| Research Abstract |
This research examined the cultural influence on frequency of interpersonal stress experiences and its aversive effects on psychological well-being by questionnaires toward undergraduates in Japan and United States. As a result, interpersonal stress caused by overdependence toward others and inhibition of assetiveness is more frequent in Japanese than in Americans, and this cultural difference was partly mediated by social skills and personality. Aversive effects of interpersonal stress on psychological well-being were generally common in both culture, though partly more salient in Japanese than Americans.
