Shimizu, Nakashima, and Morinaga (2016) reported that tendencies consistent with defensive pessimism (DP) are positively associated with considerate and respectful behavioral intentions toward strangers. However, two limitations hinder the generalizability of their findings: (1) their participants were exclusively female students of a women’s junior college, and (2) the cognitive strategy scale used in their study did not take all four types of cognitive strategy; i.e., DP, strategic optimism (SO), realistic pessimism (RP), and unjustified optimism (UO), into consideration. We replicated Shimizu et al. (2016) with adult respondents and used a different scale to enhance the generalizability of the results. Japanese adults (N=337) participated in an online survey. Path analysis of their responses indicated that a relationship exists between DP and behavioral intentions, which was consistent with the findings reported by Shimizu et al. (2016). The study also produced exploratory evidence that individuals that exhibit UO show less considerate and respectful behavioral intentions in interpersonal contexts than those who display SO or RP.

The present study sought to examine the effects of the shift-and-persist strategy on the psychological outcomes of individuals with a low socioeconomic status (low-SES). Although previous research has shown that this type of strategy has beneficial effects on the physiological responses and health of individuals with low-SES, its effects on psychological outcomes have not been thoroughly studied. The present study investigated the relationship between shift-and-persist tendencies, childhood SES, and depressive tendencies using two samples. We performed multiple regression analysis of the obtained data. The results of study 1 (N=99 female undergraduates) showed that an individual’s tendency towards depression was negatively related to their persisting tendency, but not their shifting tendency. This relationship was replicated in study 2 (N=662 working adults). Although the results do not correspond with previous research, our finding that persisting is connected to psychological outcomes, such as depressive tendencies, is important.

This study investigated the replicability and theoretical validity of terror management theory (TMT). The proposition that mortality salience (MS) leads humans to defend their cultural worldviews has found support in Western cultures. This finding was also replicated in Japan, a non-Western culture (Heine et al., 2002); however, there are limited findings of Japan. The meaning maintenance model proposes that cultural worldview defense is the result of meaning violation (MV) rather than anxiety of death. To investigate TMT in Japan, we conducted an internet survey among people in their 20s and 50s. We examined the effects of three experimental manipulations (MS, MV, and control) on cultural worldview defense. Results indicated that individuals in their 50s in the MS condition had a reaction opposite to the one described by Heine et al. (2002) and MV manipulation showed no effect. This suggests that cultural worldview defense did not occur in Japanese individuals.
