Abstract

This study examined the differences in touching behaviors between Japanese and Koreans at different developmental stages. A survey questionnaire was administered among the parents of 520 Japanese and 577 Korean children from kindergarten to junior high school. An analysis of variance revealed that the level of touch was significantly higher in Korea than that in Japan at the kindergarten and, especially, junior high school stages. While the parents of elementary school children used largely the same level of touch in both countries, the level of touch decreased rapidly among Japanese parents at the junior high school stage. These results were supported by the results obtained from the questionnaire survey administered among junior high school children themselves. The differences in touching behaviors between Japanese and Korean children at junior high school stage could be interpreted as a sign of internalization of cultural norms.
