Abstract

An Story Completion Test (SCT) to measure guilt feeling was devised and administered to several groups; 37 Christian students, 27 Tenriist students, 11 Buddhist students, 84 non-religion students and 40 delinquent boys. Factorial structure of guilt feeling was investigated by factor analysis method, which revealed 2 factors. They were “Illegality” and “Impulsiveness”. Parents' child rearing attitude, personality and life attitude were taken as major factors of acquiring guilt feeling. The relationship between those 3 factors and guilt feeling measure was investigated respectively. Consistent relationships were gained concerning factors of personality and life attitude. But clear-cut relations were not found concerning child rearing factors. Those results were analyzed in many respects.
