Ten married women aged 34-35 of different family structures and employment statuses were interviewed by telephone. Unlike the traditional investigation about women's psychological well-being,this investigation is aimed at looking into women's feeling of happiness more concretely. The detailed questions asked at the interview included when and how they felt shiawase,life satisfaction and a sense of fulfillment plus what their ikigai(things that give them a sense of being alive) and their personal goals were.The results show that the relationships with their husbands and children in general strongly influenced the women's sense of shiawase. However,their satisfaction and personal goals were associated with paidworks and / or hobbies or other activities outside the home. Their sense of fulfillment depended on whether they accomplished their roles as housewives or as workers. Some women referred to their children as ikigai,while others did not. As the social norms and life styles of married women in ]apan have been changing,the women are trying to find the meaning of their own lives as independent people.}, pages = {21--41}, title = {しあわせとは何か - 成人女性を対象としたインタビュー調査から -<特集> 病むこととすこやかさ}, volume = {14}, year = {2000}, yomi = {ヨシムラ, ノリコ and モリナガ, ヤスコ and ヒョウドウ, ケイコ and コシ, リョウコ} }
