We reviewed previous empirical research on skin sensations within the context of the embodied cognition or embodiment theory, and discussed its possible mechanisms and limitations. A number of studies have revealed that tactile and thermal sensations could influence one's cognition and behavior, especially in social context (e.g., trust, empathy, and helping). We argued that this was probably because physical contact is essentially associated with security and intimacy, since it develops interpersonal schemata in early and later developmental stages. Our basic idea may well be supported by ethological, evolutionary, developmental, and neurological perspectives. The methodological limitations, including issues of replicability and generalization, were discussed.

What is the Japanese-specific prosocial behavior, if any? We attempted to articulate it in terms of the Buddhist Seven Practices of Giving: (a) bodily/behavioral, (b) seat-offering/letting-go, (c) house-offering/hospitality, (d) kind words-giving, (e) smiling, (f) tender looking, and (g) mental/compassionate practices. We argued with psychological evidence that the West-originated concept of prosociality refers basically to active overt behaviors toward others' welfare, whereas the Japanese prosociality involves one's subtle facial expressions and inner gentle attitudes. A possible underlying mechanism might well be theorized, based on Haruki's "alien reinforcement" theory, which can ably explain social behaviors especially in collective cultures.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the quality of Japanese websites that provide information about the treatment of eating disorders. Web searches were conducted using Yahoo! Japan and Google Japan. Two reviewers evaluated whether the websites were evidence based. A total of 41.9% (13/31) of the websites on anorexia nervosa and 57.1% (16/28) of the websites on bulimia nervosa were evaluated as evidence based. An assessment on accountability revealed that the overall quality of most of the websites was poor.

A theoretical perspective on the psychology of humor and laughter was presented. Concerning the direction of study, the author emphasized the need of comprehensive frame, wich connect the bodily and mental processes. Although the comprehensive frame for humor and laughter studies will be provided by the emotion theory, today's state of emotion psychology is far behind that. As such is the situation, the author sketched the interactional model of emotion in which bodily processes and mental processes are connected. as a tentative platform for humor and laughter studies.Finally humor model provided by reversal theory was critically examined as a today's most comprehensive theory of humor.

Since factors in common factor space are in generally correlated, two dimensional orthogonal coordinate system on the graphical display of a personal computer is not suitable to present the observed variables in it. The reference axis is defined as the independent vector of the hyperplane constructed the other dimensions. The graphical rotation methods on the reference axis such as the Promax and the Rotoplot are reviewed. The relationships between factor axis and reference axis are also discussed.
