We carried out a survey of attitudes toward love and mariiage targeting men and women, and people of various generations.
Three factors were extracted from the analysis of the results, namely “love dependence”, “conservative love perception” and “practical mariiage perception”.
The following results emerged from a comparison of date from men and women as well as data from each generation.
(1)In comparison to male university students who have a strong tendency to look for love which does not assume mariiage will foloow, female university students tend to have a perception of love with a view to mariiage.
(2)Women tend to be conservative in love where men have a perception of love that is positive and progressive.
(3)Women are looking for economic strength in a man; as they get older, they tend to place more emphasis on this as a condition for mariiage.
(4)Because women in the latter half of their twenties approach the “ideal age for marriage”　they have a stronger desire to get mariied.
(5)Women have a logical and calculating approach to mariiage, whereas men have an instinctive and genuine perception of love.
