수락에 대한 한일대조연구 -청유행동에 대한 설문조사를 바탕으로-

Abstract

The goal of this study is to find out the characteristics of acceptance strategy preferred in accordance with the social distance between the parties involved and existence/nonexistence of benefit involved in the contents of the invitation in Korean and Japanese language. The number of valid Korean language respondents were a total of 204 and the number of valid Japanese language respondents were a total of 127. The survey result, in the case of Korean men when there was benefit involved, regardless of the social distance, they preferred ① performative expression of invitation and ⑥agreement, and when there was no benefit involved in the invitation of a close friend, they preferred ⑤mentioning of favor･returning favor over ⑥agreement. In the case of Korean women when the invitation was received from a close friend and from a party with whom they were not close, ①performative expression of invitation was their first preference, however in other situations, ⑥agreement was the preferred choice. In the case of Japanese men when there was benefit involved, regardless of the social distance, they preferred ①performative expression of invitation, and when there was no benefit involved ⑥agreement was the most preferred choice. The difference between Japanese and Korean men in a not so close relationship is that Japanese men used word of appreciation much more. For Japanese women in a ‘close relationship’ and ‘relationship in which they wish to get close’ where there was benefit involved, ③clear expression of appreciation and positive face of the other party, was thought of as consideration. In a situation where there is no benefit involved, in a ‘close relationship’ and ‘relationship in which they wish to get close’, ④used reason･explaining of the situation, was the preferred choice.
