    Notes: Abstract Reviewed are research findings related to Japanese attitudes toward the elderly. Although several studies approaching this theme have been published in Japan since 1952, most of them are not known outside Japan because they were written in Japanese. These studies explored the presence of negative attitudes which were usually masked with rituals of respect for the elderly. People's proper use of tatemae, culturally defined normative meaning, and honne, actual feeling, in their attitudes toward the elderly is discussed as a potential source of the American idealization of aging in Japan.

    Negative misconceptions about aging in Japanese adults (1987)
    Springer
    Journal of cross-cultural gerontology 2 (1987), S. 131-137

    Notes: Abstract Knowledge about old age and aging in Japanese urban adults aged 30 to 59 years was measured by Palmore's Facts on Aging Quiz. Educational background significantly related to the level of knowledge. However, age, sex, and co-residence with elderly parents were not related to knowledge. Comparison between average percent errorpositive and average percent error-negative revealed the fact that negative misconceptions about old age and aging are commonly held by Japanese adults.

    Factors contributing to longitudinal changes in activities of daily living (ADL): The Koganei study (1991)
    Springer
    Journal of cross-cultural gerontology 6 (1991), S. 91-99 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-0719
    Keywords: community elderly ; longitudinal study ; predictors for ADL changes ; social activities
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Ethnic Sciences , Sociology
    Notes: Abstract The present study is based on a 10-year observation of the completely competent elderly people aged 69–71 years in 1976, living at home. The purpose of the study is to identify predictors of incompetence in ADL at the follow-up carried out 10 years later. Among all the items of ADL, i.e., walking, eating, toileting, bathing, and dressing, the most remarkable decline was found in walking. The incompetent, those who suffered loss of independence on one or more items of ADL at follow-up, accouned for 32.4% of men and 25.6% of women. In the univariate logistic regression analysis, low levels of social activities in both sexes, history of hypertension and ECG abnormalities in men, and overweight and anxiety about present health status in women had a significant relationship to incompetence in ADL. The significance of social activities for both sexes was still observed in the multivariate analysis.

    The social support system of the Japanese elderly (1994)
    Springer
    Journal of cross-cultural gerontology 9 (1994), S. 323-333 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-0719
    Keywords: social support ; social relationships ; family ; Japan
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Ethnic Sciences , Sociology
    Notes: Abstract The social support system of the Japanese elderly was observed in a national representative sample of elderly community residents. Perceived availability of emotional and instrumental support from family members, children living apart, siblings and relatives, neighbors, and friends was respectively estimated. For both emotional and instrumental support, the perceived most dependable source of support was family members living together, followed by children living apart, while neighbors and friends were less dependable sources of support. The results clearly indicated family-centrality in the social support system of the Japanese elderly. However, the results also indicated differential roles of family members, children living apart, and non-kin others in the social support system of the elderly, and suggested the need to observe dyadic social relationships of Japanese elderly individuals.
