Here we investigated the affect of 150 visitors before and after the following three types of interaction with dolphins: observing dolphins, touching dolphins for 1 min under the guidance of an instructor, and swimming with two dolphins and one instructor for 10 min. Negative affects, positive engagement (high arousal and positive affect), and tranquility (low arousal and positive affect) before and after each interaction were measured. Negative affect and tranquility levels significantly decreased and increased, respectively, independent of the type of interaction. On the other hand, positive engagement levels increased after all types of interaction; however, the magnitude of this increase was significantly greater in visitors who touched the dolphins than in those who merely observed them. These variations in positive engagement across different interactions enhanced our understanding of the effects of different interactions with dolphins on people’s affects.

“Emptiness” (Munashisa in Japanese) is a common feeling, yet there are a few studies of the feeling in our country. They suggest that emptiness is related to identity reconstruction, but researches that shows the process of emptiness doesn't exist and that of old stage doesn't, either. The purpose of this study is to clarify the process of arousal and continuance of emptiness during the young-old stage. The data of 14 people (7 men, 7 women; age of 62–78) from semi-structured interviews were analyzed with Grounded Theory Approach. Young-olds' emptiness was experienced in 3 circumstances: Searching hobbies, changes of parent-child relationship, conducting themselves in the business community. In every situation, they recognize various types of aging or life events in the developmental state at first. Then the loss of control realized. And they couldn't take the initiative, feel emptiness. The results also suggest that though young-olds are struggling to get out of the process of emptiness, but often fail and feel it again.

This study investigated the difference of impression between live and recorded music. University students (<i>N</i>=205) were requested to complete a questionnaire including scales of mood, affective value of music and evaluation toward the music after listening live and recorded piano music. The results suggested that live stimulative music maintained high level of active feelings and live sedative music increased relax feelings compared to recorded music. In addition, compared to recorded music, live music induced less feeling of fatigue. Moreover live music was preferred and appreciated compared to recorded music though no significant difference was observed between live and recorded music in terms of "brightness" and "speed", which are the subscales of affective value of music.

The study of eating in psychology takes place primarily at the physiological level, and research themes generally view eating as a biological behavior, controlled by biologically-based motives. This paper emphasizes the role of mental processes involved in the starting and stopping of eating, as well as the importance of affective processes in eating behaviors. Cognitive eating controls found in dieters who eagerly desire to reduce their body weight are case in point; their eating behavior is difficult to explain without considering mental processes. However difficulties in predicting how emotions affect eating linger, as previous research examining the relationship between emotions and eating often suggest contradictory and confounding results. A five-way model proposed by Macht (2008) shows promise as a good tool to analyze these differing viewpoints, and develop hypotheses to investigate the relationship between emotions and eating.

This study examined effects of hedonic tones produced by odor stimuli on human mental performance. Thirty subjects were equally assigned to one of three olfactory stimulus groups: a control group with blank air, a Rose and a Ylang-ylang scented air group. From a preliminary study, we selected the latter as an unpleasant odor stimulus. The subjects of a different group received a different olfactory stimulus into a their nostril while they performed an audio-visual dual task. In this task the subjects were required to discriminate the difference in duration of a tone stimulus and to press a right hand key when they found the tone shorter. Engaging in this performance they had to attend to a red light rested in front of them and to press a left hand key when the light was turned off. For this visual performance the subjects of the Ylangylang group improved the detection of the signals in the first odor block. For the auditory performance, however, they made more errors than those of other groups. These results suggested that whiffs of an unpleasant odor would enhance detectability of the visual signal, but inhibit cognitive processes associated with discrimination in the dual task performance.

