Since the lack of "omoiyari" in the children and young people has become a major concern of the society, research on "omoiyari" has received increasing attention, and has been growing dramatically. Research in Japan has been based mainly on studies from abroad on prosocial behaviour and altruism. However, whether "omoiyari" can be considered the same concept is debatable, and needs clarification. Furthermore, studies so far has been focusing on the observable behaviours of "omoiyari", which are the behaviours that have been put in action such as helping, sharing, comforting, and so on. This, however, brings up an important question, that is, must "omoiyari" be expressed in action? The purpose of the paper is firstly, to review the past studies on "omoiyari", and to consider the reason why "omoiyari" in action has been focused. Secondly, to argue that there is a need to consider, not only "omoiyari" observable as action, but those that are not expressed in action.
