This study investigated the basis of a right-side dominance in aesthetic arrangement. In experiment 1, in order to examine the effect of attended position in pictures on aesthetic arrangement, we manipulated the positions of the fixation points, which attract observer's attention, and centroids of triangle arrangement for three objects. Participants rated preference, balance, beauty and harmony by the use of seven points scale for each of the pictures. We found that participants evaluated highly aesthetic in viewing the pictures whose arrangement centroids were near to the fixated position. In experiment 2, in order to examine the effect of participant's dominant hand on aesthetic arrangement we presented the objects which the participants are willing to manually manipulate, or the object which they should avoid to manually touch for right-handed or left-handed participants. We found that right-handed participants evaluated highly aesthetic in viewing the pictures whose arrangement centroid was at right side, but left-handed participant did not.

In product development, a method of cost cutting is required for manufacturing prototypes. Based on our recent research, we propose a low-cost prototyping system for subjective evaluation using a virtual environment. We call this method “Virtual prototyping using Kansei evaluation”. We determine the surface roughness and orientation, surface reflectance and transmission of surface-finished papers. Measured data are analyzed using directional statistics and subjective evaluation of surface-finished papers. As a result, we obtain the surface roughness and orientation, as well as the directional intensity of the surface-finished papers. We described the Kansei structures of subjective evaluation “thin”, “weighty”, “airy”, “hard”, and “tender” from kurtosis and luminance of surface reflections and transmissions. Using these techniques, it is possible to create surface appearances for virtual prototyping.

This study investigated how the several factors of BGM (Background music) affected the time estimation . We composed 28 original music tunes with different tempo and notes. Twenty undergraduates estimated one minute by the use of the method of production while listening to a BGM. Results showed that participants underestimated the duration while listening to a tune with a slow tempo, whereas they overestimated while listening to the tunes with fast tempo. The participants overestimated the duration with the increment of the number of the notes per unit time and variety of a note. In addition, the music experiences influenced the auditory time estimation.

In this study, we investigated the relation between autism spectrum tendencies of normal observers and evaluation of facial emotional expressions, used for “Ban Dainagon Emaki”. Recognition of facial expressions was verified by Scheffé’s (Nakaya) paired comparison method using the evaluation attributes of the four emotions (fear, anger, sadness, and happiness) in conjunction with investigation of the Autism-Spectrum Quotient (AQ). Different cognitive patterns especially extracted from communication ability, were confirmed, comparing facial expression recognition tendencies for the two groups, higher levels of autistic - like traits and lower levels of autistic - like traits. Between the two groups, the high levels on the AQ were difficult to recognize the fear of negative emotions, but regarding the happiness of positive emotion, similar tendency was demonstrated. These results are consistent with the findings obtained from previous studies on the tendency of facial expression recognition between healthy individuals and those with traits of ASD.

We produced the average face by combining forty-one facial images of female college students in order to investigate how the facial impression changes depending on distance between eyes and eyebrows. Furthermore, we produced ten experiment samples by shortening or widening distance between them of the average face in five steps respectively. These images were presented individually to ninety college students, and they were asked to evaluate them using twenty adjective pairs. Consequently, the average face received high evaluations about likability-related impressions, while the faces with shorter distance between eyes and eyebrow got high evaluations about activity-related impressions. Moreover, two principal component (“degree of refinement” and “femininity”) were extracted as a result of principal component analysis to evaluation scores. It was found that degree of refinement was likely to be affected by the perceived size of the eyes, and femininity was defined by distance between eyes and eyebrow.

By the development of the information-oriented society, it became very easy even for beginners to make collages out of photographs by means of computer software. In old days, those photograph collages could be simply distinguished from true photographs because the photograph collages was made by hand. However, it became very difficult to differentiate the true photograph from the photograph collage by digital Image processing. And then, that kind of collage has many problems concerning copyrights or social ethics etc. On the other hand, the photograph collages seem to be accepted as one of the art technique in the recent photograph world. We show three solutions. First, limit of the copyright use by having All rights reserved or not. Second, the detective technique of an unjust reproduction and modification develops. Third, media literacy education is strengthened.

This paper describes linguistic features of generally unreadable person names, which are defined as "<I>KIRAKIRA</I> names," and proposes a method to detect <I>KIRAKIRA</I> names based on the features. Through the discussions, the following eight features are founded as the linguistic features of <I>KIRAKIRA</I> names: 1) Too many Kanji characters, 2) Too many syllables, 3) Multiple usage of a common Kanji character, 4) Kanji variants are used, 5) The pronunciation of Kanji is generally unknown, 6) Too many stroke count for Kanji, 7) Mismatching of gender between a person and the name, and 8) The pronunciation of name equals an imported word. Based on the features, <I>KIRAKIRA</I> names are automatically detected by using Support Vector Machine. The experiments to detect <I>KIRAKIRA</I> names were conducted for 10,000 names. The results of the experiments showed 81.79% accuracy, 76.89% precision, and 91.84% recall.

