open-ended questionnaire

Almost all people expect for smooth human relations, and social skills would be the one to help people engage in that smooth communication. As previous studies have suggested, social skills have some contents which seem to be similar throughout the world and have some contents which seem to be different between cultures. In order to measure social skills within one culture, a lot of scales have been developed in U.S. and Japan. But there is no original one in China in spite of its necessity. For the first stage to develop an original scale in China, item collection was done in this research. Chinese students in Japan and Japanese students in China completed an open-ended questionnaire, and the human relations style of Chinese youth was shaped. Some of contents were consistent with former-already-developed cross-cultural social skill scale, and some were particular only within Chinese culture. The importance and possibility to develop an original social skill scale that reflects Chinese culture as well as cross-culture aspects was discussed.
