養育者の子育て目標志向性と育児行動に関する原因帰属との関連性

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between goal orientations of childcare and causal attribution of behavior in childcare on parents. Participants were 326 parents who are taking care of children. They were examined the consciousness of goal orientations of childcare and the causal attribution of behavior in childcare. A factor analysis revealed three factors for the goal orientations of childcare: "performance-approach goal orientations", "performance-avoidance goal orientations", and "learning goal orientations", and did three factors causal attribution of behavior in childcare: "the controllability", "supports from surroundings", and "the matters happening by accidents". We investigated the relations between their factors. As a result that the parents with performance-approach goal orientations were easy to attribute the controllability as a causal of succeeding behavior in childcare, and to do the supports from surroundings as a causal of failing behavior in childcare. On the other hand, the parents with performance-avoidance goal orientations were easy to attribute the supports from surroundings as a causal of succeeding behavior in childcare, and to do the controllability as a causal of failing behavior in childcare. the parents with learning goal orientations were easy to attribute the controllability as a causal of succeeding behavior in childcare It was suggested in this study that the child care support which parents need is different by the difference of their goal orientations of childcare.
