Domestic research in intercultural communication has a history of less than three decades, yet a wide variety of studies have been conducted. This overview of current trends of the research in this field presents a review of studies conducted within the last decade in the areas of Japanese communication patterns, cross-cultural communication, intercultural interaction, intercultural adjustment, and intercultural communication training. Discussion of the current state of these areas are conducted from theoretical and methodological perspectives, and future directives are outlined.

Direct and Indirect Interpersonal Strategies in Refusal and Requesting : A Japanese Regional Comparison Open Access

Bulletin of the Graduate School of Education and Human Development. Psychology and human developmental sciences Vol. 49 page： 181 - 190 2002

Language：Japanese Publisher：Nagoya University

This study is one of a series of studies investigating the common belief that Japanese prefer indirect interpersonal communication strategies over direct strategies. Prior studies compared Japanese to Americans, but the current study focused on a domestic comparison, involving various regions of Japan. A total of 384 participants were surveyed about their preference of six interpersonal strategies (two direct, four indirect) over the two situations of refusal and requesting. Targets were specified by dimensions of intimacy and power, and the situation was varied by degree of imposition. Thus, a 2 (situation) x 5 (region) x 2 (intimacy) x 2 (power) x 2 (imposition) mixed design MANOVA was conducted to determine if the Japanese are consistently indirect (or direct) across the various regions of the nation. Results indicated that regional differences were minimal, as the two direct strategies were most likely used over both situations. Also, no indication was obtained regarding differences in the way regions respond to intimacy, power, and imposition. These results indicate that Japanese are relatively homogeneous regarding their interpersonal strategy preference in both refusal and requesting situations.

Communication Monographs Vol. 68 ( 3 ) page： 235 - 258 2001.9

Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal)

The purpose of the current study was to investigate face and facework during conflicts across four national cultures: China, Germany, Japan, and the United States. A questionnaire was administered to 768 participants in the 4 national cultures, in their respective languages, to measure 3 face concerns and 11 facework behaviors. The major findings of the current study are as follows: (a) self-construals had the strongest effects on face concerns and facework with independence positively associated with self-face and dominating facework and interdependence positively associated with other- and mutual-face and integrating and avoiding facework; (b) power distance had small, positive effects on all three face concerns and avoiding and dominating facework; (c) individualistic, small-power distance cultures had less other-face concern and avoiding facework, and more dominating facework than collectivistic, large-power distance cultures; (d) Germans had more self- and mutual-face concerns and used defending more than U.S. Americans; (e) Chinese had more self-face concern and involved a third party more than Japanese; and (f) relational closeness and status only had small effects on face concerns and facework behavior.

The purpose of the current study was to create a typology of facework behaviors in interpersonal conflicts between best friends and relative strangers for Japanese and U.S. participants. In phase I, 286 participants responded to open-ended questions about the manner in which they negotiated face during a conflict with either a best friend or a relative stranger. The responses of a sample of these respondents -16 Japanese, 16 members of ethnic minority groups in the U.S., and 20 European Americans — were categorized using a Q-sort technique. Fourteen categories of facework behaviors were derived. Validation procedures for the typology were carried out via a cluster analysis resulting in 13 unique clusters: (a) aggression, (b) apologize, (c) avoid, (d) compromise, (e) consider the other, (f) defend self (g) express feelings, (h) give in, (i) involve a third party, (j) pretend, (k) private discussion, (l) remain calm, and (m) talk about the problem. In phase II, 95 Japanese and 61 U.S. Americans rated the appropriateness and effectiveness of behaviors from each of the categories. The findings illustrate that the typology captures a wide range of appropriateness and effectiveness rating which further demonstrates the validity of the typology. © 2000, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

A cross-cultural analysis of age identity in Japan and the United States

Language：Japanese Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal)

Age identity (Garstka et al., 1997) was examined with regard to its structure in Japan and the United States.Factor analysis confirmedthe validity of a one-factor structure in both countries. Cluster analysis suggested a three-cluster solution in both Japan (ingroup identification and significance, sense of similarity, ingroup positive evaluation) and the USA (ingroup orientation, age centrality, ingroup positivity). In Japan, age-group pride and positive experiences clusteredwith age-group identificationsand awareness. This points to the importance of a sense of group membership in Japanese young people's positive feelings about their age group. In the USA, the two items clustered with likeability, value and importance, and were distinct from ingroup identification. This suggests that American individuals gain a sense of pride and positive experience when they like, value and give importance to being young. Finally, our Japanese respondents ranked age-group positivity and attachment lower than the Americans did, suggesting that positive feeling associated with being young may be less common in Japan. Future studies of intergenerational communication using age identity were suggested. © 2000 H. Ota et al.

A total of 221 responses were obtained from a survey of international students in Japan, regarding the facilitative effects of social network formation on their adjustment. Regression analyses were conducted to explore the relationships among four types of adjustment revealed in a preceding study ("general adjustment," "self-control," "affiliative" and "dependent"), network size, demographic variables, expected social support, etc. For each adjustment type, predictive variables were identified. Two of the variables that showed network effects on adjustment were Japanese language proficiency and race (Asians vs. Westerners). From these results, it would appear that social network formation does facilitate adjustment, and insight into the effect of adjustment type and demographic variables on network functions was obtained. Furthermore, the actual conditions regarding network formation of international students in Japan were revealed. © 1997 Japanese Psychological Association. Published by Blackwell Publishers Ltd.
