What we should study is affected by the calling of time and society, and is not completely unrelated to political conditions and social policies. For example, although the studies on developmental disorders or on stress have been popular for a long time, those are not only symptomatic therapies but they also reproduce the reality. Also, the eagerness to adhere to the scientific approaches in the psychology world drives us in those studies using micro- or high-tech machines or highly advanced statistics. As a result, the situation of "psychology without society" may be produced. In this special issue, we would like to criticize the mainstream psychologies and discuss how psychology faces the real contemporary society from the view point of critical, feminist, and qualitative psychology.

This paper examines how psychology relates to society and social practices. Theoretical psychology and critical psychology have investigated the influence of both of internal and external factors on psychological knowledge such as the theories on personality, psychological testing and psycho-therapies. Generally speaking, Japanese psychologists have tended to avoid social practices concerning the social injustice and social inequality of those who suffer from severe life threatening. The author suggests psychological practices that aim to contribute to the welfare of people and to promote research on the mind with a critical perspective are much more needed in contemporary Japanese society where psychologization is rapidly progressing. This paper also argues for the New History of Psychology to deconstruct and reconstruct mainstream psychology, discourse analysis as a significant methodology to research the subjectivity of people living in 'the world after Fukushima', and the importance of the ethics of psychologists in the controversy on psychological torture inflicted in the war on the terror after 9.11.

Previous researches suggested that many children with mild mental retardation became unable to attend school from the onset of puberty, because their negative self evaluation was growing stronger due to the ill treatment of surrounding people such as teachers, parents, and peers. Howerer, some studies revealed that they showed the negative self evaluation only about their academic self, but not about global self-esteem. This was a case study of a fourth grade boy with mild mental retardation, who could not go to school during the second term but was later able to do so, was analyzed from the viewpoint of the positive or negative self evaluation and the accuracy and stability of self perception. Until he began to go to school, he couldn't express both the negative and the positive self evaluation. Before that, his self evaluation was fluctuated and quickly changed according to the situation and to other's behavior. Also, his self perception was not accurate and stable. The role of significant others who effected the modification of his self perception and self evaluation was discussed.

<p>Since Meiji Period, Japan followed the Western Nations towards modernization. At the same time, Japan promoted imperialism and patriarchy. The repeated wars resulted in setting a high value on 'motherhood'. During the WWII, the state-regulated prostitution since Edo period was expanded as 'comfort women system' that was enslaved prostitution in reality. Due to increase of orphans and street children, the Child Welfare Act was issued in 1947. On the other hand, the notion of Hospitalism was brought in and the 'three-year-old myth' was spread out. Although Japanese society experienced rapid industrialization, "Oil Shock" occurred in 1973. As the high economic growth began to fade, the social problems began to surface. Those problems include 'shinju' committing suicide - with her child/children, 'coin-locker baby' - mother abandoning her child/children, as well as children's domestic violence against parents, and rapid increase of school children resisting going to school. Those social problems were considered as mal-function of motherhood and a book called 'Bogenbyo (the illness caused by mothers)' became a best-seller. Decreasing birthrate and aging population became serious problems; and after 1990's, policies concerning mothers raising children were legislated one after another. In 2007, 'work, life, and balance charter' was laid down; however, the charter only created additional social problems as increase of temporary jobs and job market becoming gender oriented. Polarization between have and have not increased; single mothers, children and older single women have been reduced to poverty. In 1970's, women's liberation movement - called 'women's lib' - took place. In 1980's, women's study became a popular subject among scholars. Equal Employment Opportunity Law was issued in 1985 and Basic Act for Gender-Equal Society was issued in 1999. In response, there was a backlash against the movement, namely, the Law Regarding the National Flag and National Anthem was enacted in 1999, and in 2000's, the attacks against sex education and gender free education became fierce. Therefore, it is critical to be aware of the nature of psychology which always contains risks to contribute to nationalism. Since the bubble economy collapsed and when Great Hanshin earthquake happened in 1995, the 'age of mind' has arrived. The cultural ministry distributed 'kokoro no nohto (notebook of mind)' to every grade schoolers. In 2006, Basic Act on Education was revised. After child abuse prevention law was issued in 2000, among the measures taken against abuse, the reinforced was not the responsibility of the nation and the states for the next generation but the power of the states for the surveillance and supervision of the parents. In 2005, the Act on Support for Persons with Developmental Disabilities was enacted and the Special Needs Education began. Due to the fact that the range of target students was expanded, the range of the neurotypicals diminished; in result, the system contributed to standardization and control. While cognitive and neuroscience has been developed rapidly, neuro-technologies are in peril of misuse or worse perversion. Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami in 2011 exposed the sore spots of Japanese social systems. Although, the situations where victims are left with cannot be resolved by pathology; the understanding of the political and social situations ought to be reflected onto academic psychological studies. When we look back, psychological examinations have been developed to select the most capable soldiers among youths and the psychological knowledge has been employed for the mind controls and the war tactics. To avoid the risks of misuse of psychology, as Parker suggested, reflectivity is the key, that is to say,</p><p>(View PDF for the rest of the abstract.)</p>

The purpose of the present study is to make a critical comment on theoretical bases of "experimental small group" approach and sociometric approach which have been very common for studying group process of pupils in a classroom, and to make clear whether these approaches will be effective for the study of the process from educational-psychological points of view. In this paper, theoretical background of "experimental small group" method, limits of the method to studies on actual classroom group process and several conditions for effective application of the method were discussed. A discussion on educational-psychological significance of sociometric approach to pupils' group process in a classroom was also made.

Although a large number of studies have been made of make-believe play, little is known about the child's cognitive differentiation of fantasy and reality. A decade ago, Kayo(1981)proposed a new experimental method towards this problem. However, from the developmental point of view, much still remains to be done. This paper is intended as a further investigation of developmental change in this area. In experiment I, the experimenter began asking a child in play, "What are you doing?", and received the answer of an imaginary name or role, for example, "I'm making a pudding"or"I'm salesman". Later, the experimenter called the child or the pretend object by it sreal name, for example, "But this is sand, isn't it?"or"But you are Ryuji, aren't you?". The following results were obtained : None of younger food really as the experimenter had done. From these observatins, we can say with fair certainty that the mental movement of children(2:0-2:6)in play children(1:11:0-3:6)could make a valid objection. Older children(3:7-6:6)sometimes could make a valid objection. Based on these observations above, we can conclude that especially over 3 and a half years old, a child's psychological state in play is usually moving, changing and returning inside of make-believe. In experiment II, after the experimenter received play food, such as a "a pudding", from a child in play, he immediately put it into his mouth. The results were as follows : most of the older children(2:6-6:0)were startled and some of them burst out laughing. However, on the one hand, most of younger children(2:0-2:6)were not obviously startled, but on the other hand, many of them looked hard at the scene. Some of them actually began to eat the play lies between the two fixed states of makebelieve and non-makebilieve.