Kimono is a traditional Japanese garment. Several types of dyeing artifices have evolved through the process of printing traditional patterns on cloth in Japan. Paper stencils can be considered merely tools used at an intermediary stage of the dyeing process. And yet another problem is that most stencil cutting craftsmen are getting older, and thus the traditional art of paper stencil cutting may be lost under present circumstances.In this study, we explored the possibility of replacing paper stencils produced by traditional techniques with those produced by a laser cutter. And we compared actually dyed textiles by using existing and new techniques, in an attempt to achieve a quality of paper stencils produced by a different method that is closer to the superb quality of traditional artifices. As a result, we were able to suggest the guidelines on materials and patterns suitable for producing the stencils with a laser cutter.

We have found that various cognitive biases would interfere with evacuation behavior during a disaster, and this have caused many casualties. In this study, we focused on the conformity bias, one of the cognitive biases, which is introduced by evacuation order sentences with information about other residences’ behavior, to facilitate evacuation behavior. In the experiment, we presented the evacuation order sentences, and pictures which depict the scene of disaster, or normal situation. Participants evaluated the degree of risk for the picture, and degree of necessity of evacuation from the scene. Our results demonstrated that the conformity bias would facilitate evacuation especially for the low-risk situation. In addition, we found that judgments of the need for evacuation can be predicted by the rating of the degree of danger, disaster experience, sense of crisis about disasters, and the other-personality-orientations of the participants.

Faces with larger eyes and double eyelids are perceived as more attractive than those devoid of these features. Moreover, eye bag makeup has become fashionable among nonprofessional lay young females to enhance the perceived size of their eyes. The majority of research on the influence of the upper eyelids on facial attractiveness has been conducted using artificially generated faces; however, research on facial attractiveness forming eye bag makeup remains unexplored. This study investigated the physical and mental attractiveness of real female faces with single/double eyelids and with/without eye bag makeup. The results indicated that faces with double eyelids were rated as more attractive than those with single eyelids. Faces with eye bag makeup were generally perceived as less attractive than those without them. While this was the case regardless of the type of eyelids for mental attractiveness, eye bag makeup only impacted the faces with double eyelids for physical attractiveness.

This study analyzes the factors for detecting agents to implement a human-like agent in werewolf games, which are new themes in game studies of artificial intelligence. A comparative experiment was conducted to reveal the influences regarding the degree of disclosure of the agent existence; seven players and an agent participated in four games. Communication logs were collected from the game logs. Impressions for each player was reported in questionnaires with five-point scales and detection of the agent were reported in a free writing. Although the most players, who did not know that an agent played the games, did not be aware of the true character of the agent, the most players who knew the existence could detect the agent. The statements of detected agents differed from them of other players. This study concludes that the technical requirement for agents is to adapt to statements of other players.

This paper reports on the results of a literature review and text-mining analysis conducted to understand how the kawaii emotion had been expressed in Japanese. The Japanese term kawaii can be translated to English as lovable, cute, pretty, and sweet comprehensively. In Japanese, the kawaii emotion had long been expressed using different words, many of which have multiple other meanings. In addition, some words that had been used to express the kawaii emotion took on new meanings. The words that had been exclusively used to refer to the kawaii emotion are megushi, utsukushi, rotashi, kahayushi, and shiorashi. In modern Japanese, nuances such as ‘sweet’ and ‘pitiful’ were removed from the concept of kawaii whereas others such as ‘smiling’ were added.

Classification of fragrances has not accepted widely, because the range of stimuli was very wide and words of evaluation were a little. This study picked up essential oils, and selected words from prior questionnaire. Purpose of this study was to classify fragrances by psychological method. This study consisted of 2 experiments, A and B. The same materials and procedures were used in both experiments. Subjects were asked to evaluate fragrances by SD(semantic differential) method. In experiment A, a total of 220 subjects were joined and 15 pair words were used. In experiment B, 75 subjects were joined and 18 pair words were used. Cluster analysis and Factor analysis were used for analyzing the data. As a result, in both experiments, 11 clusters and 3 factors were observed, and clusters of citrus fragrances were showed. The factor of “Pleasantness” was showed in the first factor. This factor was common both experiments.

