Japanese 41, 7 American 14, 3
41 Japanese students chose A,waking up their son,and 7 Japanese students chose B,not waking up their son. The shi-square=24.08 indicates that Japanese students tend to have responsibility for their own children to society even after they have grown up. 24.08 is much larger than 6.635.(p=0.01 level)
On the other hand,14 American students chose A,and 3 American students chose B. The chi-square=7.11 indicates than American stedents tend to help the life of their children. 7.11 is larger than 6.635(p=0.01 level)
Comparing the two groups,the chi-square=0,09 indicates that the two groups do not have the culturally different criteria for decision-making. Both Japanese and American students think that they don't want their children fail in the job. Especially,it seems that it is natural for American students to make every effort to their own children.My hypothesis was that Japanese students would choose A and American students would choose B. Concerning childen and parents, I found that the feeling of the relationship was quite same between Japanese and Americans.
