Abstract

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.
