本研究以484位國中二年級男女學生為樣本，分析樣本對「母親職分調查問卷」中母觀職分重要程度與滿意程度看法的差距，結果發現： (1) 子女心目中母親職分的重要程度與滿意程度存在著負差距 (滿意程度低於重要程度)；(2)子女心目中五類母親職分的滿意與重要程度也存在負差距，且五類母職在子女心目中的負差距大小有別；(3)子女性別對子女心目中母親職分重要與滿意程度差距的影響，只有當母親任職的情況下才發生；(4)母親是否任職，只影響女子女心目中母親職分重要與滿意程度的差距。根據上述研究發現，本研究提供三項具體建議作為母親踐行母職的參照：(1) 母親應致力於母職的踐行；(2)母親踐行母職須首重情感表達有關職分；(3)職業母親對女兒得更費心母職的踐行。

484 junior high school students were investigated on their perceptual difference between the extent of importance and satisfaction of mother's roles on the "Mother's Roles Ouestionnaire". The results show that : (1) children's perceptual difference between the extent of importance and satisfaction of mother's roles was negative (that is satisfactory extent of mother's roles was lower than important extent of mother's roles; (2) children's perceptual difference between the extent of importance and satisfaction of five areas of mother's roles not only were negative, but also different; (3) sex of the child had significant influence on children's perceptual difference between extent of importance and satisfaction of mother's roles when mothers employed; (4)mother employed or not had significant influence on daughter's perceptual difference between the extent of importance and satisfaction of mother's roles. The findings of this study suggests that: (1) mothers ought to do their best on mother's roles performance; (2) mothers perform mother's roles should do expressive roles at first; (3) employed mothers should pay more attention to their daughters when they perform mother's roles.
