大学生における親性準備性向上プログラムの効果についての検討

In this study, parental readiness is defined as the ability to play a role as a member of a society that supports child rearing that develops throughout life, regardless of male or female. We examined the relationship between parental readiness and knowledge of infant development, the Temporal Perspective Experience Scale, and the Multidimensional Empathy Scale in college students (Study I). The results showed that there was a correlation between the two. Among the university students who cooperated in Study I, the program was administered to three male university students who cooperated in a program to improve parental readiness (Study II). As a result, it was found from their impressions that their awareness of child-rearing had changed by participating in the program.
