ABSTRACT

This paper is a research to compare of the sense that “the object is the other party’s possession” of Japanese and Korean university students when borrowing objects from a close friend. As a result the following 5 points were drawn from the study. (1) Japanese and Korean students both have the strong sense that even when borrowing from a close friend the object is the other party’s exclusive possession regardless of the type or position of the object. (2) For both Japanese and Korean students the sense that “the object is the other party’s possession” in genaral becomes stronger in the order of “eraser < phone charger < laptop”. (3) For Korean students, regardless of the type, the closer the object is positioned to the other party, the more it enhances the sense that “the object is the other party’s possession”. On the other hand, for Japanese students trivial objects are influenced by the position but otherwise are not influenced by position. (4) For Japanese students, regardless of the type and position of the object, the responses to the sense that “the object is the other party’s possession” are densely distributed on “very strong” and many share the similar sense. In contrast, Korean students show large individual variations when trivial objects are positioned close to the borrower or in between the borrower and owner. (5) Regardless of the type and position of the object, Japanese students have the stronger sense of “the object is the other party’s possession” than Korean students have.
