In this study, we developed three scales that formed part of a set of social skills inventory for care wokers working in day services and examined their reliability and validity. First, based on previous studies, we developed scales as a draft and divided them into two tiers: basic skills and practical skills. In this study, we focused on the basic skills of "self-management," "observation and inference," and "independent assistantness," that is, care wokers' ways of dealing with themselves and their basic interactions with patients regardless of the situation. Using these three scales, we conducted a questionnaire survey of care wokers. We analyzed 500 responses and found a factor structure for each scale, with alpha coefficients ranging from .68 to .89, confirming the internal consistency of each scale. Also, the goodness of fit of the model was found to be within acceptable limits with respect to GFI, AGFI, CFI, RMSEA, and SRMR. Furthermore, this SS scale showed a significant positive correlation with the KiSS-18, a general SS scale. Based on these results, this scale was considered to be reliable and valid.

In recent years, the number of international students in Japan has been increasing. They suffer from understanding indirect expressions in communication with Japanese people. In this study, we implemented and assessed the impacts of a novel instructional program aimed at teaching social skills in a high-context culture characterized by the frequent use of indirect expressions. We conducted two experiments with students in Japan. Experiment 1 included semi-structured interviews with international students in Japan. Interview analysis revealed that it is difficult to learn to use and understand the intent behind indirect expressions without having first-hand experience communicating with Japanese people who use indirect language, particularly regarding “sassuru” – expressions that allow for multiple interpretations. Experiment 1 highlights the presence of problems that cannot be solved simply by learning Japanese and the challenges of adapting to communication styles characterized by the frequent use of indirect expressions in high-context cultures. Based on Experiment 1, we provided social skills instruction to an experimental group of international students as a teaching intervention. Next, participants in the experimental group and control group (who had not received the social skills instruction) completed questionnaires before and after the experiment. Data analysis verified that the intervention participants (1) developed more awareness of, and interest in, the Japanese culture; (2) became more confident in their interpretation of expressions with multiple meanings and of silence; and (3) became more accepting of ambiguous expressions because they had developed greater understanding. Conversely, the control group participants did not experience similar notable changes.

The appreciation expressed by older Japanese adults receiving care from foreign health care workers and the influence of cross-cultural care on successful aging were investigated. Data were collected from older adults in care facilities with and without foreign health care workers through semi-structured interviews and a questionnaire packet that included the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), the Meaningful Life Scale, a measure assessing perceived health status, and questions on relations with foreign care workers. The results of semi-structured interviews indicated that older adults had positive attitudes about foreign health care workers. Moreover, the "positive feelings" factor in the relationships with foreign health care workers significantly affected the GDS score. It was concluded that foreign health care working in care facilities improved older adults' well-being and contributed to successful aging.

Abstract Background: In recent years, as a result of replication in psychological studies, it has been pointed out that many studies are not re-producible. This study aimed to verify if with or without reproducibility and test-retest reliability by replication of Japanese version of Smoking Decisional Balance Scale and Japanese version of Smoking Abstinence Self-Efficacy Scale, which were translated and stand-ardized from overseas. Method: The target persons were 156 former smokers (70 males, 86 females, average age 42.58±11.51 years). The interval between the first and second surveys was four weeks to measure test-retest reliability. Results: It was reproduced that the score transits with changes in Fact Structure and Stages of Behavior Change similar to those in the previous study. Besides, retest reliability factor is 0.67 - 0.70. Conclusion: The research revealed that Japanese version of Smoking Decisional Balance Scale and Japanese version of Smoking Abstinence Self-Efficacy Scale are reliable and reflective.

日本の看護・介護分野ではケアサービスの質的保証は重要な課題であり,経済連携協定によって就労する外国人ケア労働者(以下,外国人)も,日本人と同様のケア水準が求められている。ケアにはその国の文化的特徴が反映され,外国人が日本で就労するには母国のケアへの知識,精神,態度を基盤とした日本の生活習慣や文化への理解が不可欠となる。しかし,その理解に向けた異文化適応の過程には困難が生じる。その結果,多くの外国人は母国と日本とのケアの文化差に戸惑い,異文化ストレスを抱える。本稿では,2017年と2018年に外国人のケアのルーツを探索するため実施したインドネシアの高齢者施設の視察から,現地スタッフへのインタビューと参与観察に基づいたケアの実態を紹介する。そして,日本で就労する外国人の異文化ストレスの支援,ケアの文化差の解消に向けた取り組みについて概説する。(著者抄録)

