[Abstract] We investigated what kinds of first-person terms female university students use in their interrelations on campus and what is their standard for selecting the terms. Whether the partner is female or not, when s/he is a same-year student, they call themselves "watashi" as often as "uchi." Whether the partner is female or not, when s/he is a senior, they call themselves "watashi" most often. In the second case, they want to be respectful to seniors, or not to be rude. Our investigation shows that their standard for selection is year-conscious respect.
