抄録

This study examined the psychological difference of psychological well-being from homeland visits between immigrants in Japan and those in Macau. We conducted the Internet survey for 100 Chinese immigrants in Japan and the interview survey for 500 Chinese immigrants in Macau. As common results of both immigrants, motivation of "visiting friends and relatives" positively influenced "retrospect" activities, in turn, "retrospect" activities positively influenced "future orientation" feeling, and "future orientation" negatively influenced "CES-D score" which is an index for the tendency of depression. However, there were many differences in homeland visits by the immigrants in Japan and by those in Macau. Knowing these similarities and differences in psychological process will help to encourage homeland visit tours.
