帰国子女の母国とホスト国に対する態度変容とその影響要因

Japanese returnees' (kikokushijo) attitudes (behavioral intentions) toward their home country and the host country were determined based on Kojima & Fukada's (2010) research of short-term Japanese international students. First, returnees' attitudinal change from before departure to continuing until after return was examined. Secondly, to determine the attitudinal types of the returnees, attitudes toward the home country and the host country were combined, and the number of returnees belonging to each attitudinal type was examined. Lastly, influencing factors of each attitudinal type were examined. Data of 42 returnees who answered online questionnaires were used to examine the above. Results showed changes of returnees' attitudes toward the home country and the host country(attitudinal type). Positive and negative feelings toward the country, and satisfaction and anxiety of life played important roles in determining attitudes toward the home country and the host country of returnees. Ethnicity also played an important role in deciding the attitude toward the home country of returnees. Compared with the international students of Kojima & Fukada (2010), positive feelings toward the country, satisfaction of life, and ethnicity were important factors in deciding the attitudes toward the home country and the host country of returnees and international students.
