Selected
mental (and ideological) change on the part of (Japanese) women
I think this part signifies how women have changed their ideas or view points over decades in transition of social and cultural environments. I firstly thought the word "mental" could be omitted, however, considering this part may not be necessarily such an ideological matter, I reckoned "mental" and "ideological" would be juxtaposed to convey how shifted the women's way of viewing the Japanese society has over those years. Possibly it just refers to mental change of women, while I still would give a nuance of higher mentality, thus"ideological".
The whole sentence may be something like:
The main three factors to have formed the "modern housewives" are the ever-lasting development of industrialization, the social transition of the patriarchy system in Japan and the mental (and ideological) change on the part of Japanese women.

Comment: "Thank you. All answers were good but this gave the most natural translation of not only 心性 but also 側 which I was having trouble finding a natural way to express.
Thanks to all.

psycological changes on women's side
"mental" would do, also.

: i first thought of the word "psychological"before coming to judge it may not cover the author's intention, but still do not want to kick it out in place of "mental" or stepped-up "ideological", -

: Mental or ideological would both be fine, I think. Of course, it would help to read more of the surrounding text to find a better-suited term if there exists one.
