This study examined the influence of parenting on academic achievement\ud
among elementary school children in the United States and Japan based on Baumrind???s\ud
parenting typology. The applicability of Baumrind???s parenting typology to Japanese\ud
children???s academic outcomes is not clarified yet. Previous works have shown that\ud
authoritative parenting tends to yield positive academic outcomes for Western children.\ud
Conversely, Asian children are likely to attain better academic goals with authoritarian\ud
parenting. These two parenting styles have been revealed as typical parenting models in\ud
both Western culture and Asian culture. However, in modern times, the characteristic\ud
parenting style that belongs to each culture may be changed by a new generation of\ud
parents. Thus, it was hypothesized that (a) authoritarian parenting will be associated with\ud
higher academic achievement among modern American children, and (b) authoritative\ud
parenting will be associated with higher academic achievement for modern Japanese\ud
children. Two hundred and eight students from an American elementary school and 312\ud
students from a Japanese elementary school completed each measure of achievement goal\ud
orientations and parental attitudes toward them. After the data was collected, bivariate\ud
correlations, a one-way multivariate analysis of variance, and a two-way factorial\ud
analysis of variance were utilized to analyze the data. Support was found for the\ud
hypothesis that American children acquire the benefit of academic achievement with\ud
authoritarian parenting style today. There was no support for the hypothesis that\ud
contemporary Japanese children obtain higher academic achievement with authoritative\ud
parenting style.CSU, Chic
Postcard from Akiko Nakashima to Itsuhei Takano, September 1, 1943
No full textA postcard sent from Akiko Nakashima to her father, Itsuhei Takano, who was incarcerated in the Gila River camp in Arizona. She and her family left the camp on September 1, 1943. There are letters written by her brother, Fumio Fred Takano, asking his friend, Mrs. Parker, to deliver his truck along with Akiko's personal items to the camp. It appears that he was able to get his truck back and Akiko's family was able to leave the camp by the truck. The postcard captures the street scene in Wickenburg, Arizona.The Takano Family Papers contains materials from members of the Takano and Meguro family who reside in Los Angeles, California, including Issei immigrants Itsuhei and Tomoye Takano, Kumaji and Tsuruno Meguro, and their Nisei children, Fumio Fred and Yoneko (Meguro) Takano, Ruth Yoshiko Meguro, and Leo Ryoichi Meguro. The papers covers from prewar through post-war, including the period of forced evacuation and incarceration during World War II, the Korean war, and the redress movement in the 1980s. The papers consists of correspondence, photographs, camp newspapers, yearbooks, and other documents. Noted are photographs depicting the Japanese American community in Colorado in the 1930s, including photos of Japanese Young People’s Christian members; and schoolchildren and staff of a Japanese school and public schools. There are also documents regarding a real estate property in Los Angeles, California, which Fumio Fred Takano purchased in 1938, and his legal documents and letters present his efforts to protect the property during the war with the support of his non-Japanese American friend. Also included are letters depicting his struggles to be granted the indefinite leave permit from the Gila River incarceration camp in Arizona, as a consequence of his answers to “loyalty questionnaire” questions 27 and 28. In addition, the Issei parents’ letters detail their experiences during the war from an Issei point of view, describing the trip from the Pomona Assembly Center to the Heart Mountain camp in Wyoming, incarceration life, and their return from the camp to California

Letter from Joseph R. Goodman to Akiko Nishioka, May 27, 1942
No full textLetter from Joseph R. Goodman to Akiko Nishioka, regarding Japanese American students from the west coast who resettled at colleges and universities in the east.Personal correspondence, organizational records, government documents, publications, and other papers created or collected by Joseph R. Goodman documenting the forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II, as well as organized resistance to incarceration. Included in the collection are records of the Japanese Young Men's Christian Association and the Japanese American Citizens' League in San Francisco, including papers of the Japanese YMCA's executive secretary Lincoln Kanai; Sakai family papers; Goodman's correspondence to and from Japanese American incarcerees, organizations opposing forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans, the War Relocation Authority, and others; publications, photographs, and ephemera from the Topaz Relocation Center, where Goodman taught high school; War Relocation Authority records and publications; and newspaper clippings, pamphlets, and reports about forced removal and incarceration created by various government, religious, and civic organizations, in California and nationwide
