Application of Morita Therapy in Spanish toward Latin American Nikkeis in Japan

笔者在2003-2006年间开展了上述研究。这项研究的对象共有193名拉美日经人士。其中，他向106名日经人士(51名男性和55名女性)发送了西班牙语或葡萄牙语版本的MMPI，并获得了89名日经人士(42名男性和47名女性)填写的MMPI，随后他亲自采访了这些人。最后，他选择了50名日经人士(男25人，女25人)以西班牙语进行森田疗法。他根据MMPI和其他问卷的结果选择了这些日经人，并辅之以个人访谈，也确认了每个人的意愿。他着眼于日本的新经济趋势，检查了日本的适应水平，在日经之前应用森田疗法对其疗效进行了评估。一些意想不到的结果通过MMPI的统计结果得到澄清。与日本年轻人相比，拉丁美洲的日经人更倾向于表现出新经济主义倾向。同样，通过个人采访，他们也表现出了相同的特点。关于森田疗法的效果，总体来说，结果是积极的。综上所述，我们可以说，拉丁美洲的日经一直保持着在明治时代或100年前的日本占主导地位的新经济主义倾向。相比之下，我们看到如今日本年轻人的人格结构与森田新经济的立场略有不同。

Between 2003 and 2006, the author carried out the above mentioned research. The subjects of the research were in total 193 Latin American Nikkeis. Among them, to 106 Nikkeis (51 male and 55 female) he sent MMPI in Spanish or Portuguese version, and obtained the MMPI completed by 89 Nikkeis (42 male and 47 female) whom he interviewed personally later. Finally, he selected 50 Nikkeis (25 male and 25 female) to apply Morita Therapy in Spanish.He selected those Nikkeis considering the results of the MMPI and other questionnaire accompanied by individual interview, also confirming the will of each person. Focusing on the Shinkeishitsu tendency and checking the level of adaptation in Japan, he applied Morita Therapy to review it's effectiveness before Nikkeis.Some unexpected results were clarified through statistical results of the MMPI. Latin American Nikkeis are more inclined to show Shinkeishitsu tendency than Japanese young people. Also through the individual interviews they showed the same characteristics. Concerning the effectiveness of Morita Therapy, the results were positive in general.As a conclusion, we would say that Latin American Nikkeis have been preserving the Shinkeishitsu tendency which was predominant mostly in Meiji Era or 100 years ago in Japan. In contrast, we see that the personality structure of Japanese young people is a little different nowadays from the standpoint of Morita Shinkeishitsu.
