本硏究では「賴み」と「勸誘」に對して、斷る際の「顔の表情」について考察を行った。「顔の表情」を「笑い顔」「困った顔」「無表情」の3つに分けて①「親疎關係」での「顔の表情」の樣相② 「上下關係」においての「顔の表情」の樣相を考察した。 その結果、「笑い顔」と「困った顔」は斷られる人の負擔を減らす機能を持っていることがわかった。特に、「勸誘」より 斷りへの負擔が大きいと予想される「賴み」において「笑い顔」を多用していることがわかる。 「勸誘場面」と「賴み場面」兩方、韓國の場合「笑い顔」と「無表情」が主に使用され、日本の場合「無表情」が最も多く用い られていることがわかった。 韓國の場合、「勸誘場面」の「親しい關係」と「親しくない關係」において「顔の表情」の出現數は大きい差を示さなかっ た。一方、「賴み場面」においては「笑い顔」の出現數は「親しい關係」で3回、「親しくない關係」では21回で、大きく差を 見せた。 これは、斷りの負擔が大きい「賴み場面」で、損ないそうな相手の氣分を最大限、良い方向に保持するための努力とし ての機能を持っている。 日本の場合、「勸誘場面」では「親しい關係」と「親しくない關係」もまた「顔の表情」の出現數はあまり差はなかったが、 「賴み場面」においては「親しくない關係」で若干、高い出現數を占めた。

In this study, “facial expressions” are investigated when refusing to the “request” and “recommendation”. “Facial expressions” were divided into 3 parts such as “smiling face”, “hard face” and “expressionlessness”. The researcher compared ①the function of facial expression, ②the aspect of the facial expressions in the relative degree of intimacy and ③the aspect of the facial expressions in the hierarchy.As a result, “a smiling face” and “hard face” were shown to reduce the burden of rejection. The researcher found out that they are used a lot with the “smiling face” particularly in ‘request’ to be considered a greater burden of rejection than ‘recommendation’. In case of Korea for both ‘the scene of recommendation’ and ‘the scene of request’, “smiling face” and ‘expressionlessness’ were used mainly, but ‘expressionlessness’ in case of Japan. In case of Korea, both ‘friendly relationships’ and ‘less friendly relationships’ appeared at a similar rate in the ‘the facial expressions’ of ‘the scene of recommendation’ respectively. Especially the emergence of a smiling face in “the scene of request” appeared 3 times in the “friendly relationships”, but 21 times by a big difference in the “less friendly relationships”. This is that the function to reduce the burden of rejection primarily can be seen with efforts they did not want to hurt as much as possible in the burden of refusal in the big “the scene of request". In the case of Japan, 　both ‘friendly relationship’ and ‘less friendly relationship’ appeared at a similar rate in the ‘facial expressions’ of ‘the scene of recommendation’ respectively, but ‘the scene of request’ had a slightly higher number of occurrences in the ‘less friendly relationships’ As for our future work, more careful classification of facial expression with more data and verification of the results of this study.
