Abstract

When children are frustrated, they respond verbally in various ways. This study focused on the features of responses by foreigners and natives living in Japan. Developmental factors and the duration of residence in Japan were considered as factors which influence reactions to frustration. Participants (5-6 year old children and 9-12 year old pupils) attended in the same Japanese city : international schools (n=46), schools for Korean residents (n=57), and schools for native Japanese (n=59). The experiments were conducted using 12 drawings about frustration situations. The verbal responses were analyzed with Varimax rotation, and a four-factor solution was obtained. The factors were self-assertion, warning/complaint, self-repression, and apology/gratitude. The results showed that Japanese children scored significantly higher on the self-repression in the frustration caused by friends, while those of international schools scored higher on the self-assertion. The results of pupils didn't show the differeces between three schools. The study also indicated that the responses of Korean residents both children and pupils resembled those of native Japanese. According to the duration of one's residence in Japan, the difference of the responses was seen in the frustration caused by friends.
