| Research Abstract |
Two months after the tsunami struck the town of Onagawa, Miyagi prefecture, Japan, on March 11, 2011, junior high school students in Onagawa began expressing their feelings via haiku. Their psychological states and changes were visualized via qualitative investigations of their haikus, which were composed in May and November 2011.
In non-stricken areas, Renku School Programs are practiced at some Japanese schools. The renku was made up of three stanzas; Onagawa students made an opening stanza, and the non-stricken area students made and sent the answering stanza back to Onagawa, then Onagawa students completed it by adding the third stanza. Some of written impressions about this were analyzed, and feelings of interpersonal bonds were reported.
Points of posttraumatic growth across both student groups, namely all the junior high school of Japan and the students of Onagawa, were compared, and it revealed that the students in Onagawa were experiencing posttraumatic growth more frequently.
