“…In my research with the Japanese, both in the U. S. and in their homeland, I have published primarily on three topics; first, the pervasive high level of achievement motivation in Japanese whether they are in a majority or minority status position (See Caudill and De Vos, 1956;De Vos, 1965, 1968, 1973, 1975; second, patterns of internalization and social identity related to socialization within the primary family which may be personally integrative or alienating (See Connor and De Vos, 1989;De Vos, 1960, 1965, 1968, 1968b, 1975, 1986e, 1992De Vos, Hauswald and Borders, 1979;De Vos and Suarez-Orozco, 1986;Wagatsuma and De Vos, 1984); and third, the psychological problems attendant upon minority status within Japan on the part of Koreans, or the ex-pariah caste now known as "Burakumin." These studies relate to a general social theory about the inner psychological adjustment and the manifest social, economic and political adaptation of minorities (See De Vos, 1962, 1967, 1971a, 1971b, 1972, 1980a, 1980b, 1982, 1983a, 1983b, 1984De Vos andWagatsuma, 1966, Lee and.…”