The Giving and Receiving Instructions Skills (GRIS) Scale was developed by focusing on interactive behaviors when communicating information. A 40-item questionnaire was administered to nurses (N=324) in acute-care hospitals with 1–4 years of experience. A 40-item questionnaire was administered to nurses (N=324) in acute-care hospitals with 1–4 years of experience (N=115). Exploratory factor analysis extracted 14 items and five factors: "Giving supplementary information", Confirming with the partner", "Reconsidering and checking", "Insufficient examination of instructions", and "Supporting and requesting". Results indicated the adequate reliability of the GRIS Scale (α=.70–.82). Moreover, the GRIS scale showed a significant correlation with the Communication Skill Scale (r=.33–.43, p<.01) and the Attitudes and Behaviors Fostering Organizational Learning from Incidents (r=.43–.52, p<.01) Scale, which indicated the relevance of GRIS. Furthermore, confirmatory factor analysis indicated sufficient goodness of fit of the GRIS Scale. These findings demonstrate that the GRIS Scale has adequate reliability and validity.

近年の日本の少子高齢化に伴い、看護・介護分野における人手不足は深刻となっている。団塊の世代が75歳以上となる2025年には、医療や介護の需要は更に高まることが予測される。こうした社会背景のなか、経済連携協定(Economic Partnership Agreement;EPA)に基づきインドネシア、フィリピン、ベトナムからの外国人ケア労働者(以下、外国人)が看護・介護分野で就労を始めている。更に2017年11月に外国人技能実習制度の介護分野での施行が開始され、ベトナム、カンボジア、モンゴルからの要請を受けていることからも今後も多くの外国人の就労が見込まれる。EPA制度で来日する外国人は看護師資格を取得し現場での実務経験を有する、ケアの基本を修得した人材である。訪日前後に日本語研修を受けた後に就労を開始しており、受け入れ側施設の外国人の即戦力としての期待は高まる。しかし介護現場で就労する外国人は、母国と日本との生活習慣・職場慣習の違いに戸惑い、日本語習得の困難や日本人との交流の希薄さなどから異文化適応は容易に進まず、現場では職業人として一定水準の働きや国家試験の合格を求められるなど、多くのストレスを抱えている。更に、ケア提供方法や価値観など、母国と日本とのケアの文化差に対してもストレスを抱え、母国へ帰国する者も多い。このように外国人のストレスは、政府、受け入れ施設、人の3つの側面が絡み合う複合的な異文化ストレスであり、個人の努力のみで容易に解消を期待することは難しい。外国人が個人の異文化適応を発展させ言語習得や職場慣習を学習し、周囲との軋轢を調整するのみならず、EPA制度や施設側が外国人受け入れ体制を充実させ、外国人と日本人との間の文化差への理解を深めることも求められよう。日本においてケアの担い手が不足するなか、外国人の労働力は不可欠なものであり、外国人の長期就労に向けたストレス支援は重要な課題となる。本稿では、まず外国人の異文化ストレスをEPA制度や受け入れ施設との関連性から読み解き、外国人へのインタビュー調査より明らかとなった、彼らの抱える困難や日本人との協働要素について示していく。更に施設の受け入れ事例に基づき、外国人のストレス支援へ活かせる「異文化間インターメディエーター」の役割、異なる文化背景をもつ外国人と日本人とが互いを尊重し協働できる「協働文化」の醸成について検討していく。(著者抄録)

This study investigated the cross-cultural social skills use of international students in Japan. One hundred and forty questionnaires were sent out and 102 were returned. Participants evaluated their skills use with 21 items pertaining to cross-cultural social skills in Japan, which were considered useful in forming interpersonal relationships with their Japanese hosts. They also evaluated how common such skills were in their own countries. The skills were divided into the following four categories: (a) skills used in Japan and recognized as being used in home countries, which seemed to be applications of original behavior repertory (Maintained skills); (b) skills used in Japan but not recognized in their own countries, which seemed to be developed in the Japanese sociocultural context (Acquired skills); (c) skills recognized in their home countries but not used in Japan, which seemed to be somehow suppressed in Japan (Avoided skills); and (d) skills rarely used in Japan and rarely recognized in their home countries, which seemed to be undesired (Neglected skills). Some skills were relatively common in their own countries but not always highly used in Japan. Students with higher Japanese proficiency or a longer duration of stay in Japan tended to show higher skills use. However, the assumption that students from neighboring countries were more skillful was not supported. The psychological background of cross-cultural social skills use was also discussed.

