Experience of common symptoms and subsequent self care behaviors among older adults are compared between Japan and the United States, two industrial countries with different cultural backgrounds and health insurance systems. Based on a modification of the Health Belief Model, perceived susceptibility to illness and belief in the efficacy of physician care were selected as major explanatory concepts for the decision to use self care for a complaint. Among 900 respondents in Japan and 728 in the United States, in three communities of varying size, self evaluations of good health, an indicator of low susceptibility, were very similar. Although Japanese respondents claimed fewer experiences of physician error, they still expressed lower preference for physician care than did those in the U.S. In addition, the Japanese reported far fewer symptoms than their U.S. counterparts during a three month period, and were more likely to use self care, even for symptoms they considered more serious. Disparate effects of such variables as good health behaviors, presence of a chronic condition and desire for autonomy are discussed in terms of cultural differences in the two countries.
