Abstract

This theoretical essay purports to explore the conceptual significance of amae for Japanese communication research.The essay first reconsiders the interrelationship of amae with the enryo-sasshi interaction style by reviewing the pertinent literature within and outside the discipline of communication.Second, the essay reconceptualizes amae as two types of human communication needs (i.e., message-expanding and message-accepting needs) that both encourage and discourage the enryo-sasshi interaction style.Based on this reconceptualization of amae, the essay finally proposes the new concept of meta-sasshi (viz., sasshi on the amae level or amae reading) and presents a systematic model of Japanese amae-based communication.