This research examined the behaviors that Japanese students expect from international students. Three kinds of questionnaires were conducted with Japanese university students related to (1) their expectations for international students' acceptance of Japanese culture, (2) their expectations in terms of international students' use of cross-cultural social skills, and (3) their recognition of international students' behaviors that follow or do not follow Japanese cultural norms. In a classroom situation, the Japanese students expected the behaviors necessary for accomplishing group assignments. In a peer group situation, they expected international students to be spontaneous in their communication. Finally, in a situation of extracurricular activities under peer pressure, Japanese students positively recognized the attitudes of international students in attempting to behave on the basis of Japanese culture.

In order to identify the typology of cross-cultural contact by Japanese hosts, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 15 Japanese students, who have experienced close interactions with international students. The narratives of the informants were analyzed on the basis of the framework of the AUC-GS learning model. The aspects of cross-cultural "awareness, understanding, and coping" were studied. The informants were examined with regard to whether they noticed the existence of cultural differences, understood the occurring mechanisms of cross-cultural problems, and successfully coped with those problems. The informants were divided into six categories. Some informants exhibited considerable awareness regarding cultural differences, understood problems between cultures, and thus, coped well. The educational challenges faced by Japanese host students are discussed in this study.

This research examines empirically the social support, especially cultural support for international students given by Japanese host students. 50 pairs of Japanese and international students answered a questionnaire, using quantitative scoring about the social support needs and perceived support of international students. The descriptive data regarding cultural support was also obtained and analyzed qualitatively. The results show that cultural support was relatively ranked high among other social support. Although there was no substantial discrepancy between social support needs and perceived support among the recognitions of the hosts and guests, Japanese students tend to put more emphasis on the understanding of international students' culture rather than explaining their culture to the guests. The future challenges for Japanese hosts are proposed.

The present study examined the relationship between willingness to communicate (WTC) in English as second language (L2) and Japanese as third language (L3), and explored how some Japanese context-specific variables relate to WTC. The participants were 103 international students in Japan. Statistical analysis confirmed the hypothesis of a mutual negative relation between WTC in English and WTC in Japanese. That means that students who are more willing to communicate in English tend to be less willing to communicate in Japanese, and vice versa. An analysis of Japanese context variables and WTC discovered significant correlations. However, structural equation modeling (SEM) revealed a significant regression weight not from Japanese contexts to WTC as we hypothesized, but in the opposite direction. Japanese context variables seem to be not the antecedents but consequences of WTC. The implications of those findings are further discussed.

Cultural distances of Individualism-Collectivism and High-Low context are supposed to play an important role for cross-cultural adaptation of international students in Japan. A series of survey have been conducted for the comparison between guest and host groups. In this survey Japanese students as the host group sample in comparison with international students are investigated on these dimensions. Japanese students evaluated 1)themselves and 2)other Japanese people concerning: A)Individualism-Collectivism and B) High-Low context. People with higher or similar collectivistic orientation showed better adaptation to human relations and Japanese norms. People with higher or similar high-context tendencies showed better adaptation to human relations and Japanese norms. People with higher high-context tendencies showed better adaptation to human relations. Japanese students with higher collectivistic and high-context tendencies supposedly have an advantage adapting to Japanese culture.

The subjective cognition of aging by the elderly was investigated using the qualitative research method of semi-structured interviews. We selected ten healthy elderly people as informants (interviewees) that were aged 65 years or more, and lived independently (Male = 7, Female = 3, Age: M = 72.4, SD = 5.52). Results were suggestive of two kinds of aging. Those that thought, "The classification that I am an old person depends on the social system, but I am not actually old "were classified as "the socially aged." Those that thought, "I recognize that I am really old " were classified as the "the subjectively aged". These results indicate the need to be attentive to individual aspects of aging. Moreover, these cognitive patterns suggest ways of adapting to aging. The cognition that regarded aging as inevitable, natural, and common was classified as "adaptive acceptance".

