• I studied on the scaling of life events in Japanese children. Three hundreds and forty-nine subjects were asked to estimate life events in terms of how much influence thess events had on children's ordinary life. Subjects were composed of 314 teachers and 35 pediatricians. I used the method as Coddington with some modifications of the items because some of the items described by Coddington did not fit Japanese children's ordinary life. I made four questionnaires according to children's ages (for infants under 1.5 years of age, for children between 1.5 and 5 years of age-i.e., under school age, for elementary school children, and for junior high school children). It has been reported that the rank ordering of events was highly similar between different sociodemographic groups. Therefore, I tried to convert the rank orders into scores. For this purpose, in order to calculate life change unit (LCU) I used a percent value of each item score and a modified value of reciprocal score of each item rank (N items : N/N×100…1/N×100) in addition to a geometric mean. As a result, for each life event I got three LCUs (LCU-G : derived from the geometric mean, LCU-P : derived from the percent value, LCU-R : derived from the item rank).The rank order correlations were over 0.9 for all three LCUs between most pairs of different sociodemographic groups. They were at the level of 0.8 only between groups with and without their own children in LCU-G of the infant under 1.5 years of age questionnaire, and between job different groups in LCU-P of the elementary school age questionnaire. The rank order correlations for LCU-P and LCU-R were significantly higher than those for LCU-G in some pairs of groups. There were significant differences in the absolute scores given to particular life events of three LCUs in some pairs of groups. The number of such events was large between age different groups, especially between young group (20's and 30's) and senior group (over 50's). The numbers of events with significantly different scores between groups were smaller in LCU-P and LCU-R than those in LCU-G. These suggest that LCU-P and LCU-R may have more universality than LCU-G. It is concluded that it may be better to calculate LCU by using percent values of item scores or modified values of item ranks.
