Many of the participants have an impression of Japanese students with exclusiveattitudes relatively stronger than they had in the other countries. Particulaly,they think that Japanese have tendency to prefer association with specific friend to participation in group activities. It is likely that the exclusive attitudes shown by a smallgroup have a great influence to members of the other group,particularly on an adjustment of foreign residents or returnee students to school lives in Japan
