THE POSITIVE RESEARCH OF BODY COMMUNICATIONS

“抚摸身体”是家庭生活中交流的重要元素。本研究的目的是通过分析身体交流所产生的触动行为和情感的实际情况和意义，展示现代日本人际关系的一个侧面。为达到这一目的，我进行了个案研究(访谈研究)和问卷研究(学生和普通民众的初步研究)。主要结果如下：1)与美国相比，家庭中即使是夫妻之间的身体交流也很少。超过50%的SpaS回答说她们从来不会手挽手走路。女性之间的肢体交流比男性之间更多。研究结果支持爱情女性化的假说。护理情境中触摸身体的性别问题在护理情境中，男性和女性更喜欢女性的护理而不是男性的护理。尤其是女人讨厌男人摸她的身体，即使在照顾的情况下也是如此。这种情绪支持这样一种情况，即在家庭或非家庭情况下，大多数照顾者都是女性。身体交流的一般情绪。女性通常对在公共场合的性行为(接吻或拥抱)感到不满意。人们可以认可女性的耳洞和染发，但不能认可男性的。

'Touching the body' is the important element of communications that occur in the family situations. The aim of this research is to show one side of human relationship of modern Japan by analising the actual conditions and meanings of touching action and emotions that are arizen by body communications.To porve the aim, I did the case sutudy (interview research) and questionair reseach (pilot research of sutdents and research of students and ordinary people).The main results are below.1.) Conditions of body communication in faimly situations.In comparing to U.S.A., there few body communication in family even between husband and wife. Over 50% spauses answered they never walked arm in arm. There are more body communications between female people than between male people. The result support the hypothesis of the feminization of love.2.) Gender problem of touching the body in the care situationIn the care situation, men and women prefer female's care to male's care. Especialy women hate male touch her body even in the care situation. This sentiments support the condition that most of carers are female in either family or non-family situations.3.) General sentiment of body communications.Women generally feel bad about sexual communication (kiss or hug) in public.People can approve female's piercing ears and hair dying, but cannot approve male's.
