THE QUALITATIVE RESEARCH ON THE OPINIONS AND ATTITUDES OF THE PEOPLE CONCERNING THE BABY-AID ACT

在本研究中，我在访谈过程中拍摄了照片和视频，访谈对象包括母亲、父亲、市长、幼儿园和日托中心的负责人、镇会议成员。访谈结束后，我对他们进行了分析，发现他们对救助婴儿法案的看法和态度的许多重要标志都被遗漏了，视觉社会学的方法还不成熟。没有标准化的方法来呈现视觉材料。我们已经收集了大量的视觉数据，但可能需要更多的时间来公布视觉数据的分析结果。虽然本研究作为定性研究的一个例子，我注意到，定性和定量研究都是必要的，以实现最初的目标，分析的决策生育。除了访谈之外，我还进行了邮寄问卷调查。研究结果表明：（1）老年子女的性别对父母生育第三胎的决策没有影响;（B）父亲的兄弟姐妹数对子女数没有影响，但母亲的兄弟姐妹数与子女数有显著关系;（3）父母的子女数与子女数之间存在显著关系那些认为已婚夫妇生孩子是自然的人比那些不这么认为的人生的孩子多那些希望有很多孩子的人实际上有很多孩子。e）夫妇是否与父母住在一起对孩子的数量没有影响。f）收入，第三个孩子的决定不受住房和妻子工作的影响，父母决定要第三个或更多孩子是因为他们想这样做。这种决定不受任何物质因素的直接控制。据推测，土鲁塔镇婴儿救助法的颁布代表了该镇对婴儿的欢迎气氛，这对父母生育第三个或更多孩子的决策产生了影响。

In this study, I took photo pictures and videos during the interviews with the mothers, the fathers, the mayor, the principals of the kindergarten and the day-care center, the members of the town meeting. After the interviews, I analyzed them and found that many important signs concerning their opinions and attitudes toward the act for baby-aid were missed.The methodology of visual sociology is immature yet. There is no standardized ways to present the visual materials. We have collected a large amount of visual data but it may take some more time to publish the results of the analysis of the visual data.Although this study stated as an example of qualitative research, I came to notice that both qualitative and quantitative research were necessary to accomplish the initial goal ; the analysis of the decision making of the child bearing. In addition to the interviews, I executed a mailing questionnaire research. The findings of it are the following.a) Sex of elderly children has no effect on parents'decisions for third babies.b) The numbers of siblings of fathers have no effect on the numbers of their children.But the numbers of the siblings of mothers have significant relation with numbers of their children.c) Those who think that it is natural for the married couples to have children have more children than those who do not think so.d) Those who had wished to have many children actually have many children.e) Whether the couples are living with their parents or not has no effect on the numbers of the children.f) Income, housing and wives'jobs have no effects on the decision makings for the third children.The parents decide to have third or more children because they want to do so. The decision is not controlled by any materialistic factors directly. It is inferred that the enactment of the baby-aid act of Turuta Town represents the welcoming atmosphere of the town for babies and this brings the effects on parents' decision makings for having third or more children.