Language：Japanese Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：The Japanese Association of Health Psychology

The relation between caregiver stresses and stress relieving factors was investigated based on questionnaire data collected from 239 of 551 members in caregiver groups with bedridden and/or demented elderly in their families. A caregiver stress support model was proposed using a multifactorial analysis. Correlations among stressors (degree of help, profession of caregiver), the first evaluation of stress (burden), the second evaluation of stress (mental health: burnout, fatigue, self satisfaction), and mediation factors (social support, coping methods) were examined. It was found that burden as the first evaluation is positively affected by the degree of dementia and the age of the elderly person, and personal relations with caregiver groups and sub-caregivers provide a negative correlation. Burnout as the second evaluation is positively correlated with burden and evasive coping (emotional discharge). Fatigue is reduced by sub-caregivers, and self satisfaction increases with coping responses toward problem solving. The stress relieving effect of social support was found to partially reduce burnout, but had only a limited effect in promoting mental health.

This study analyzed 251 completed questionnaires concerning the social support network of caregivers for elderly family members. The hierarchy of social support resources was assumed to be in the order of co-resident family members, non-resident family members, friends, and neighbors to professional caregivers. Using the subcategory comparison method showed that a lower member compensates for a higher member's absence for emotional and instrumental support, and thus a hierarchical compensation model was supported. Social support network members conformed to the task specificity model regarding emotional, minor and major instrumental support, companionship, and informational support. Further, for companionship and informational support, particular resources indicated that compensation depends upon task specificity. Therefore, revision of the hierarchical compensation model is suggested. Caregiver levels of life satisfaction in cases of coresident family support are than those of non-resident family support. The importance of family support, the possibilities of compensation, and the differences of social support networks that depend on the relationships between caregivers and caretakers, are discussed.

Intercultural adjustment of Japanese high school students who sojourned in the United States for one year is the focus of the study. Building relationships with host nationals using limited English competency is the challenge that seems basic to successful adjustment to life in the USA. A path model was constructed in which English competence leads to better social skills, which in turn affects the amount of social support gained from host nationals. This model was tested through structural equation modeling, and the model's fit to the data was satisfactory. The predictive roles of English proficiency and personality were suggested in a supplementary analysis.

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.

Cross-cultural adjustment of international students in Japan was approached through a comprehensive questionnaire that looked at various aspects of adjustment. Some 237 students of various national backgrounds participated in the study. Four factors of adjustment were attained: general adjustment, internally controlled adjustment, affiliation adjustment, and externally dependent adjustment. These four facets were analyzed with respect to several demographic traits of respondents. Some of the more important findings include the following: Asian subjects generally were less adjusted than those of Western and Latin American cultures

Perceived social support and relationship satisfaction of international students in Japan were examined. A total of 221 international students responded to a questionnaire composed of items that questioned the demographic characteristics of their network members, type of relationship, equity in relationship and satisfaction with relationship. Contact, relationship type and nationality of supporters were critical determinants of overall perceived social support, while relationship type, contact and equity were important for determining satisfaction in the relationship. On-campus relationships were important in academic support, while offcampus relationships played vital roles in both. This study revealed the importance of taking into consideration off-campus supporters in a study of international student adjustment.

In order to determine some of the necessary social skills for cross-cultural adjustment of International students in Japan, their overt behavioral difficulties were analyzed. In the first survey, 24 students described (1) some of the Japanese behavior which were difficult for them to understand and follow, and (2) some of their own behavior which were misunderstood or not easily accepted by Japanese. Responses were summarized through the KJ method into the following six categories: indirect expression; social manners; suppressed expression; relationship with different genders; attitude toward foreigners; and group-oriented behavior. In the second survey, 202 students were asked to list up to three socially difficult situations and 102 valid responses were analyzed. Results showed that the following groups of subjects experienced particular difficulty in aspects that follow: 1. female: social manners, 2. Europeans and Latin Americans: suppressed expression, 3. South-east Asians: attitude toward foreigners. In comparison, the following groups were well off with respect to the following aspects: 1. South-east Asians: indirect expressions, and 2. those who have been in Japan a substantial time: group-oriented behavior. A training model for Japanese social skills was proposed.
