It can be said that this sense of inadequacy is a form of frustration or a sign of stress. The present research examines data from a total of 1930 individuals among whom 772 were Korean junior high school students (421 boys and 351 girls) and 1158 were Japanese junior high school students (616 boys and 542 girls). To uncover any indications of maladjustment, the researcher asked students to respond to the following four statements: (a) I wish to run away from home; (b) I want to quit school; (c) I want to die; and (d) I wish to beat someone or commit some act of violence. Between young Japanese and Koreans, the results show a statistically-significant difference in their responses. To each of these items, Koreans showed a higher rate of maladjustment. This was especially the case with the third item, "I want to die." Fifty-five percent of Korean respondents answered in the affirmative compared to only 25 percent of Japanese. The item "I want to quit school," however, showed no significant difference. Of the nine items outlining the sense of inadequacy, the researcher applied principal component analysis to extract three primary components. In these components, the senses of inadequacy were interpreted as being related to maintaining fashion trends, study hours, and career planning. The examination on the first principal component (weariness about being behind the latest fashion) reveals a statistically significant result, with the Japanese students figuring higher than the Korean. In the second and the third components, the young Koreans scored higher with statistical significance. The Korean youngsters seem to worry more about their academic course and future career, while the Japanese seem more concerned with social mores and the latest fashions.}, pages = {31--38}, title = {日本と韓国の青少年における不全感と不適応感に関する比較研究}, year = {2007} }