In recent years, the communication technique known as coaching is getting a lot of attention, and beginning to be implemented in various fields. However, the psychological effect of coaching on healthy individuals remains unclear. In order to rectify this, we have conducted a coaching observation study, and implemented psychological testing to determine its effects in this area. Also, building on the precedent set by other studies, we have carried out analysis of the content of conversation during coaching. The results show a statistical relation between conversation content and the psychological effects of coaching.

A person who is struck by deep grief due to the loss of, or unwanted separation from, his/her family, spouse or the one he/she loves is believed to take a long and gradual recovery process from the state of severe mental suffering. This study conducted interviews on ten people who went through such experience to find out how their painful loss or separation took place, their psychological states, their actions in the process of recovery afterwards, the psychological change brought about by such actions, etc. The result found that the activities recognized by the sufferers as effective in facilitating the recovery process included “creative activities, such as painting, crafting, writing, etc.” along with “social activities, such as works and volunteering”, “communications with close friends and relatives”, etc. The creative activities referred here are voluntary ones and exclude “art therapy” implemented as a part of psychotherapy.

This study reports the results of a subject investigation that was conducted on the cause and effect of the phenomenon known as “kawaii.” To experience that something is “kawaii” is a psychological phenomenon; however, it has not been clarified what type of causes lead to this type of effect. Due to the existence of several opinions regarding what comprises “kawaii,” it is difficult to entirely clarify the topic. Three group interviews were conducted with a total of 30 subjects. The laddering method devised by D. Hinkle was used as the question form, and 15 stimuli were used for the investigation. The causes were classified into “shape,” “behavior or expression,” and “personality ”; the effects were classified into 20 social needs and 16 emotional categories. Regarding the effects of “kawaii,” “happiness” was considerably selected followed by “affiliation” and “nurturance.” Moreover, the relationship between the causes and the effects was further understood.

Previous studies have shown that behavioral synchronization with others positively affects various psychological and behavioral variables. However, no consistent view has been given on the effects of synchronization, as different researchers tend to use different indicators. In light of this, the purpose of this study was to comprehensively examine the effects of synchronization by using multiple psychological and behavioral indicators that have been shown to be associated with synchronization, as dependent variables. We set up conditions in which the upper arm motion was synchronous and asynchronous between two participants who maintained a controlled gaze. The results showed that synchronization of behavior with others was not an effect and not a mediated effect by psycho-logical variables; however, it had a direct effect on behavioral indicators. Specifically, compared with the asynchronous condition, the synchronous condition resulted in closer interpersonal distance between participants and greater cooperation with others in the prisoner’s dilemma game.

In this thesis, the relationship between sound and colour has been analysed with two different methods. First, colours are applied to sounds using the psychological technique that is based on a study on synaesthesia. In the second approach, the ideal tones are linked to hues that are referring to adjectives. However, both methods have their disadvantages. This study investigates the relationship between timbres and colours with quantitative data from tonal structures.In the first step, the relationship between timbres and colours is aggregated by conducting an experiment with subjects. The results are compared with the quantitative structure of the tone colours. From the result, four basic laws that define the causal relationship between timbre and cool or warm colours have been defined: overtone, fundamental frequency, length of sound and decay of sound.

This paper describes the trends in the phonemes used in naming by using the attributes of objects. The study used the names of characters in video games and automobiles as the targets of analysis. Through categorizing the objects based on their attributes, the study sought to verify if there existed a difference in the used phonemes between the categories. Resultantly, the study has clarified the phonemes used to illustrate the smallness, lightness, and weakness in addition to the phonemes used to depict the largeness, heaviness, and strength between two objects. In addition, the study had also employed evaluation experiments to verify the trends in the phonemes used in naming, which was derived from the analyses of the objects’ attributes, and to verify whether the phonemes used in the naming process matched with the people’s impressions. Throughout this process, the study has found the objects’ specific naming trends and the characteristics of the phonemes. By conducting the same analysis process for many objects, the study hopes to propose a supporting method for the naming process of specific objects.

Many people have experienced that even long after their graduation, their school songs can still evoke nostalgia of their old school days. In this study, we proposed a psychological model of the generation mechanism underlying the school-song-evoked nostalgic feelings. Firstly, we extracted the terms characteristic of school songs from the lyrics of 156 Japanese school songs. Then, we investigated how the number of years that had elapsed since graduation influenced the degrees of school-song-evoked nostalgic feelings through questionnaires. Finally, we conducted an experiment in which the participants were asked to rate the “school-songness” of the lyrics of four existing school songs as well as an “average school song” which we made using the terms extracted at the first stage of the study. The results show that the “average school song” ranks highest, which implies the properness of our model.
