Assessing the universality of face needs across China, Japan, Korea, and the U.S. using an inductive approach of face needs measurement
This study, using an inductive approach, aims to measure face needs across divergent cultures in order to (1) revisit the common practice of accepting the universality of face needs, (2) explore the impact of holism and cognitive relativity on the relationships among nationality, gender, and face needs, and (3) explore divergent structures of face needs across cultures. A total of 924 participants were recruited from China (n = 263), Japan (n = 1…
Intergenerational communication satisfaction among Japanese Americans through communication accommodation
Previous intergenerational communication studies paid only scant attention to acculturation orientation differences in communication between different age groups within a single culture. Many co-cultural groups in the U.S. are encountering emerging acculturation orientation differences between generations. The present study focused on one co-cultural group (Japanese Americans) to gain an understanding of the implications of multiple cultures on t…
When Age and Race/Ethnicity Salience Meet
Using Communication Accommodation Theory as a theoretical framework, the present study investigated the role of group salience (i.e. race/ethnicity salience and age salience) when young and middle-aged Japanese Americans communicate with older Japanese Americans. A total of 186 young and middle-aged Japanese Americans’ data were collected. The results found that self-perceived avoidance communicative behaviour mediated the relationship between ol…
International program and provider mobility in Japan
Japan has traditionally emphasized international student recruitment and exchange as priorities in its internationalization strategy. However, little attention has been given to the increasing importance of international program and provider mobility (IPPM), which includes international branch campuses, franchise programs, international joint universities and joint/double degree programs. This article analyzes the policies, status and role of IPP…
The affective assemblage of internationalisation in Japanese higher education
Positive attributes stick to higher education internationalisation, and it is a policy paradigm with performative effects. Internationalisation draws on imagined virtuous flows of knowledge production and exchange, and is presented as an assemblage of detraditionalisation, expansiveness and epistemic and cultural opportunity for individuals, organisations and nation states. Policies target bodies, minds and affect, yet are presented as an unquest…
Tourism and Intergroup Communication
This is an advance summary of a forthcoming article in the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Communication. Please check back later for the full article. Tourism connects people across geographical, chronological, and cultural borders. In Henri Tajfel’s terms, it is a prime example of intergroup process where collective and interpersonal factors play major roles. People become tourists to fulfill their self-derived motivations, including sensation-…
Exploring cultural differences in women's body weight perception
We examined the cultural influence on perceived body weight and the level of health practices at a national and individual level. At a national level, we found that Japanese women (n = 80) overestimate body weight more than Korean (n = 82) and American (n = 63) women. At an individual level, individuals with interdependent self-construal were more prone to overestimate weight than those with independent self-construal (N = 182; American women). B…
Tourism
Tourism is big business globally, as witnessed by the World Tourism Organization's estimation that there were more than a billion tourists in 2012. Surprisingly, the fields of intergroup and intercultural communication have, as yet, only spawned a few studies on understanding host–tourist language practices. Drawing on communication accommodation theory (with reflections on touristic experiences in St. Petersburg), a model is proposed not only fo…
Inter-Asian Variability in Intergenerational Communication
This study compared Japanese and Thai younger adults' intra- and intergenerational communication. Both groups linearly increased communicative respect and avoidance, beliefs about politeness, and deference norms as interlocutors got older (from young to middle-aged to older adult). Cross-culturally, the Thais reported more respectful communication to younger adults than did the Japanese, while the Japanese were more likely to be avoidant of commu…
Mixi Diary versus Facebook Photos
A survey of Caucasian-American and Japanese young women investigated cultural differences in types of social networking site use and motives for use. Although there were some disparities between American and Japanese young women in motives for social networking site use, generally the main motive was communication with ingroup peers known offline. Participants reported lesser use for social identity gratifications and social compensation. The fin…
Japanese College Students’ Media Exposure to Sexually Explicit Materials, Perceptions of Women, and Sexually Permissive Attitudes
The present study examined Japanese college students’ ( N = 476) use of sexually explicit material (SEM) and associations with perceptions of women as sex objects and sexually permissive attitudes. Results indicate that Japanese college students used print media most frequently as a source for SEM followed by the Internet and the television/video/DVD. Male participants used SEM significantly more than females. In addition, sexual preoccupancy med…
Police-Civilian Interaction, Compliance, Accommodation, and Trust in an Intergroup Context
Prior cross-cultural research has produced models of police-civilian interaction that highlight the effect of officers’ communication accommodation and reported trust in police on attitudinal outcomes. The present study, conducted in Korea, Japan, Guam, and Canada and involving 684 university students, continued this program of research by testing a theoretical model exploring the influence of perceived police officer communication accommodation …
Intergenerational Communication Across Cultures
Perceptions of Younger, Middle-aged, and Older Adults in Australia and Japan
This study investigated the perceptions of young adults in Japan and Australia about their own age group, as well as middle-aged and older adults. Using a self-administered questionnaire, 155 Japanese and 171 Australian students rated people in the three age groups on traits of personal vitality and benevolence, and also rated their age group vitalities. Results indicated that Australians perceived both middle-aged and older adults in more positi…
A Cross-cultural Analysis of Age Identity in Japan and the United States
Age identity (Garstka et al., 1997) was examined with regard to its structure in Japan and the United States. Factor analysis confirmed the validity of a one-factor structure in both countries. Cluster analysis suggested a three-cluster solution in both Japan (ingroup identification and significance, sense of similarity, ingroup positive evaluation) and the USA (ingroup orientation, age centrality, ingroup positivity). In Japan, age-group pride a…
Age Vitality Across Eleven Nations
This paper is the second in a series of empirical applications of the concept of (ethnolinguistic) vitality into the intergenerational arena. It examines young people's assessments of the subjective vitalities of young, middle-aged, and elderly targets in four Western (midwest USA, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand) and seven south and east Asian sites (Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, mainland China, The Philippines, and India). The resul…
Self-Disclosure Responses to Stigmatizing Disclosures
Knowledge gained through symbolic and instrumental interpretations of attitudes toward persons with AIDS suggests that positive attitudes toward gays or persons with AIDS (symbolic factors) and less knowledge and greater fear ofAIDS contraction (instrumental factors) will lead to more convergence of self-disclosure outcomes in interactions with gays or persons withAIDS. The initial prediction, and the findings of the current investigation, are co…
