This study demonstrated the clothing behavior in early childhood from two aspects, i.e., one is young children's interest in clothing and the other is parents' offering of clothing assistance. Another purpose of this study was to examine the influence of various factors on the clothing behavior in early childhood. These analyses of the factors influencing these aspects included 501mothers of young children. As a result, there was the relationship between young children's interest in clothing and the mothers' offering of clothing assistance, in many aspects. It was suggested that the young children's interest in clothing was greatly influenced by their gender: it was often different in boys and girls. We surmised that the young children's interest in clothing was influenced by the mothers' gender roles and the child-rearing, as well as by the mothers' offering of clothing assistance. Therefore, we thought that in order to understand the young children's interest in clothing, it would be required to view the mothers' thinking from various aspects.%本研究の目的は，現代における幼児期の被服行動を幼児の被服関心と母親の被服援助の2側面から捉え，幼児期の被服行動と諸要因との関連を明らかにすることである.調査対象者は幼児の母親501名である.幼児の被服関心と母親の被服援助には多くの点で関連性が認められた.幼児の被服関心は，男女で異なる点が多く，幼児の性別が大きく影響していることが示唆された.幼児の被服関心は母親の被服援助だけでなく，母親の性役割意識や養育態度にも影響をうけていると推察できた.幼児の被服関心を理解するには母親の思考を多方面から検討していく必要性があると考えられた.
