The present study is based upon our reflections of the research in this field which we have conducted for the past 15 years. In our past research, on the one hand we placed emphasis on cross-sectional studies in the actual conditions of the rural community and child personality formation, and could not make longitudinal or follow up studies on how child personality has been formed along with the changing of his circumstances. On the other hand, we characterized the essential features of the rural community in terms of local seclusion, social blockage, economic poverty, and cultural retardation, and we concluded that the personality traits of the rural school children were formed into, what we called, 'material, concrete mentality, ' 'stable naiveness of emotion, ' 'immature sociality' and 'passive, inactive behavior.' Is it valid, however, to generalize so decisively? Recently, the appearance of the rural community has gradually been changing along with the radical change of the urban community and outer world. The living conditions of the rural people have been rapidly improved, for example, the decrease of the rural village with no electric light, the development of roads and traffic facilities, the spread of television and other media of mass communication, the extension of their life area, and the gradual improvement of their mode of production and so on. In any case, there has surely been an opening of new and bright perspectives to the rural community, though many dark aspects still remain. In such changing condition of rural life, what personality characteristics have really been developing in the children? We wonder if the so-called "rural personality" still remains. From this stand point we proceeded to the first step of our investigation into the relations between changing rural community and development of child personality by applying a follow-up or comparative study method, which seemed to be appropriate. Many further problems still remain for future research, but at present we will report on four sub-themes.
