.
2) The mother-child relationships especially the types in the Yatabe-Guilford. personality inventory, constituted influential factors underlining the differences in the eye movement among the juvenile subjects.
3) The factors ralated to family conditions in addition to the differences in age affected the eye movement of the children, although to a lesser extent.