The purpose of this study was to examine how well-being is associated with self-compassion and self-esteem, mediated by coping styles. Two hundred and forty-seven undergraduate students (mean age=19.37 years, SD=1.12) completed questionnaires comprised of scales measuring self-compassion, self-esteem, coping styles, and subjective well-being. Covariance structure analysis showed that (a) self-compassion was positively related to positive interpretations, and resulted in good well-being; (b) self-compassion was associated with planning positively; (c) self-esteem was positively related to well-being directly; (d) self-esteem was associated with abandonment and avoidance of responsibility negatively and catharsis positively. Finally, we discussed the different relationships between self-compassion and self-esteem with well-being.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of exchanging emoticons through mobile text messages on interpersonal emotions. We examined whether reciprocal use of emoticons influence interpersonal emotions, by using the scenario method. The scenarios used were either usual mail exchanges, such as waiting for a friend (Study 1), apologizing, and being accepted by a friend (Study 2), or being rejected by a friend (Study 3). Results of Studies 1 and 2 indicated that positive emotions decreased and negative emotions increased when an emoticon was not used in response to a sent message with an emoticon, which could be caused by the violation of the reciprocity norm. In Study 3, the reciprocity norm had no effect and while positive emotions increased, negative emotions decreased as a result of emoticons in messages that were received. These results suggest that reciprocal use of emoticons is important in cooperative mail exchanges, such as usual communications, and when being accepted, but not important in non-cooperative situations, such as being rejected.

Attentional bias to threatening information has been considered to be one of the cognitive features of anxiety mood. Although Bower's associative network theory (1981, 1991) has been used to explain attentional bias, Bower's theory is insufficient to explain the maintenance of anxiety mood. The present study aimed to investigate whether activation of a network was maintained by emotional words acquired through attentional bias. Thirty-four undergraduates who served as participants were induced into a positive mood (Positive Condition) or a negative mood (Negative Condition) through music induction and the Velten induction method. Results of a dot-probe task revealed that reaction time to probes following negative words was faster than to probes following neutral words in the Negative Condition, while reaction time to probes following positive words was not significantly different from reaction time to that of neutral words in the Positive Condition. Further, attentional bias was observed only in the negative condition. Subjective mood judgement results revealed that only negative mood was maintained in the Negative Condition. These results suggest that selective attention to threatening information can maintain a negative mood.

This study examined the relationships between cultural self-construal (independence/interdependence) and the clarity of emotional awareness, and if the relationships were mediated by interoceptive accuracy. Participants included 100 graduates and undergraduates. After completing scales that assessed cultural self-construal and private self-consciousness, participants performed a heartbeat tracking task, which assessed their interoceptive accuracy. They then viewed negative pictures and evaluated their emotional states. We found that, in males, independence was positively linked to the clarity of emotional awareness, and interdependence was negatively linked to it. Furthermore, when controlling private self-consciousness and heart rate during the heartbeat tracking task, only the relationship between a high sense of interdependence and unclear emotional awareness was mediated by inaccurate interoception. On the other hand, independence and interdependence were not linked to the clarity of emotional awareness in females. These results suggested the possibility that males who had a high sense of interdependence were not clearly aware of their own emotional states because of their insensitivity to internal bodily states.

We investigated the effects of a special breathing technique, the “Breathing Retraining technique,” on performance in emergency situations. Participants were divided into three groups: breathing method group, visual task group, and the control group. Participants in the breathing method group performed the breathing retraining technique; those in the visual task group performed a simple visual task, whereas the control group performed any task, before the main task. The main task was the water-pipe game, in which participants clicked a computer mouse in various situations to complete the game using the minimum number of clicks. Results indicated that the breathing method group accomplished the most difficult main tasks faster and more efficiently than the other groups in simulated emergency situations. These results suggest that people can work comparatively fast and efficiently, even in emergency situations, by practicing the breathing retraining technique in advance. Additionally, there were no significant differences between the visual task group and the control group. This result indicates that it is not important that putting merely interval, but practicing the right breathing method improves behavior in emergencies.

