Previous studies have reported that individuals with eating disorders (EDs) are more likely to use maladaptive emotion regulation strategies (ERS), and therefore less likely adaptive ERS than controls without EDs. However, these prior studies examined the differences in frequencies of ERS between individuals with EDs and those without EDs without controlling for depression and anxiety, which are known to be associated with symptoms of EDs and thus may influence the differences in ERS levels. Therefore, the current study investigated the differences in frequencies of using ERS (including rumination, brooding, reflection, cognitive reappraisal, and emotion suppression) between females with and without EDs, while controlling for depression and anxiety. A total of 2000 female adults (aged 20-59 years) completed a battery of online self-report measures. Analyses of covariance indicated that patients with EDs used ruminative strategies (rumination, brooding, and reflection) more frequently than females without EDs. The effect sizes of these differences were small, whereas the effect sizes regarding levels of depression and anxiety were large. In contrast, regarding cognitive reappraisal and emotion suppression, no significant differences were found between the two groups. These results suggest that higher levels of ruminative thoughts patients with EDs may not be cognitive symptoms stemming from EDs as previously understood, but instead from depressive and anxiety symptomatology.

The purpose of this study is to examine applicability of a statistical model for university students, which predicts both impulsivity and depression from effortful control (EC) and mindfulness.One hundred and eighty-six university students voluntarily participated in the questionnaire survey as follows: Adult Effortful Control Scale, Mindful Attention Awareness Scale, Barratt Impulsiveness Scale-11 and Beck Depression Inventory.Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) confirmed the statistical model showing good fit that impulsivity was directly affected by EC without mediating mindfulness. On the other hand, that depression was not directly affected by EC, but was indirectly affected by EC with mediating mindfulness.These results suggest that increasing EC could reduce impulsivity and increasing both EC and mindfulness could reduce depression.

Vitamin D was originally known as a vitamin important in calcium metabolism. Vitamin D in the body is obtained with food and also by synthesis in the skin under the influence of sun light UV. Vitamin D needs to be activated/hydroxyrated in liver and kidney for its action in target organs. These situations have not been changed, but its roles in biological system have turned to be wide and deep. One of the newer fields of vitamin D is that of neurological system. Vitamin D insufficiency has been reported to be related to the prevalence of dementia and also to the resilience to stress in the elderly. The relationship between vitamin D and stress in younger generation was suggested in some article, but still under the discussion.

This study compared behavioral characteristics and job stressors of operators and managers of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), examining the causal relations with factors contributing to mental illness. An anonymous web questionnaire survey was implemented targeting 600 individuals including presidents, directors, and individuals above the position of section chiefs of SMEs. Of them, 370 individuals were targeted for analysis, including 143 male presidents with less than 50 employees under them, 140 male managers, and 87 female managers. The covariance structure analysis results revealed that “malfunctional coping” in male presidents and managers had a positive influence on “job stressors,” and job stressors have a positive correlation with “mental illness.” However, for female managers, the path coefficient for “job stressors” with “malfunctional coping” was not significant and was not positively correlated with mental illness.Thus, male presidents and managers did not seek support from or appeal to others, or tried to do their best without complaining, which heightened job stressors and strengthened vulnerability to mental illness. However, female managers’ coping without seeking support or appealing to others had no influence on job stressors and did not cause any indirect vulnerability to mental illness.

The number of depressive patients is increasing in Japan. Depression is commonly treated with antidepressants and/or psychotherapy, the potential use of exercise as an alternative or complementary treatment for depression has recently received considerable attention. There are a number of physiological reasons why exercise may improve depression. The scientific evidence from prospective cohort studies supports the overall conclusion that regular participation in exercise is associated with reduced depressive symptoms. The results of randomized controlled trials indicate that participation in exercise programs reduces depressive symptoms in people diagnosed as depressed, healthy adults, and medical patients without psychiatric disorders. The results of two meta-analyses have demonstrated that effect sizes in intervention studies for depressed people are large. However, the evidence is not always consistent. Despite some inconsistencies in research findings, in the UK, guidelines which include exercise as a management strategy for depression; NICE guidelines have recommended structured, supervised exercise programs for mild to moderate depression. Further studies that are methodologically robust are required to determine more accurately the effect of exercise on depression. Optimal physical activity dose for reducing the depressive symptom should be extensively studied to for the prescription of appropriate exercise to improve mental health.<br>

