520 $a The problem. This study investigates a phenomenon between the negative experience of Interned Japanese Americans during World War II and the degree of success of their offspring (children and grandchildren) in American higher education today.
520 $a Method. The qualitative research paradigm with a phenomenological approach to Japanese American Internees' offspring (children and grandchildren) may identify and examine a phenomenon in American Higher Education never looked at before now. This phenomenon is a connection between the negative experience of the Japanese American Internment Camps of World War II and the offspring of individuals of Japanese ancestry who are at least age 30. That connection may be shown through the analysis of data collected from a six-question survey. Alliant Faculty and Staff helped to design the program to run the survey on and set up the IBAR website for voluntary participants to take part in the San Francisco Bay Area. The participants' responses were then retrieved by The Institute of Behavior and Research (IBAR) and incrementally distributed to the primary researcher in daily data dumps over the period of one week via email.
520 $a Results. An analysis of qualitative data obtained from the E-survey on the Alliant International University IBAR website suggest that a phenomenological process has occurred, where individuals of Japanese ancestry whose parents and/or grandparents were in the World War II Internment Camps, achieve higher levels of academic attainment (as measured by college and graduate degrees) than those whose parents and/or grandparents were not interned. Conversely, the study results also shows there is significantly lower academic achievement of those individuals whose Japanese Americans parents and/or grandparents were not interned in the camps. The data obtained clearly shows a positive outcome from a "negative" experience: the internment of the Japanese American parents (or grandparents)is the leading reason for the origin of a phenomenon leading to the educational success of their offspring in American higher education today, some 65 years later.
