| Research Abstract |
The aim of this study is to investigate the formation process of "national identity" from the viewpoints of concept clarification, international comparison, and data-base research. Several results were obtained from this study. We mention here just two of them.
One is from the questionnaire research of the relationship among the "nationalism-patriotism" scale and the attachment scale. The subjects were 817 Japanese students. The results can be summarized as follows: (a) When we compared our data to that of the original studies in America, the structure of factor-analyzed data was different in that the Japanese data were not so much integrated as that of the American data. (b) As to the attachment scale, there were some common factors regardless of the object of attachment (father or mother) or the sex of subjects (male or female). (c) The relationship among the nationalism-patriotism scale and the attachment scale was found positive only in the male subjects.
The second finding was about the education of so-called kikoku-sijo (pupils who had come back from foreign countries after several years of schooling abroad). We interviewed two junior high- school classes (Kyoto City) in which only such kind of pupils were gathered and we found that the problems of so-called kikoku-sijo was the problem of some closed-mindedness of our society.
