N2  - Despite evidence regarding the impact of childhood abuse perpetrated by close others, or high betrayal trauma, a number of barriers continue to impede research efforts, including concerns that research may do more harm than good. Research conducted with Western samples has indicated that contrary to such concerns, participants rate the benefit of participating in trauma research as outweighing costs, even when they have a history of high betrayal trauma. Certain non-Western values, such as interpersonal harmony, could play a role in perceptions regarding trauma research participation. The current study evaluated perceptions of 79 Japanese undergraduate students who participated in an online study of child abuse. Japanese students rated the importance of participating in trauma research as greater than any immediate distress it caused. Interpersonal harmony was not related to perceptions of participating in trauma research, nor was a history of high betrayal child trauma. Taken together, these findings support continued research on childhood abuse in non-Western samples.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
