The purpose of this study was to understand what factors, in terms of obsessive-compulsive tendency and parent-child confidential relationships, affect the hesitation in eating rice balls made by others. In this study, conditions of making methods of rice balls (made with bare hands or with using plastic wrap) and of makers of rice balls (made by their own family members or by people other than family members) were examined. The results indicated that, even though rice balls were made by family member or not, and with bare hands or with plastic wrap," becoming contaminated" in obsessive-compulsive tendency could positively predict and "mentoring" of father in parent-child confidential relationship negatively predicted the hesitation in eating rice balls made by others. In addition, it is found that mother's and father's confidential relationship with child have differential effects to the hesitation in eating rice balls made by others. Lacks of" parent support" and" benevolent watch" of mother, and" emotional control" of father affected the hesitation in eating rice balls made by others, yet depending on the conditions. The results suggested that it is important to avoid excessive cleannessconscious attitudes at home and to develop a good parent-child confidential relationship, in order to reduce a feeling of hesitation in eating rice balls made by others.
