Several studies have reported significant relationships between the season of birth and personality. An experiment was conducted to test the hypothesis if winter births have high scores on sensation seeking, or a tendency for morningness chronotype, then empathic accuracy in emotional contagion and the frequency of draws in paper-rock-scissors would increase. Participants (N = 130) were asked to pair with partners and report how much they (themselves and partners) currently felt lonely, hungry, and tired on a 7-point scale. After that, they played rock-paper-scissors twelve times. Results showed that the score of empathic accuracy and the frequency of draws were not influenced by sensation seeking, however, some of the results uggested a possibility of the winter birth effect on contagion-mimicry association. The relevance of emotional disturbance of winter births, empathic accuracy, and motor mimicry were discussed.誕生季節がパーソナリティと関連するという研究が報告されている。もし冬生まれの刺激追求が高いなら,あるいは,もし冬生まれが朝型のクロノタイプをもっているなら,共感の正確性が上がり,じゃんけんで引き分けやすくなるだろう,という仮説を検証した。大学生の参加者(N=130)が二人組を作り,現在の孤独・空腹・疲労の程度を,お互いに7段階で評定した。その後,じゃんけんを12回行った。刺激追求は共感正確性や動作模倣を促さなかったが,冬生まれの男性においては,共感正確性と動作模倣が関連し,伝染-模倣説を支持していた。冬生まれの情動的不安定さと共感正確性,動作模倣について考察した。
