Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to make it clear the relationship between marital relation and the attitude of mothers' childcare. Makino(1982) cleared, marital relation is important for child-care anxiety by statistical research. So, this paper focus marital relation and clear the real mother by open-ended question. Then I made an investigation on child-care into 1666 mothers. (They are nursery pupil's mothers and mothers who participated in the child care circles. ) I classify four types under marital relation. I: The degree of communication is high and the degree of fathers' understanding of mothers' child-care is high. II: The degree of communication is high and the degree of fathers' understanding of mothers' child-care is low. III: The degree of communication is low and the degree of fathers' understanding of mothers' child-care is high. IV: The degree of communication is low and the degree of fathers' understanding of mothers' child-care is low. I analyzed the relationship between these four types and open-ended question by mothers. The various following points became clear as a result of the analysis. When mothers have fathers' cooperation, they take child-care in a positive light. When mothers don't have fathers' cooperation, they take child-care in a negative light. But only fathers' cooperation is not enough for mother' child-care. Social support is necessary for mother's child-care, too.
