It is well known in Japan, that the population of old women will be grown more and more. After the world war II , the tendency to live as nuclear family became common. So, a lot of old women have to live alone after their husband died. Or single women too. All of them might not live with health or happiness. In order to live with health and happiness , old women have to endeaver to keep their physical strength, to prevent get from some desease and to develope "self-autonomy". So, we started to research what is "self-autonomy" of old women. We gathered a lot of statements of self-autonomy, and selected 100 sentences which express their selfautonomy well. The statements were judged from point 1 to point 7 (1:most autonomized 7:least autonomized). Point 8 was used to express "not adequate to estimate self-autonomy". 26 sociologists, 32 women's study researchers, and 40 psychologists (all of them are female) have judged the degree of autonomy. The scale value of each statements were calculated and then factor analyzed concerning each three groups and total samples. As a result, we found that there are large differences about the concept of self-autonomy among researchers of the three groups. But each of them showed the importance of warm interaction and of social help and cooperation with old women to keep their lives healthy and happy.
