■ Paper- Japanese Students Reading Stories by A. Platonov: The Experience of Dialogical Understanding
Susumu Nonaka; Danning Zhao
Studia Litterarum, Volume:10, First page:188, Last page:213, 2025
Based on emotional psychology, the article examines how Japanese students perceive the works of A. Platonov. We asked 53 survey participants to read his stories “The Unknown Flower (Fairy Tale)” and “Return” and to answer questions about the degree of absorption, appreciation and to what degree they were moved in connection with what they read. Survey participants also wrote in free form, their opinions about the artistic features of the stories as well as about the worldview depicted in them. A quantitative analysis of the results shows that, in general, Japanese students found it difficult to sympathize with Platonic stories, although they demonstrated immersion in the text and appreciated the works. Qualitative analysis shows that the students entered into a dialogic understanding, quite freely developing their thoughts about the theme and expression of the stories. Students paid particular attention to three thematic elements: a) suffering and its reward (in “The Unknown Flower”), b) multiple points of views and human relations (in “Return”), c) a sense of the uncontrollability of life (in “Returns”). Given that Japanese students read Platonov’s stories without sufficient knowledge of their historical and cultural contexts, one can conclude that these thematic elements can provide material for discussing what constitutes a “universal” appeal (in terms of accessibility to readers of different times and cultural backgrounds) of Platonov’s literary works.

文学を読む体験は読者の自己反省(Kuiken et al., 2004)や変容(Miall et al., 2002)を引き起こし、向社会的行動を動機づける(Koopman et al., 2015)などの影響を持つことが示されてきた。一方、実生活での感動体験は、自己の受容・向上意識、他者への接近・援助的な態度、価値観体系の更新(e.g. 戸梶,2004;Zickfeld et al., 2018)などの影響を持つことも示されてきた。
それでは、文学に感動するときに人はどのような影響を受けるだろうか。本稿では、文学的感動の特徴と喚起要因を検討した前稿を踏まえ、文学的感動が読者に与える影響を検討した。41 名の日本人大学生を対象に調査し、彼らがこれまで最も深く感動した文学作品を読んだ直後に起きた変化、現在まで続く変化、作品を振り返って感じたことについて自由記述を求めた。その結果、感動直後の影響は自己向上意識、文学への関心、日常のありがたさなどに関するものであった。次に、持続的な影響は成長・前向きさ、文学への関心、価値観の多様性、周囲への愛などに関するものであった。最後に、想起時の効用は自己理解、文学への関心、懐かしさ、世界や他者への関心などに関するものであった。
本研究の結果、文学的感動は実生活の感動と同様、直後に影響を及ぼすだけでなく、その後も影響を及ぼし続けることが示された。文学的感動の持続的影響には、自己向上・成長、価値観の多様性と他者への関心・愛など実生活の感動と共通するものがある。他方、日常のありがたさの認識や死への関心といった独自のものもある。さらに文学的感動を想起することには、自身の成長を振り返る動機づけ、読書の意義の再確認などの意義があることも明らかになった。

ORCID:166607283 - When People are Moved, Their Experience Transcends Their Culture : Examining Own-Life Experiences of Being Moved Among Japanese, Chinese, and Germans
Volume:58, Number:2, First page:57, Last page:77, Mar. 2023
The emotional state of being moved has been gaining attention in psychology research recently. Previous studies have shown that it is experienced similarly in many cultures, and very recently cultural differences have also been found. However, details of cultural differences remain undiscussed. To examine this issue, we conducted a cross-cultural survey of 460 university students in two East Asian countries (Japan and China) and one European country (Germany) about moving events. Based on findings from previous studies that moving events surpass people’s internal standards, as well as possibly change people’s values, we hypothesized that the experience of being moved in each country differs from their mainstream cultural characteristics. Profiles of being moved, including eliciting events, affective aspects, and cognitive appraisals while and right after being moved were examined. Our predictions were approximately supported by the results. The findings suggest that own- life moving experiences may magnify people’s cognitive and emotional range and even transcend their cultural characteristics.
