The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships of a sense of authenticity with various kinds of daily life activities and interpersonal relationships. Two hundred seventy-nine Japanese university students completed the Sense of Authenticity (SOA) Scale, Daily Life Activity Inventory for university student, and Interpersonal Relationship Style (IRS) Scale. Results of correlation analysis indicated; (1) men's activities such as health maintenance behavior and spending time with friends were positively related to SOA, (2) almost all women's daily life activities were not related to SOA, (3) both men's and women's self-expressive IRS were positively related to SOA, (4) both men's and women's withdrawal IRS and other-dependent IRS were negatively related to SOA, (5) only men's other-friendly IRS was positively related to SOA. These findings suggest that men are easily influenced their SOA by daily life activities, while women are not.