This study aimed to explore how emotional reactions toward criminals and victims affect punitiveness, with special attention to fear, anger, and empathy. Past research on punitiveness has long emphasized the role of emotion in determining individual levels of punitiveness. However, these studies have at least two limitations: 1) varying definitions of punitiveness among studies, and 2) limited scope of research—mainly limited to Western countries. We addressed these limitations by using a validified scale measuring punitiveness in the Japanese context. Questionnaires were distributed to 330 individuals. The results showed that fear of crime, anger toward criminals, and empathy toward criminals and victims were all correlated with two sub-constructs of punitiveness (support for harsher punishment and criminalization). However, once other variables were controlled, only anger toward criminals and fear of crime showed a significant relation with punitiveness, suggesting that these two emotion-related variables play an important role in determining punitiveness. The implications of the study are discussed.

In our everyday lives, we are exposed to many stressors that induce mental stress, and consequently people may suffer mental illness, such as depression, bipolar mood disorders, and so on. Although there are many empirical studies showing that smelling an aroma or eating/drinking something is useful for easing mental stress, those studies did not use standardized methods for evaluating stress and/ or for easing stress. Preceding studies also used simple and boring tasks, such as the Kraepelin test requiring mental subtraction of a number sequence. In this study, a convenient task using SUDOKU puzzles for evoking mental stresses was introduced. Then, effective methods for easing stresses were investigated. This study revealed that the aromas of coffee and orange had a suppressive effect on stress, but the aromas of grapefruit and hinoki did not suppress mental stress. Also drinking canned coffee, bottled water, cola drink, or eating chocolate did not have a suppressive effect on mental stress. This study suggests that using coffee or orange aroma as an ambient odor suppresses mental stress.

This paper reviews the research trend of reappraisal and the issues it confronts, with emphasis on the subtypes of the strategy. First, the paper reviews the concept of reappraisal within Gross's process-model. Then, it presents the emotion regulation effects of reappraisal and its influences on psychological well-being. After that, the paper addresses the controversial points of the past research that treated reappraisal as a single strategy. In doing so, the need of the perspective from the subtypes of reappraisal is discussed, and some studies focusing on the subtypes of reappraisal will be reviewed. Finally, the paper concludes with some problems in the preceding studies of reappraisal and discussions on desirable direction for future research.

The purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of finitude salience and the meditational effect of uncovering the social values on the emotional responses of being moved. We tested the hypothesis that the narrative depiction of separation as finitude salience would result in readers uncovering the social values of the story, and increase their emotional responses of being moved. Participants read a novel whose theme was friendship with or without the depiction of separation. Then, all the participants rated the extent to which they were moved by the novel. As hypothesized, our results indicated that participants who read the novel that depicted separation were more strongly moved. In addition, mediational data demonstrated that the effect of the depiction of separation on being moved could be explained by the participants' uncovering of the social values of the story.

The present study examines whether the Name Letter Effect(NLE), one's preference for his/her initials, is observed in Korean people. One hundred and eighty-eight female university students in Korea participated in this study. Using the Name Letter Task (NLT), the NLE was observed in the Korean sample. It suggests that NLT is available in Korea to measure implicit self-esteem. For future directions, the possibility of intervention to improve implicit self-esteem was discussed.

This study assessed the instructions for the Autobiographical Memory Test (AMT) for an analog study. AMT is a representative task that measures autobiographical memory specificity. Many studies have suggested reduced autobiographical memory specificity in clinical depression patients with traditional instructions for AMT (Williams & Broadbent, 1986), which request that a patient precisely recall a particular event and place, but by this instruction, fewer studies have reported the reduced specificity for non-clinical dysphoria. Therefore, this study specified that a “specific episode is better, but in case of difficulty in recall, an ambiguous memory is permissible” (optional instructions) to assess overgeneral memory retrieval in a non-clinical sample. The results indicated that the dysphoric group displayed more reduced autobiographical memory specificity than the control group. Furthermore, rumination significantly negatively correlated with specific memory, but when depression partial out, the correlation was not significant. These findings suggest the effectiveness of optional instructions for AMT in detecting an overgeneral retrieval style, which is due to depressive mood rather than trait rumination, in a non-clinical sample.
