Fifty adjectives scales from the Semantic Differential Technique were given to university students in Japan, Taiwan, and Korea in 1986.The outcome was as follows : (1) As a result of factor analysis, the scales of each country were divided into several semantic sphere. "Active and self-supportiveness," "gentleness," and "cooperative" appeared in all the three countries. "Capability" was singled out as a special semantic sphere for Japan, "greatness" for Korea and Taiwan, and "cheerfullness" for Taiwan. (2) In the "active and self-supportiveness" sphere, students in. the three countries tend to have negative images. However, in the "gentleness," they have a positive image. "Unproductive, dependent and weak but gentle and warm" is the common image in Japan, Taiwan and Korea .

As the society is industrialized, personal experiences with the aged become a more important factor.
