The purpose of this paper is to study the characteristics of learnings by adult women, and to analyze the factors that have led their active participation in learnings in these years. Findings based on the national survey conducted by Sorifu give us insightful information on learning activities by women, and on how they allocate their time in every day 1ife. According to the second analysis of the statistical data by Sorifu, adult women participate in learnings more actively when they are younger, have higher educational background, and are working (as opposed to being housewives). Their learning behaviors are also fairly independent of the amount of free time they have, and do not support the generally accepted belief that the lack of time is one of the largest barriers against adult learnings. In identifying the relevant variables of learnings and their interrelationships, I adopted the Chain-of-Response model designed by P.K. Cross, and found that internal psychological variables are the most important in motivating the adults to participate in learnings. The level of education, as well as the job participation influence on those variables in many ways, and thus become key characteristics in defining learning behaviors of adult women.
