ABSTRACT

The purpose of this exploratory study is to derive types of how Japanese students perceive Korean students. In this study, the Q methodology is used for categorization. The Q methodology is a fusion methodology of qualitative and quantitative research developed by Stephenson. A total of 29 Q-samples were constructed for the Q methodology, and a study was conducted on 39 P-samples. The collected data were processed using SPSS 18.0. As a result of the study, there were three types. The first type is 'cultural intimacy'. This type considers Korean international students as a medium for cultural experiences and shows high intimacy. The second type is 'confirmation of superiority'. This type basically recognizes Korean international students as competitors. These types also recognize the discrimination Korean students face in Japan. In other words, it is also a type that shows a very ambivalent perception. The third type is 'conscious distancing'. These types are conscious of the existence of Korean international students, but do not try to approach them first. They think that there is no relationship between Korean international students and themselves. Based on the above research results, the following implications are presented. First, Japanese students do not want to exclude Korean international students. Second, in order to improve the positive perception of Korean international students, it is necessary to increase the field of cultural exchange.
