We investigated how the costs and benefits of telling a lie affect a person who is lying in an attempt to avoid punishment. One hundred and sixty-eight college students were asked to read three scenarios in which the protagonist gave an excuse for arriving late to an appointment. Excuses given for arriving late were: an incredible lie (a lie invoking an unlikely event as an excuse), a credible lie (a lie invoking a plausible event as an excuse), and the truth. Participants then rated the perceived degree of benefit (forgiveness and impression) and the behavioral and emotional costs associated with each excuse, and finally chose the "best" excuse for avoiding punishment. The incredible lie was ranked highest in terms of costs and benefits, the credible lie received moderate ranking, and the truth received the lowest ranking. Participants tended to choose the credible lie, ranked moderately in terms of costs and benefits, as the "best" excuse. The results suggest that people do not act to maximize benefit but rather to avoid high cost when making an excuse to avoid punishment.

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between emotional experience and autonomous motivation in academic and friendship domains. In study 1, the relationship between daily emotional experience and academic and friendship motivation was investigated among female college students (N=302). Results suggested that valence of emotional experience was associated with academic and friendship motivation, and the amount of emotional experience was related to the strength of motivation in both the academic and friendship domains. The relationship between emotional experience and motivation were similar in the academic domain and friendship domains. In study 2, the relationship between emotional experience of specific life events and autonomous motivation were investigated among female college and junior college students (N=106). Results suggested that positive emotional experiences were associated with autonomous motivation in the academic domain, while negative emotional experiences were related to autonomous motivation in the friendship domain. The importance of distinguishing relevant domains in considering relationships between emotional experiences and autonomous motivation is discussed.

This study used a diary method and investigated the relationship between self-reports of depressive symptoms, and engagement in "pleasant and unpleasant activities" as well as affective reactions to these activities in Japanese undergraduate students. First, participants (<i>N</i>=121) monitored, for one day, whether they experienced each activity that was included in "the Scale of Life Events in Interpersonal and Achievement Domains for Undergraduate Students" (Takahira, 1998) and rated the degree of affective reactions to each activity. Participants also responded to the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Result revealed individual differences in the level of positive and negative affects following experienced activities. Second, based on the BDI scores, we selected depressed (<i>n</i>=34) and nondepressed (<i>n</i>=34) groups of students. Pleasant and unpleasant activities were respectively defined as those activities that individuals rated and followed by positive or negative affect evaluations. Result showed that the depressed group reported significantly less pleasant activities, more unpleasant activities, and a higher level of negative affect following experienced activities. The two groups did not differ significantly in the levels of positive affects. These results demonstrate the importance of conducting an accurate assessment of specific daily activities and associated affects in understanding depression.

To investigate the development of olfactory preferences, a forced-choice procedure embedded in a simple task was used to 2-year-olds' (n=29) hedonic responses to two odors with those of 9 to 12-years-olds' (n=56) and those of adults' (n=29). Verbal communication abilities of 2-year-old children are immature, so to test their preferences for odors is complicated. To overcome this challenge, two physically similar boxes were prepared. f3-phenylethyl alcohol (a rose-like odor) was filled in one box and skatole was placed in the other. Infants watched an animation video in one box and the same video in the other box, and then they were asked in which box they preferred to watch the video again. The 9 to 12-years-old group and the adult group expressed a preference for the box with a rose-like odor. However, the infant group showed no preference between the rose-like odor box and the skatole odor box.

Impulsivity is a multidimensional personality trait and a common symptom of various mental disorders. In this paper, we review multiple perspectives such as behavioral studies, neuroimaging studies, and genetic association studies about response inhibition, which is one aspect of impulsivity. In various studies, the stop-signal paradigm (SSP) has been used to investigate inhibitory mechanisms. In our study, first, the procedure and theory of SSP are introduced. Second, the neural mechanism during response inhibition is ascertained using functional neuroimaging machinery. In particular, the activation of the right ventro-lateral prefrontal cortex associated with the success in response inhibition is examined. A number of genetic association studies showed that specific gene phenotypes affect the accuracy of response inhibition. Thus, understanding the mechanism of response inhibition is linked to the fundamental resolution of impulsive control disorders or personality disorders.

This study investigated expressive writing, methods of providing effective psychological support. People can promote self-efficacy in controlling their emotions and emotional quotient by writing down emotions and thoughts about stressful experiences. I investigated which factors influenced people’s willingness to engage in expressive writing—that is, how much people want to use or explore the benefits of expressive writing. A group-style questionnaire was administered on 361 undergraduate students. Results suggested that sensitivity to confront certain facts of their own experience, one of the subscales of the questionnaire, was related to willingness to engage in expressive writing. A t-test revealed that willingness to engage in expressive writing for the high-sensitivity group was lower than for the low-sensitivity group. A covariance structure analysis revealed that sensitivity had a negative impact, and positive thoughts and attitudes about expressive writing had a positive impact on willingness to engage in it. In conclusion, future studies should examine ways to decrease the negative impact of sensitivity to confront facts on willingness to engage in expressive writing. For example, one way might be to write only positive emotions and thoughts.

Involuntary autobiographical memories are memories of personal experiences that occur without a conscious attempt at their retrieval. Such memories are known to occur as recurrent involuntary memories; in other words, recurrent involuntary autobiographical memories are memories that people subjectively experience repetitively. These studies aim to clarify the emotional features and functions of recurrent involuntary memories in non-clinical populations. In Study 1, 170 undergraduates were asked to recall one recurrent involuntary memory from their everyday life. In Study 2, 99 undergraduates were asked to recall one positive and one negative recurrent involuntary memory. In Study 3, 202 undergraduates were asked to recall three recurrent involuntary memories. The relationship between emotional valence and the three functions (self, social, and directive) of autobiographical memory was analyzed. The results indicated that the recurrent involuntary memories were dominated by negative emotions and functioned mainly as a guide to the present and future behavior.

Zero-sum belief is the belief that someone’s gains are another’s losses. Assuming that beneficiaries’ zero-sum beliefs let them perceive benefactors’ cost resulting from giving benefits, this study examined whether the zero-sum belief increases the occurrences of grateful feelings and expression in apologetic form, which is represented by “sumimasen” in Japanese. We manipulated participants’ zero-sum beliefs and rewarded them for the task. Thereafter, we asked participants what they wanted to say, how they felt, and how much they perceived our (i.e., benefactors’) cost. The results revealed that participants whose zero-sum beliefs were experimentally strengthened were inclined to select the grateful expression in apologetic form from some options to convey what they wanted to say, though grateful feelings in apologetic form and perceived costs were not significantly affected. These results suggested the possibility that individuals’ zero-sum beliefs let them express their gratitude in apologetic form independently from the extent to which they have such feelings or perceive benefactors’ cost.

This study aimed to examine the potential associations between rolefulness and hardiness among high school students. We hypothesized that rolefulness would positively predict hardiness. The present study utilized data from assessments completed by 301 students (51% girls) in three waves over three years. Cross-lagged panel analysis indicated a significant relationship between rolefulness and hardiness. Specifically, social rolefulness at Time 1 influenced control at Time 2, and control at Time 2 predicted challenge at Time 3. Control at Time 1 influenced rolefulness at Time 2, and rolefulness at Time 2 predicted hardiness at Time 3.
