The differences in discomfort levels between 121 Japanese and 102 American college students in 30 communication situations on campuses were examined. The study includes the pilot survey for clarifying communication situations in campus settings and the main survey for measuring discomfort levels. The results showed that Japanese students indicated significantly greater levels of discomfort than did American students in the situations which refer to individualism, lack of apology for failure, and students' inappropriate manners in class. On the other hand, American students indicated significantly greater levels of discomfort than did Japanese students in the situations which refer to students' assertiveness, criticism, informal appearance, compliments, refusals, and professors' inappropriate behavior toward students. Based on the results, different cultural values between Japanese and Americans were identified.
