Abstract;On the basis of the hypothesis that good food practice experience in the childhood cultivates fundamental confidence between parents and children, stimulates self-identity in the adolescence, and establishes independent consciousness, the authors carried out questionnaire survey for university students who were in the postadolescence stage and verified its results. The authors examined how factors, such as food practice experience in the past, relation with parents in various crisis scenes, recognition of the parent-child relation by the person, and own recognition of the person, are interrelated and involved in the independent consciousness of the person. They treated the results by multiple regression analysis, by classifying the replies to men and women, and residence type, and constructed a model. The factor score of "self independency" was significantly high in men rather than women, and persons who completed the formation of ego identity had high "self independency". In "self independency", the eating habits in the past as shown here were deeply involved: "self-esteem feeling", "taste of my home", "frequency of eating alone", "hateful memory at the table", and "delightful experience of eating alone". The following were suggested and the hypothesis was verified: (1) The exchange of happy feeling of parents and children throughout meal time establishes desirable parent-child relation, (2) It also supplies the satisfaction of dependence, (3) These results encourages independent consciousness in the adolescence.
