This study was intended to compare the social maturity score of the children under the control of institutions with those under that of parental care only.
300 preschool children (group A under the institution; 150, group B under the parental care; 150) have been studied during the period, from August 1, through September 20, 1974. Group A represents the children under the institutions and group B shows those under the parental care only. The following conclusions were obtained as the results of this study.
1. Social maturity score marked high among the preschool children under the control of institutions than among those under the parental care only.
2. In respect of sex, no statistically significant difference in social maturity score was observed according to sex, though female seemed to show slightly higher trend.
3. Among the children under the parental care, higher score in social maturity score was observed with the children whose father has higher education.
4. Educational level of mother seemed to be contributing for higher social maturity score among the children under the parental care.
5. Significant difference with social maturity score of preschool children was observed according to father´s occupation. Social age marked high in merchant, salary man, others, official and driver in that order.
6. The number of children didn´t seem to affect the social maturity score of preschool children.
7. No relationship was observed between birth order and the social maturity score of preschool children.
8. Better communication ability was observed among the children under the control of institutions than those tinder the mother´s care only.
9. The number of children didn´t seem to affect communication ability in the social maturity score of preschool children.
10. Birth order didn´t seem to affect socialization ability in the social maturity score of preschool child.
As we know from above, the prudential method of infant care contributes to educating future generations as well as to lessening the psychological burden of mothers.
