Feelings of undergraduate students about being alone were clarified by comparing feelings about being alone actively and passively. Undergraduate student participants (N=315) completed a questionnaire consisting of rating scales and free descriptions. The results indicated the following. (1) A Majority of participants indicated that they were "quite often, " "often" or "sometimes, " actively alone. However, most participants also indicated that they were "sometimes," "rarely" or "never" passively alone. (2) Most free descriptions indicated that feelings about being alone passively, were negative, whereas descriptions about being alone actively included a variety of feelings, such as negative feelings, ambivalent feelings, and neutral feelings. (3) Results suggest that feelings about being alone were closely related to instability and difficulties that are peculiar to adolescence.

In 2010, we inaugurated a developmental counseling room as a part of a regional project to support children with developmental disorders. Part 1 of this study examined individual consultations and Part 2, Parent Training conducted in this counseling room. Results of Part 1 indicated that the goal of individual consultations were to accept the awareness and anxieties of such children's caretakers, provide psychological education and assistance based on assessment results, and refer clients to other specialized institutions and regional support programs. Future tasks are (1) improving the accuracy of assessments by using test batteries matched to the children's age and stage of development, and (2) gathering up-to-date information on systems and institutions available to care for such children. Part 2 of this study indicated that Parent Training met parent's needs to learn methods of coping with their children, to ease their sense of isolation, and for psychological support. It is suggested that the future task of Part 2 of this program is to respond to the need for longitudinal care as children mature. In conclusion, results indicated the need to combine individual consultations matched to a child's developmental stage and characteristics, and Parent Training that benefits from mutual interactions.

The information that a product is scarce, or on sale for only a limited time, threatens the freedom to purchase the product, by arousing psychological reactance and increased the motivation to purchase. It was hypothesized that information about restrictions on available quantity of a product (Hypothesis 1), and information about restrictions on available time (Hypothesis 2), would increase the intention to purchase the product. Female undergraduates (N=100) participated in a study to test these hypotheses. Participants were randomly allocated to a quantity-restriction, time-restriction, or a control condition. They were instructed to assume they were at a soft drink stand. A notice was displayed to the participants that manipulated the perception of the availability of the target product. In the quantity-restriction condition, the notice announced that there were only two bottles of soft drinks left on that day, and in the time-restriction condition, it was announced that it was the last day of drink sales. After reading the notice, participants were asked to indicate how they evaluated the product. A one-way analysis of variance and multiple comparisons revealed that the mean intent-to-purchase in the time-restriction condition only, was significantly greater than that in the control condition, which supported Hypothesis 2. Theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.

Relationship between emotions about spending time alone, how they spend their time to be alone,and the degree of loneliness and anthrophobic tendencies in university students were investigated. We administered a multiple-scale questionnaire to 347 university student participants. The main results were as follows:(1) A positive correlation was found between emotions about independence/ideals, and "awareness of individuality," an aspect of loneliness; and a weak negative correlation was found between emotions about loneliness/anxiety and "understanding and sympathy between people," also an aspect of loneliness. However, there was no relationship between emotions about fulfillment/satisfaction,and loneliness.(2) A positive correlation was observed between awareness of individuality and how participants spent their time during rest/liberation, and introspection.(3) Anthrophobic tendencies showed a significant positive correlation with loneliness/anxiety,and a significant negative correlation with fulfillment/satisfaction.(4)Anthrophobic tendencies showed a significant positive correlation with rest/liberation. These results suggest that awareness of individuality in loneliness was related to time to be alone, and that anthrophobic tendencies, a personality characteristic, were also related to time to be alone.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the feelings of mothers caring for children with autism. In addition, mother's stress and support needs were investigated. Methods: 88 mothers of individuals with autism completed questionnaires on the feelings of mothers with handicapped children, social support, and they freely described the mother's stress and support needs. Results: Factor analysis revealed that mother's feelings consisted of four factors: Pessimistic Feelings, Positive Attitudes to Childcare, Self-Growth, and Inability to Accept Disability. Compared to mothers of children with autism with severe intellectual disabilities, those of children without intellectual disabilities had a significantly greater Inability to Accept Disability. Many mothers experienced the most stress during infancy, and stressors included the challenging behaviors of the child and the difficulty of childcare. Effective sources of support included other parents of children with autism, professionals, and the husband. Conclusion: Positive and negative feelings of mothers of children with autism were identified. Mothers experienced various types of stressors, and these stressors continued beyond adulthood. Finally, the clinical implications of the present results are discussed.

This fundamental study investigated if picture appreciation could be established as a form of psychotherapy by focusing on changes of feeling as an index of the mental effect of picture appreciation, in addition to the language description method, which is a form of picture appreciation therapy. Participants were 30 males and 30 females. We examined whether the mental effect differed depending on the type of picture, its impression and participants'taste. Seven factors were extracted by factor analysis of measures of current feelings. Results indicated that when the impression created by a picture was positive, the mental effect of picture appreciation changed positively regardless of the type of picture.