The present study investigated the effects of a stress management program by the cognitive therapy for human service provider. The program consisted of the lecture and exercise which divided the cognitive therapy into six steps, and was carried out for 3 hours. After the program, statistically significant differences were found between pre and post program on the scores of STAI-S score, “understanding of the cognitive model” score, “self-efficacy in the awareness of their own feelings” score, “self-efficacy in the awareness of their negative thought ” score, “self-efficacy of looking back upon a thought, when it falls into an unpleasant feeling” score, and “self-efficacy over creation of positive thought” score. These suggest that this program improved stress responses, and human service provider might perform the cognitive therapy by themselves.

Many people suffer from undue psychological stress in modern society. We here examined whether emotional tears relieve stress and improve mood state. Fourteen healthy students were subjected to a mental arithmetic task, and were subsequently induced to shed tears by viewing emotional movie scenes or cutting onions. A resting state following the task was also used as a control. The mood states were assessed with the Profile of Mood States (POMS). Heart rate variability, especially the ratio between low and high frequency components (LF/HF ratio), was measured to evaluate levels of psychological stress. Fatigue levels of POMS and LF/HF ratio were decreased after shedding tears by viewing emotional movie scenes. In contrast, tears caused by onions, as well as resting state, resulted in little or no reduction in either fatigue levels or LF/HF ratio. These findings demonstrate that emotional tears play an important role in relieving psychological stress and reducing mental fatigue.

Objective: This study aimed to assess how the general public perceives and evaluates people with visible differences.Methods: This study targeted 153 university and graduate students. These students were shown four photographs, and were asked to anonymously answer an originally-developed questionnaire which included items on perception and evaluation of people with visible differences. After excluding questionnaires with missing values, we analyzed data from a total of 127 participants. Results and Discussion: High evaluation scores were obtained for five items, including “readily catching the eyes of others” and “being surprised when running into them.” This reflects difficulties experienced by people with visible differences. There were significant sex-differences in five items, including “being in a disadvantageous position when it comes to marriage” and “difficult to have a loving relationship with someone”; suggesting men evaluated people with visible differences more negatively than women. When assessing how participants perceived the reasons underlying the visible differences in free descriptions, the rate of correct answers differed by the specific reason. In particular, for port-wine stain, even in the perception group are had a low rate. These findings highlight the importance of educating the general public so that they would have accurate knowledge regarding visible differences.

The purpose of this study was to clarify factors that influenced stress in mothers with handicapped children. Thirty mothers (Age±SD: 37.5±4.8) living in Aomori were participated in this study. We assessed the mother's stress using the Japanese version of the Zarit Caregiver Burden Interview. We also investigated child's age, sex, body weight, type of diseases, birth order, Barthel Index of activities of daily living (ADL), the behavior disturbance index with handicapped children, mother's job, whether mother has back pain or not, whether there is enough family cooperation or not. Multiple regression was used for statistical analysis. The results revealed that the factors influencing mothers' stress were child's body weight, behavior disturbances, and cooperation of their family (p<0.05). Child's ADL didn't influence the mothers' stress indicating that the care of child's ADL has been accepted as one of the mother's proper roles. On the other hand, they were hard to accept child's behavior disturbances. These results suggest that children's behavior disturbances have to be taken into consideration when rehabilitation is performed in handicapped children.

