Social annoyance was defined as any behavior which may bother, annoy, or irritate others, usually occurring between strangers. Social annoyance is aimed solely toward fulfilling one's own personal needs, at the sacrifice of inconveniencing others. This series of studies investigated social annoyance from a cognitive perspective. Study I examined the concept through three surveys. In Surveys 1 and 2,undergraduates (N=672) responded to questionnaires which included items which dealt with their attitudes toward social annoyance. These questionnaires consisted of attitude ratings of 120 annoying behaviors, along with various personality scales (e.g., Locus of Control (Kanbara et al, 1982), Social Consciousness (Wada & Kuze, 1990)). Factor analysis of the 120 behaviors revealed two factors, labeled "deviation from rules and manners", and "inconveniencing others." These attitudes showed positive correlations with the personality variables of "respect for norms", "philanthropic values" and "moral values". Survey 3 involved undergraduates (N=417) who responded to a questionnaire which included items asking for their perception of how they think others might feel toward the 120 annoying behaviors. Results indicated that subjects perceive the annoyance that others experience exceeds what they themselves experience. In Study II, social annoyance within two specific social events, i.e. weddings and funerals, were examined. Subjects were undergraduates and graduate students (N=136,mean age=21.0), along with their mothers (N=91,mean age=49.2). The questionnaire included items which dealt with : (1) attitudes toward 12 annoying behaviors, and means of coping; (2) the degree to which they perceive themselves as a social entity versus an individual entity (Social Consideration); and (3) their perception of how society should be (Belief about Society). Factor analyses showed that Belief about Society consists of three sub-scales : regulative, symbiotic and selfish belief. Furthermore, mothers scoring high on regulative and/oo symbiotic perceived annoyance the most, while students showed a positive correlation between Social Consideration and attitude toward social annoyance. These results suggest that belief about society and social consideration are important concepts toward examining social annoyance.

This study attempted to construct the Interpersonal Orientation Scale (ISO) based on the concept proposed by Rubin & Brown (1975). High IOs are interested in and reactive to other people, whereas low IOs are less interested and responsive to others and more concerned with economic features of interpersonal relationships. The scale for Japanese based on Swap & Rubin (1983) was revised to the new scale (ISO-V) which was constructed by eighteen items. Factor analysis of ISO-V yielded three factors : human relation directedness, interpersonal interest and reactivity, and individualistic tendency. This scale had reasonable internal consistency. Correlations between ISO-V and other personality scales indicated expected relations. Then, the validity of IO construct and the usefulness of ISO-V were examined by two experiments. First experiment was aimed to examine the influences of evaluator's IO on attraction toward the self-disclosing other. By this experiment, it was found that high IOs showed greater responsiveness to variations in other's disclosures than did low IOs. Second experiment aimed at exploring the effects of subjects' IO on their opinions about reward allocation and cognition of it. This experiment indicated that high IO individuals liked equality and low IOs took a serious view of own contribution. These results suggested that this scale was useful in understanding behavior in certain social situations.
