Abstract

The concept of ethnicity has traditionally embraced varying custom, structures, languages, attitudes, histories, and ideologies. More recently, ethnic identification has been studied as it sets boundaries between diverse subcultures. This report examines ethnicity as a function of distinctive interaction rules in encounters both within and outside the Japanese American community in Hawaii. Cost and reward criteria derived from exchange theory are related to interaction rules in an effort to account for dissonance in interethnic communication.
