| Research Abstract |
Japanese cultural interpersonal communication behaviors (mutual praise and related behaviors) were explored both in explicit and implicit measurements. In some research, cultural comparative investigations were conducted between the data in China or the US and the data obtained in Japan. The main findings are as follows. (1) In Japan, China, and the US, the self-effacement could be predicted by different variables in each three countries. The findings supported the traditional cultural-self framework. (2) Implicit Self-Other evaluations measured by IAT have not been significantly changed. By comparing the results in implicit measurement with explicit measurement, the findings showed that the changes in evaluations for Self-Other were suggested not as internalized changes, but as strategic changes. (3) Predictive factors for the self-effacing tendencies for Japanese and Chinese were examined. In Japanese, the self-effacing tendencies were well-considered, compared to those of Chinese.
