| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study explores the connections between the values of uncertainty avoidance as part of diversity management of Japanese young people, (156 Japanese university students), and their views of Japanese society. Results suggest that young Japanese university students who participated in this research were relatively high on uncertainty avoidance and experience high levels of stress when they encounter uncertainty. Those high in uncertainty avoidance, use strategies to avoid the unknown and ease stress. This study shows how young people are influenced and limited by strict rules and societal pressure to conform.
