[Factorial structure of mutural cognition between parents and child].

Tsujioka's Children's Report of Parental Behavior Inventory (EICA) and its modification adapted to the parents were administered to the high school students (75 boys and 63 girls) and their parents. The results were analyzed by means of the Cliff's Procrustian factor analysis. In the first-order factor analysis, very congruent eight primary factors were obtained in two kinds of samples (boy-parents sample and girl-parents sample). These factors were 1. Acceptance in mother, 2. Autonomy in parents, 3. Identification in child, 4. Acceptance in father, 5. Autonomy in child, 6. Control in father, 7. Control in mother, and 8. Emotional support in child. Sex differences in children were examined in terms of the means and the standard deviations.