Exporing the Influence of Parenting Styles on Development of Perfectionism in a Reward and Punishment Computer-Based Learning Task Among College Students
No full textThis study examined the relationship between perfectionism, anxiety (i.e., emotional state anxiety, personality trait anxiety, inhibitory anxiety, prospective anxiety, sensitivity to reward, sensitivity to punishment), parenting styles (i.e., authoritative, authoritarian, permissive), GPA (measured by self-report responses), and SES (measured as parents’ income) as well as a difference in the effect of high or low perfectionism, parenting styles, and levels of GPA and SES on a reward and punishment computer-based learning task among college students. One hundred forty undergraduates completed measures of Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (MPS), Parental Authority Questionnaire (PAQ), Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale (IUS), Sensitivity to Punishment Sensitivity to Reward Questionnaire (SPSRQ), the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), and a computer-based learning task involving reward-based and punishment-based trials. Results indicated positive relationships between maladaptive perfectionism dimensions, anxiety factors, and authoritarian parenting style. Furthermore, a direct effect was seen in between anxiety and learning performance on a computer-based task. Indirect effects were seen in between perfectionism, parenting style, and learning performance on a computer-based task. Higher GPA for undergraduates was positively related to adaptive perfectionism dimensions, and lower GPA was negatively linked to adaptive perfectionism dimensions. Perfectionistic students had higher anxiety, such as sensitivity to punishment, sensitivity to reward, inhibitory anxiety, prospective anxiety, and personality trait anxiety, than non-perfectionistic students. Furthermore, perfectionistic students had more authoritarian parents than non-perfectionistic students. Learning performance for both students with higher GPA and students with lower GPA showed an increase in reward trial across four training blocks as training progressed. Learning performance for both students with higher SES and students with lower SES indicated an increase in reward and punishment trials across four training blocks as training progressed. Parents, teachers, counselors, and other higher education professionals should consider how parents foster children to be healthy perfectionists, as well as what factors help students to acquire perfectionism involving adaptive dimensions that assist students in attaining academic success in educational settings. Keywords: perfectionism, anxiety, parenting style, GPA, SES, computer-based learning tas
<Articles>From Experience to Anti-Nuclear Convictions: Early Years, Crises, and Evolution of the Nihon Hidankyō
No full textThis paper is an English translation with some modifications to the original work written in Japanese by the same author (Naono Akiko, “Hibaku taiken to gensuibaku kinshi no aida: Gensuibaku kinshi undō bunretsuki ni okeru hibakusha undō, ” Dōjidai-shi Kenkyū 12 (2019): 40–57).The anti-atomic and hydrogen bomb movement is a representative peace movement in postwar Japan, underpinned by widespread empathy for the experiences of atomic bombing survivors, the hibakusha. However, the experience of being subjected to atomic bombings does not automatically link one to the ideology or movement to ban nuclear bombs. This study aims to examine the period from the establishment of the Japan Confederation of A- and H-Bomb Sufferers Organizations (Nihon Hidankyō), representing the atomic bombing survivors' movements in Japan, which emerged from the anti-atomic and hydrogen bomb movement (gensuikin movement). By depicting Hidankyō's movement in relation to the gensuikin movement, this study aims to elucidate the principles of the atomic and hydrogen bomb prohibition held during the early Hidankyō movement. It explores the circumstances leading to the organization's unique activism in the 1970s, amid organizational crises, including conservative elements drifting away from the anti-nuclear movement around the late 1950s during negotiations on the revision of the Japan-US Security Treaty, and the split of the Japan Council Against Atomic and Hydrogen Bombs (Gensuikyō) in 1963 due to socialist–communist disputes. The findings emphasize a reconsideration of the relationship between atomic bombing experiences, often viewed as the foundation of post-war Japanese pacifism, and the ideals of prohibiting nuclear bombs
