abstract="I conducted a self-administered questionnaire survey of 1500 mothers with school children living in government-designated cities (13 cities) in Japan, and tried to find out possible factors for their abusive behavior. The questionnaire deals with multi-faceted factors including inappropriate childcare behavior, mental health, motherhood consciousness, self-respect, and a supportive environment. Using a multiple linear regression analysis, a tendency for dissociation, refusal of motherhood consciousness, mothers' ages, self-respect, and domestic violence were selected. Among these factors, the dissociation tendency had the largest effect. Although &quot;the number of children&quot; had influenced abuse most in infant's survey, it was a tendency for dissociation in schoolchildren's survey. A dissociation tendency has a high possibility of becoming a hindrance in the cognition of a mother's abuse action. This research indicated that what is needed is not only providing mothers with concrete childcare assistance, but also possessing a perspective on their dissociation tendency and assisting them to maintain stable mental health.<p />",
