According to Doi' s AMAE theory, it was predicted that there is some relationship between students' AMAE and Big-Five as personality traits. A new rating scale to assess the state of students' AMAE was developed on the basis of a previous study by Tamase and Wakimoto (2003). The AMAE scale consisted of 20 items, which constituted 4 subscales: AMAE-Desire, AMAE-Acceptance, AMAE-Contortion, and AMAERejection. The first two subscales were supposed to evaluate interdependent aspects of AMAE, whereas the last two subscales were supposed to evaluate distorted aspects of AMAE. One hundred and twenty-four undergraduate students participated as the rater who rated the AMAE scale (20 items) and an abbreviated form of Big-Five;Neo-PI-R, NEO-FFI (60 items). It was found that there were significant positive correlations between AMAEDesire and neuroticism (N), between AMAE-Acceptance and N, extroversion (E), or agreeableness (A), between AMAE-Contortion and N. It was also found that there were significant negative correlations between AMAEDesire and openness (O), between AMAE-Contortion and O or A, between AMAE-Rejection and E, O, or A. The implication of these findings was discussed in line with the predisposition of Japanese culture.
