DEFINISI
Amae by Takeo doi
• Istilah Amae muncul dalam dunia psikologi Jepang
setelah dipopulerkan oleh Dr. Takeo Doi, seorang
pakar psikolog Jepang ternama.
• However, in his book The Anatomy of Dependence,
first published in 1971, Doi states that amae is not just
a Japanese phenomenon, but the Japanese are the
only people who have an extensive vocabulary for
describing it.
• The reason for this is that amae is a major factor in
Japanese interaction and customs.
Amae by Takeo Doi
• Doi explains that amae is the noun form of
amaeru, an intransitive verb which he defines as
"to depend and presume upon another's
benevolence."
• It indicates, for Doi, "helplessness and the desire
to be loved.“
• Amaeru can also be defined as "to wish to be
loved," and denotes "dependency needs."

DESKRIPSI
Amae’s description
There is amae everywhere in the world,
but it is interesting that in the Japanese
language there is a concrete word to
describe it, there is even a verb amaeru
that means “depend on the benevolence
of others”.
Amae’s description
It happens that in Japan the
amae phenomenon is very
exaggerated and you find 40
years old women who act like a
15 years old girl.
Amae’s description
Japanese men like girls with childish faces,
they expect childish behavior from
women, they like them submissive; they
usually prefer this prototype, known as
“kawai”, than an elegant, beautiful
woman with a strong character.
Amae’s description
In Japan, men/boyfriends/husbands
like to be the protectors of their
women, it seems they don’t like to
feel that the women is the one with
the control over them.
Amae’s description
An example of amae coming from men
would be when the husband arrives
home drunk and the woman instead of
scolding him, she just helps him to
undress and go to bed. This is pretty
normal in Japanese dramas.

harmonius interconnections inside the
family, in the companies and between

keep the harmony, the
peace, the “wa” in the