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between job search stressors, mental health and social skills in Japanese university students. The subjects were 448 Japanese university students (171 males, 277 females). The questionnaire contained demographics, the state of job hunting, the 12-item General Health Questionnaire Japanese version (Nakagawa & Daibo, 1985), the Job Search Stressor Scale (Kitami, 2009), and the 18-item Kikuchi's Social Skills Scale (Kikuchi, 1988). 1) Analysis by t-test revealed a significant difference in the job search stressors between groups with high and low social skills. 2) The result of regression analysis revealed that low social skills showed higher job search stressors and stronger influence of job search stressors on mental health. These results suggest to reduce job search stressors and to promote mental health by improve the social skills.<br>

Great disaster brings a serious wound in the mental of the person and is known to give a obstacle in life. However, the influence to give a mental is big and is different in a case brought artificially when a disaster is brought by nature. Most of wounds of a mental brought by natural disaster are more likely to be healed with progress of thetime, but, as for the artificial disaster, anger and hatred are easy to be amplified with progress of the time. It is thought that victims of the East Japan great earthquake disaster of the last year are different from an earthquake in the person who met with the thing that the atural disaster called the tsunami and the element of the artificial disaster called the collapse of the nuclear power plant are high in the next progress. It is thought that it is necessary to consider what kind of correspondence method should be taken for the condition of stress that is dripped even if both mingle minutely.

This study aimed to qualitatively examine psychological and behavioral reactions to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) from the appearance of initial symptoms to after definitive diagnosis. Between February 2011 and August 2011, subjects were recruited by introduction from one patient group and four medical institutions (general hospitals). Twenty patients (mean age: 56.5±10.8 years) provided written consent to participate in the study. We conducted semi-structured interviews with the patients, asking about thoughts, feelings, and conditions from the appearance of initial symptoms to after definitive diagnosis. In order to qualitatively examine patients' psychological and behavioral reactions, we conducted summarizing content analysis. At onset, patients experienced the appearance as well as disappearance of pain. Moreover, patients saw things optimistically. While they mentioned "I don't know what has happened," their only exploratory efforts were to "look up RA in books." At the time of their first visit to a medical institution, patients came to harbor worries and anxieties. They transitioned to consultation behavior, saying, "I'll visit a specialized medical institution." Furthermore, after definitive diagnosis, patients newly came to have emotions and thoughts such as mistrust or a sense of relief regarding doctors and medical professionals, and depression, worry, anxiety, or relief regarding illness.

To evaluate the usefulness of physical computing method in psychophysiological experiments, instruments for measuring three psychophysiological indices, namely electrocardiogram, digital pulse volume and skin conductance were assembled using physical computing device (Arduino microcomputer) and some low-cost electronic components. Using them, cardiovascular and electro dermal responses of 12 undergraduates were measured during mental arithmetic (MA), speech (SP), cold pressor (CP), and mirror drawing (MD) task. In general, stress tasks increased heart rate (HR) and skin conductance (SC), and decreased pulse volume amplitude (PVA). Whereas MA and MD task induced moderate responses, SP task induced prominent responses in all indices. Only PVA showed significant change to all of four tasks. Lower HR reactivity in CP and MD task were consistent with previous studies. The reason for lower and delayed SC response to CP task was considered as a result of specific effect of local skin cooling. In general, these low-cost instruments were comparable in measured data to commercial available, expensive instruments. Not only functioning as a low-cost A/D converter, microcomputers thought to possess much potential in data preprocessing for varied purpose.

This paper consists of the following three aspects. First, it describes the author’s personal understanding of the developmental disorders. In clinical situations, we call the condition where congenital characteristics of developmental disorders and relational difficulties manifested in daily life overlap. The author calls it “developmental disorders plus”. Next, the paper captures the concept of “earnest living” as a continuous image of someone tirelessly, often patiently, and vibrantly lives today, by just believing in tomorrow. Based on these ideas, it discusses the developmental disorder from the viewpoints of “reason of life” and “precious existence (seen by other people)”. Finally, the paper examines the patients’ supporters as someone who “earnestly protect” the ones who “earnestly live” from relational difficulties.
