This would be the first research conducted in English of the cultural, dynamics of the Japanese people from an anthropological, sociocultural perspective in regards to being confined in such an environment as Antarctica.<\/p>\n<p>Methodology: Using preferably first hand resources of interviews, or if not possible questionnaires\/ surveys, distributing them to Japanese people who are down at Showa Base or who have been in the past, regarding their experience relating to their adaptation of being in Antarctica.\u00a0 Using the concept \/ framework presented by Ikeno Davies in The Japanese Mind, Japanese are a people that base their existence around the idea of being accepted by people within their \u2018in\u2019 group and how they are viewed by the \u2018out\u2019 group, living in close proximity down in Showa Base, what is considered an \u2018in\u2019 group? Looking at the dynamics of a Japanese group.<\/p>\n<p>Chapters:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Group dynamics \u2013 general day to day interaction with people.

Do you have any ideas for questions? \u2013 Have to research how to ask open ended questions, Yes or No questions or Likert Scale questions. Questions related to relationships between the Japanese people down in Antarctica and individual adaptation,<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How do \/ did you feel you related to everyone living at Showa Base? &#8211; personalities<\/li>\n<li>What were some irritating\/struggles factors about living at Showa Base? And why?<\/li>\n<li>How did you overcome these struggles?<\/li>\n<li>As a Japanese person, does the group dynamic play a major role in your fitting in with the dynamic of the base?<\/li>\n<li>What are some of the comforts from home you had in Antarctica? What do you wish you had bought from Japan?<\/li>\n<li>How often would you make contact with Japan and to who?
