Discreet self-expression in Japanese assertiveness

Lee, Sungsuk, 李, 盛熱

Currently, the number of young people who have difficulty communicating with others is increasing. Specialists point out that such difficulties in communication occur not only among Japanese people but also among people from other countries. This study aims to examine the similarities and differences between assertiveness and verbal aggression, and consider a different type of assertiveness that is suitable for Japanese culture. Further, it describes the Japanese way of assertiveness and analyzes the tendency of non-assertiveness in Japanese culture. In summary, the concept of the need for careful consideration of selfexpression is scrutinized to understand the unique Japanese way of communication. Moreover, it emphasizes the need for empirical research to better understand different cultures. Further, it focuses on the view that harmony within a group is more effective than as an individual, which is why consideration for others is one of the component parts in Japanese assertiveness training.

近年対人コミュニケーションに困難を感じる若者が増え，日本国内のみならず，異文化間コミュニケーションにおいても多く指摘されている。そこで本研究では，日本文化に適したアサーションの在り方を見出すために，まずアサーションと攻撃性との同異を概観する。そして，日本における非主張性の傾向を理解し，日本人らしいアサーションの在り方を考察することを目的とする。最終的に本稿では，日本人特有のコミュニケーションの在り方を理解する上で，熟慮的自己表現の概念を整理していく必要性に加え，異文化間の相互理解を促すために，それらの特徴を測定できる尺度研究の必要性が示唆された。さらに，日本におけるアサーション・トレーニングの構成において場を重んじる，個より集団との協調を重要視するような方略が有効であることが示唆された。
