Japanese Psychology and My Research Topic on the Influence of the Presence of Parent Anxiety on Child Anxiety The difference in the identification of self between Western and non-Western cultures would impact my theory on parenting and anxiety because the whole basis of anxiety symptoms go against non-Western views. In East Asian cultures (like Japan), value is placed on adjusting behaviors to fit the demands of members in the group and properly fulfilling designated roles in order to maintain relationship harmony (English & Chen, 2007). The Japanese, non-Western version of self and identity would not translate well to my research on Western self-concept and the relationship between anxiety symptoms in parents and children. When comparing Western to non-Western views, the parent-child relationship is very different because of the oppositional views on autonomy. Western culture influences individuals to blame external stimuli for the presence of anxiety, categorized by the DSM-5 as worrying or physical symptoms that cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning. Could these symptoms be lessened or intensified when the individual identifies as part of a larger cohesive group rather than identifying independently? Anxiety can be influenced by life negative life events, which is not exclusive to Japanese culture, but anxiety can also result from tension created if there is incongruence between self-identity and behavior (Williams et al, 2002). Williams et al. (2002) analyzed the integration of Japanese ethnicity, anxiety, and cultural identity in Japanese American and part- Japanese American high school students. Their results suggest that participants with a mixed heritage struggled more with cultural identity formation and this contributed to anxiety symptoms. Interestingly, culturally intensified events correlated significantly with anxiety symptoms for part- Japanese Americans but not for Japanese Americans. Although behavior played an insignificant role in the formation of anxiety, the self-identified Japanese Americans who participated in Japanese activities expressed significantly fewer anxiety symptoms (Williams et al, 2002). The aspects of Japanese culture, particularly the development of self-concept, may be a deterrent for the development of anxiety. References English, T., & Chen, S. (2007).
