When do we begin to feel unpleasantness about being unable to reciprocate for help received? Do the reasons for unpleasant feelings when unable to reciprocate differ according to one's age and who provided the help? This study asked 2nd grade (n=121) and 4th grade (n=130) elementary school children on a questionnaire to estimate the importance of the reciprocity, the recognition of probability of reciprocity, unpleasant feelings when reciprocity is not accomplished, and the anger of the person whose help was not reciprocated. In this experiment, there were two conditions of help: from friends and from parents. When a parent had helped, the 2nd graders' unpleasant feelings was less than it was for 4th graders. When the helper was a friend, there were no differences in unpleasant feelings between 2nd and 4th graders. In addition, unpleasant feelings among 2nd graders was related to the possibility of helper's anger when reciprocity was not unaccomplished. Among 4th graders, however, the unpleasant feelings in the context of unaccomplished reciprocity were related to the importance of reciprocity and the recognition of probability of reciprocity. The study suggests that children come from the 4th grade to feel unpleasantly when reciprocity is not fulfilled, based on the norm of reciprocity.

In everyday life, we communicate each other not only with verbal cue but also nonverbal information of multi-modality such as facial and vocal expression. But, it has not been studied enough how we combine those nonverbal information.So, we investigated the mutual regulation rule between facial and vocal emotional expression. Any of seven kinds of emotional expressions (happiness, neutral, surprise, sadness, fear, disgust and anger) were presented to the subjects visually and vocally at the same time by still figure with facial expression and by his or her voice tone of short message. They judged the stimulus person's emotion by using both information.In the condition that visual and audio emotion were the same, we found that correction rate of judgements was high (87.63%), response time was short (4.20sec) and confidence level was high (4.35/5.0) compare with incongruent condition in which visual and audio emotions were different. As to the incongruent condition, we had two main results: (1) Basically, visual information was more dominant than visual information except disgust. (2) Many fused responses were also found, which mean the person's emotion was interpreted as the third one different from visual and audio emotion. Fused responses of "disgust" appeared most frequently. We considered it as the following: when two kinds of conflict unpleasant emotions were expressed simultaneously, we may interpret the true emotion with the bias toward "disgust" to make the accounts balance because disgust is rather ambiguous displeasure emotion..

The present study aimed to develop empirical definitions for the self-conscious emotions “zaiakukan,” “haji,” “shitto,” and “netami” in Japanese, and compare them with the definitions of the English equivalents of these terms, that is, “guilt,” “shame,” “embarrassment,” and “jealousy,” respectively. In the present study, 60 participants completed 556 statements that described emotional experiences. Based on their responses, the empirical definitions of each emotion were determined. The results indicated the following. (a) The experiences of “haji” were more physical than were those of the other emotions. Further, these experiences were considered more similar to “embarrassment” than “shame.” (b) The experiences of “zaiakukan” were considered more serious than “haji” and overlapped more with its English equivalent, “guilt.” (c) The experiences of “shitto” were more similar those of “netami” and “jealousy” than were other emotions, distinct because they shared feelings of resistance towards emotions and ruminative thoughts. These findings suggest that the terms used to indicate these self-conscious emotions need to be carefully translated because of the differences between these languages.

Although most researchers state that emotion is a very difficult concept to define, what is now being called a functionalist approach to emotion proposes that emotion is very easy to define. Emotion occurs whenever an event is encountered which is significant to the person. There is no exception to this rule. What makes an event significant is the RELATION between an event and one of four fundamental axioms: 1) how the event relates to a person's goals, 2) how an event links up with the hedonic state of the person, 3) how an event relates to the social reactions of another person, and 4) how an event relates to the prior experiences of an individual, such as in the attachment relationship. In this article, we intend to propose cogently some the basic principles of a functionalist approach, how it differs from the orthodox approach to emotion, how it is relevant to the contemporary interest in emotion regulation, and how it can be illustrated in experiments in infancy.

The study of using strengths seems hampered by the lack of a validated measure in Japan. This study aimed to develop and validate Japanese version of Strength Use Scale (SUS: Govindji & Linley, 2007). Participants were 429 Japanese university students. The exploratory factor analysis showed one factor structure. SUS had adequate internal consistency and high test-retest reliability. The measure is associated with subjective well-being, self-esteem, characteristic self-efficacy, and feeling of depression. Japanese version of SUS showed an adequate reliability and validity, and may be considered as a promising tool for future research and practice of strengths in Japan.

It has been suggested that emotional states modulate the breadth of attentional focus. However, it remains unclear whether this effect occurs from the beginning of the sensory input stage or at later stages of processing. In the present study, we recorded event-related potentials (ERPs) in a spatial selective attention task to examine the breadth of spatial attention at early visual processing stages. Twelve university students participated in the experiment. After viewing negative, neutral, and positive affective pictures, participants directed their attention to the left or right visual field and performed a target detection task. The occipitotemporal P1 (80–130 ms) elicited by standard stimuli was more positive over the hemisphere contralateral to the attended visual hemifield. This contralateral preponderance effect has been assumed to reflect the attentional gain control mechanism in the visual cortices. Although affective pictures induced significant changes in subjective emotional states, they did not modulate the P1 attention effect. The result does not support the hypothesis that emotional states modulate the breadth of attentional focus at early visual processing stages. Based on this and previous findings, we discuss that the emotional influence on the breadth of attentional focus may occur at later stages of processing.

