| Research Abstract |
This cross-cultural study was designed to investigate for fostering attitude between Japan and Korea. The main theme ware devided into two parts. The former one is behaviral observation study through mother-infant interaction, and the latter one is questionear study translated for Korean language. Both studies were already examined in Japan, and the same procedure were adopted for Korean study. The main findings for former one was a different emotion expression styles between Japanese mother-infant dyad and Korean dyad. Japanese mother and infant express positive emotions during the observation. Contrast with this, Korean mother and infant did not express their positive emotions throughout the observation. Moreover, Korean infants expressed negative emotions under the stress conditions. Proximity of mother-infant dyad is essential feature of attachment. Regarding this, Japanese mother-infant dyads are keeping more long distance during their free play. Contrast with this, Korean mother-infant dyads are keeping more close distance. Regarding this, we strongly suggests the Japanese dyads are more socialized than Korean dyads.
The questioneare are divided into two parts. One was focused on the human nature as a fostering attitude, parent-child relations, hauband-wife relations, and other familial interpersonal relations, cross-sexual-relations etc. The other was focused on peer relations, and more general questions for housing, socio-economic conditions etc. The cultural universality is greater than the specificity. However, there is a main cultural boundary between East Asian culture and Western one. The second order boundary exsists between Chinese culture and Japanese-Korean one in the East asian culture. The latter questionear is abstructed the differences for fostering value between Japanese and Korean parents. The main results shouwed that the Korean parents is more evaluates the value of the infants than the Japanese.
