In this study, the cognitive-affective aspects and function of nostalgia were examined, based on individual differences and age-related changes. In Study 1A, the participants rated the centrality of features of nostalgia and natsukashisa (Japanese word for nostalgia), which were classified as central (i.e., autobiographical memory and positive emotion) or peripheral (i.e., negative and mixed emotion). In Study 1B, we developed the Positive–Negative Nostalgia Proneness Scale, based on the positive-negative features of nostalgia. The results showed that negative nostalgia proneness decreased with age; however, positive nostalgia proneness increased with age. In Study 2, negative nostalgia proneness was correlated with rumination and loneliness. Positive nostalgia proneness was correlated with happiness and nostalgia triggers (e.g., people/place and media), which increase with age. In Study 3, the presentation of nostalgic pictures increased familiarity and positive nostalgia proneness, and subsequently increased perceived social support and life satisfaction. In Study 4, positive nostalgia proneness affected the positive functions of nostalgia, and subsequently affected life satisfaction. These positive functions of nostalgia increased with age. These age-related changes are consistent with the socioemotional selectivity theory. We discuss potential future research addressing mere-exposure effects, autobiographical memory, cross-cultural, and aging studies.

Individuals usually imagine the future, set goals, make plans, and invest much effort in achieving these goals. However, individuals also often fail to achieve their goals by giving in to temptation. "Being good at self-control" is traditionally assumed to be key in achieving future goals. The present paper aims to clarify what "being good at self-control" means by reviewing psychological research about self-control. We suggest that the concept of "good at self-control" can be organized into two dissociated concepts: (1) "good at conflict resolution," based on executive function (or cognitive control) and value representation (e.g., temporal discounting, value integration), and (2) "good at goal achievement," based on value updating (e.g., habituation, goal internalization). We discuss related issues such as socialization or the agentic aspect of self-control, and we suggest avenues for future research on organizing the concept of self-control.

When interacting with others, the indoor physical environment influences interpersonal cognition and behavior explicitly as well as implicitly. Several studies in the field of traditional environmental psychology have focused on explicit processes such as pleasure, arousal, and stress. Additionally, some models of interpersonal cognition and behavior have been proposed. In recent years, more studies have been focusing on implicit social cognition. Furthermore, embodied cognition and the automaticity of social cognition are the major topics studied in this field. However, the implicit psychological influences of the indoor physical environment on interpersonal relationships are still unclear. In this paper, we first review the literature on the implicit influence of the indoor physical environment on interpersonal cognition from the perspective of the quantity and quality of physical factors, and that of the evaluation methods of implicit processes. We then discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the research methods used to study the implicit processes indicated by behaviors, subjective evaluations, and response time. Finally, we reveal the significance of and problems in the study of the implicit influence of the indoor physical environment.
