Outline of Final Research Achievements

We surveyed with 3 locations in Oita Prefecture, 3 generations, a combination of men and women. Oita city (urban area in prefecture), Takeda city (rural area in prefecture), Hita city (middle section). In addition, generations were compared among elderly people, college students, junior high school students. As a result, in the regional differences, there were results that were consistent with previous studies that "higher urbanity tends to prefer fixed expression such as consideration expression". In generational differences, attention expression of junior high school students tended to be inferior to other generations in quality and quantity.And we understood the tendency the advanced age persons used with a lot of the consideration expression when they talked to the opposite sex.
