Objective: The aim of the present study is to prepare a scale enabling to assess independence from multiple directions, and to clarify the current state and gender differences in independence among university students. Methods: An original questionnaire survey was administrated to 784 students (382 men and 402 women), and a factor analysis was carried out. Results: (1) The independence scale consisted of seven factors: "Subjective independence," "Collaborative interpersonal relationships," "Social interests," "Life management," "Daily life skills," "Cooperative parent-child relationship," and "Economical independence." (2) Of all subjects, scored high were for "Subjective independence," "Collaborative interpersonal relationships," and "Cooperative parent-child relationship," while scored low was for "Economic independence." (3) Gender differences were observed for all factors except "Subjective independence." The scores for "Social interests" and "Economic independence" were higher for male students than for female students, while the scores for "Collaborative interpersonal relationships," "Life management," "Daily life skills" and "Cooperative parent-child relationship" were higher for female students than male students. Based on these findings, the current state of independence for university students was discussed from the viewpoint of the seven independence factors and gender differences.
