Self-Hatred Among Japanese By Michio Kitahara In an article entitled “Self-Hatred Among Jews”, originally published in 1941, Kurt Lewin (1948, Chapter 12) described a social-psychological phenomenon among Jews. This phenomenon is known among a minority group or a group without power within a society, such as Afro-Ameri cans (Clark, 1965) and women (Goldberg, 1968) as well as Jews. But self- hatred can also be seen among certain individuals belonging to the majority within a society. The purpose of this paper is to describe the tendency for self-hatred among the Japanese living in Japan and to suggest the antecedent factors for the development of this psycho-social response among the Japanese. Lewin’s Concept of Self-Hatred According to Lewin (1948, p. 187), self-hatred of a Jew may be directed against the Jews as a group, against a particular fraction of the Jews, against one’s own family, or against oneself. It may be directed against Jewish institutions, Jewish mannerisms, Jewish language, or Jewish ideals. In most cases, says Lewin (1948, p. 187), the expression of hatred against other Jews is subtle. Self-hatred is a phenomenon found among underprivileged groups within a society, but the same tendency is also found among the second generation of certain immigrants from southern and eastern Europe (Lewin, 1948, p. 189). Lewin discusses the phenomenon of self-hatred in terms of field theory (Lewin, 1948, pp. 190 -197). According to this approach, a mem ber of a group is influenced by two types of psychological forces: one type drawing him or her into the group, and the other driving him or her away from the group. In an underprivileged group, against their will, many of the members are forced to stay within the group which they are ashamed of, and become frustrated. One may become aggres sive toward one’s own group, and being unable to cut oneself entirely from one’s racial or ethnic ties, one may begin to hate oneself (Lewin, 1948, pp. 190 - 194). Lewin’s approach is certainly applicable to members of a minority group within a society, but in the case of the Japanese living in Japan,
