The purpose of the present research is to investigate the structure of fulfillment sentiment in contemporary adolescence, and to confirm to what extent the sentiment model for contemporary Japanese adolescence proposed by Nishihira(1979)explains the structure of fulfillment sentiment. For the first study, 280 subjects rated 53 items that constituted the fulfillment sentiment instrument. The data were analysed by means of factor-analyses. Results of the analysis revealed that the fulfillment sentiment consisted of 4 factors, thus confirming the model proposed by Nishihira. Four factors were named(1)fulfillment sentiment vs.boredom-emptiness, (2)jiritsu-jishin(independence and self-reliance)vs.amae and lack of self-reliance, (3)solidarity vs.isolation, (4)trust and time-perspective vs.mistrust and time-diffusion. An examination on the pattern of correlations among four scales indicated the followings: the scale for fulfillment vs.boredom-emptiness showed significant positive correlation with the scale for jiritsu-jishin vs.amae and lack of self-reliance, the scale for solidarity vs.isolation, and the scale for trust and time-perspective vs.mistrust and time-diffusion. These results provided positive evidence to support the Nishihira's model. However, it was found that that the Nishihira's model might require a certain modification on the basis of results. The second study was designed to examine stability of each factor of the fulfillment sentiment scale by using the identical factor score method proposed by Bentler(1973). It was found that stability of the fulfillment vs.boredom-emptiness scores was lower than that of jiritsu-jishin vs.amae and lack of self-reliance, solidarity vs.isolation, and trust and time-perspective vs.mistrust and time-diffusion. These results suggested that the scale of fulfillment sentiment vs.boredom-emptiness represented an aspect of mood, while the other scales did the aspect of an ego-identity.
