项目摘要

Okinawa's divorce rate is the higher than all of the other prefectures. Due to this fact, grandparents take care of their grandchildren instead of their parent. Okinawa's birthrate and the number of elderly person over the age of 100 is also higher than the other prefectures. Therefore, it is important for us to know what the role of being a grandparent is. So when we are faced with the problems on the growth of our children and the pursuit of happiness of elderly person, we will have the ability to make and sound decision.The results of the study are as follows : .Functions of grandparents, as perceived by their grandchildren are ; "a safety base, " "transmitters of tradition and culture, " and "teachers of the meaning of life and death." .Granddaughters view their maternal grandmothers, more than paternal grandparents, as "a safety base", and "transmitters of tradition and culture", whereas, compared to grand daughters, grandsons shows no difference of relationship. .First grandchild's kinship with paternal grandparents was strong in Okinawa and Miyazaki. If father is a first son, the first grandchild's kinship with paternal grandparent was strong just in Okinawa. .Grandparents recognize their role as "transmitters of tradition and culture, " "accomplishing daily and instrumental task, " and "remembering their family event, ". .Grandparents get extra curricular activity, psychological support and instrumental support from their grandchildren. .The well-being of grandparents are based on acceptance of themselves and others, mental stability, direction in their lives. .The well-being and happiness of grandfather can be reduced by excessive daily and instrumental function for their grandchildren. .The well-being of grandparents is increased through recreation with their grandchildren.

冲绳的离婚率高于所有其他州。由于这个事实，祖父母照顾他们的孙子而不是父母。冲绳的出生率和100岁以上的老人人数也高于其他县。因此，重要的是要知道成为祖父母的作用是什么。因此，当我们面临有关子女成长的问题以及对老年人幸福的追求时，我们将有能力做出和合理的决定。研究的结果如下：祖父母的辅导，正如他们的孙子所感知的那样； “安全基础”，“传统和文化的发射机”和“生与死意义的老师”。。孙女认为他们的外祖母，不仅仅是祖父母，是“安全基础”和“传统和文化的发射器”，而与大女儿相比，孙子没有任何关系差异。。第一个孙子与祖父母的亲属关系在冲绳和宫崎骏很强。如果父亲是一个儿子，那么第一个孙子与父亲祖父母的亲属关系在冲绳岛很强。。。。。。
