The purpose of this intriguing book is to bring together various approaches to the study of Japanese apology in an attempt to answer some of the critical questions currently being raised in this subject: a) how Japanese apology differs from that of other cultures, b)what seems to cause such differences, and c)how these cultural differences in apology effect communication across cultural boundaries. Chapters included in this book represent such disciplinary affiliations as social psychology, rhetoric, conversation analysis, and interpersonal communication. Accordingly, the critical issues concerning Japanese apology are examined from diverse methodological perspectives: experiment, survey, text analysis, media analysis and interview.