The prescriptive definition of &ldquo;emotion&rdquo; has still kept absent even though the number of research into emotion increases steadily. To think whether the established definition of emotion was needed or not, we discussed possible problems caused by the lack of definition of emotion. First discussion focused problems about definition of emotion that emphasizes specific components of emotion. Then, complicated relationship between emotion and cognition was reviewed. This review showed the problems caused by inconsistent conceptualization and blurred boundary, and tried to illustrate ambiguity of the term emotion. Conceptual ambiguity might lead to vacuity of theoretical debate and research. In addition, we focused on the context-dependency of the emotion, and suggested that the context-dependent usage could impede conceptual development for proper description of behavior. Finally, we concluded that the lack of definition of emotion should limit the progress of the research in this domain at least potentially. To establish the prescriptive definition of emotion in the near future, paying more attention to the context information where the emotion exists, the cautious use of the term emotion was suggested.

Based on the theory of cultural task analysis, and viewing self-construal as an instrumental psychological function to adapt to one's cultural context, two studies tested the hypothesis that those individuals having higher consistency between the cultural context and the self would show greater positive emotion. In study 1, I measured cultural self-construal and positive emotion using 198 American students, and showed that those with higher independent self have higher score on positive emotional experience. Further, this was especially the case for European American students. In study 2, I measured Human Relations Questionnaire that divided interdependent self into subdomains of &ldquo;others focus&rdquo; and &ldquo;helping others&rdquo; using 226 Japanese students, to show their correlations with positive emotional experience. Additionally, &ldquo;others focus&rdquo; was found to correlate especially with relationally engaged negative emotions, and the subdomain of &ldquo;self-focus&rdquo; was found to correlate with high arousal positive emotion. Cultural nature in emotion was discussed in relation to within culture, ethnic and individual differences.

Psychologists, who are working in the broad area of research on emotion, need clearer definitions of the emotion-related words that are used as technical terms. This article reports the frequency of occurrence of six conceptual words that have appeared in historically important writings. The words that were analyzed were: affection, emotion, feeling, passion, sensibility, and sentiment. The study surveyed the following seven books: Descartes' &ldquo;The passions of the soul,&rdquo; Spinoza's &ldquo;Ethica,&rdquo; Hume's &ldquo;A treatise of human nature (Book 2), &rdquo; Adam Smith's &ldquo;The theory of moral sentiments,&rdquo; Haven's &ldquo;Mental philosophy (Division 2), &rdquo; and James' &ldquo;The principles of psychology (Chapter 25), &rdquo; and &ldquo;Psychology, briefer course (Chapter 24).&rdquo; In the 17th and 18th centuries the word &ldquo;passion (s)&rdquo; was preferred in the articles. In the 19th century, however, American psychologists mostly used emotion (s) rather than passion (s).

The affective primacy hypothesis asserts that positive and negative affective reactions can be evoked with minimal stimulus input. This phenomenon has been tested using subliminal affective priming technique, however, these techniques are not robust enough and have not been fully explored. The aim of this study was to clarify existence of the affective primacy and the underlying mechanism by a neuroimaging method using event related functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Fourteen participants were scanned during a task in which they evaluated presented facial expressions of "anger, " "neutral, " or "happiness." Target stimuli were faces expressing weak and ambiguous anger expressions, which were presented just after a presentation of either (1) faces with strong anger expressions as affective stimuli, neutral faces, or a non-face object; or (2) flash as a control stimuli of 35ms duration. Processing of facial expressions in each condition commonly increased regional blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) activity in the bilateral inferior frontal gyrus and left anterior cingulate gyrus. We identified the anterior part of anterior cingulate gyrus showed significant activation in the anger prime condition compared with the other three prime conditions. This suggests that the affective priming effect engendered especially in the anterior cingulate cortex. This suggests that a part of the neurophysiological substrates that underlies the subliminal affective priming has been identified.

Individuals with autism spectrum disorder have difficulties recognizing emotional information, especially from facial expressions. The present study investigated facial expression recognition ability among 17 children with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder and 26 typically developing children. Three facial expression tasks were used: the Eyes Task, the Morphed Faces Task, and the Movie Stills Task with and without faces. Children were asked to adapt emotional words for stimuli (eye stimuli and emotional scenes) or rate emotional intensity from facial expressions. Results showed that children with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder had difficulties perceiving subtle fear, complex emotions, and using contextual information appropriately in the absence of faces. These findings suggest that difficulty in recognizing emotional information from not only facial expressions but also contextual cues could provide a basis for understanding to social deficits among children with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder.
