| Research Abstract |
This study examines life story interviews that were conducted with elderly people over65 years old living in communal retirement in Japan and German-speaking countries, those being Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The audio data of these interviews were transcribed into texts to build a textual corpus consisting of a structured set of elderly life stories. At the same time, a comparative study of differences in psychological characteristics of the elderly was undertaken using narrative approaches in the health care field together with analyzed ‘fillers’ (in the terminology of linguistics), which were based on this corpus of accumulated life stories. The possibility of applying‘DEMATEL’ methodology to the analysis of the psychological nature of the elderly hasalso been investigated.
