Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

This study examines value differences in the U.S. and Japan among mothers of children between the ages of 3 and 8. Mothers provide information on current values, are instrumental in imparting future values to successive generations, and provide a matched sample of respondents in an important stage of the family lifecycle. American mothers generally identified self-respect and warm relationships with others as the most important value, while Japanese respondents selected fun and enjoyment in life and warm relationships with others. These findings are interpreted in the context of recent changes in Japanese society and previous research in the U.S. [Article copies available for a fee from The Haworth Document Delivery Service: 1-800-342-9678.
