- Abstract
Most contemporary adolescents discuss relationships with their friends by using kyara, a shortened form of the Japanese pronunciation of the English word "character." This study examined the relationship between friendship with kyara and approval motivation or fear of being negatively evaluated in a comparison of junior high school and university students. In all, 434 junior high school students and 219 university students participated in the study and completed a questionnaire. The results suggested that the university students use kyara at higher rate in their friendship than junior high school students did, and those who incorporated kyara scored higher on praise seeking than those who did not. Factor analysis identified three factors that are part of the acceptance of kyara: active acceptance, rejection, and indifference. An analysis indicated that praise seekers exhibited kyara, and praise seeking was related to the active acceptance of kyara. On the contrary, those with a sense of fear of negative evaluations tended to reject kyara. These results were found regardless of the students' educational level.
