女性の日常生活の中で料理の遂行を動機付ける因子に関する家族形態および年代別の検討

A study of factors to motivate to cook in women's daily life by family formations and age

要旨：女性の日常生活の中で，料理の遂行を動機付ける因子について家族形態や年代別に検討した．その結果，大切に思う家族の存在が遂行を後押しし，子育てなどで多忙な時期では，料理を日常の義務と捉える傾向が強くなることが示唆された．また，子供の成長と共に再び，料理を通じたコミュニケーションに目が向くようになるなど，家族形態の変化に伴い，遂行を動機付ける因子や作業がもつ意味に変化があることが示唆された．これらのことから料理という作業を動機付ける因子は，家族形態で特徴があること，喜んでほしい相手の存在や適度に余裕のある環境下での取組みは，正の感情を喚起し料理の獲得や遂行の質に良好な影響を与えると推察された．

　The purpose of this study is to show the factors to motivate to cook in women's daily life. We analyzed the differences of the factors by the family formations. Most of the women answered that they cooked for the health maintenance and the family. However, our results showed that newly married women and women who lived with grandchildren felt the factor of communication in cooking was very important. They also answered that cooking was very enjoyable. On the other hand, women who lived with younger children answered that the cooking was the duty of a house wife. They also tended to answer that the cooking was painful. These results indicate that the factors to motivate to cook are different according to the family formation. These results also indicate that cooking has value for the family and that cooking under comfortable environments may contribute to positive emotions and to good performance when cooking.
