Handwriting samples of a given Japanese text were collected from female student participants (N=50). Affective impressions regarding the appearance of the handwriting samples were assessed using the Semantic Differential technique. A factor analysis revealed three dimensions of impressions about handwriting, which were semantically similar to the dimensions of person perception. Another panel of female students inferred the big-five personality traits of the writers from the handwriting samples. All inferred personality traits were moderately or strongly correlated with at least one dimension of the impressions about handwriting. However, there were no satistically significant correlations between the dimensions of impressions about the handwriting and the writer's actual personality traits as assessed by the Big-Five Scales. The process and the fallaciousness of naive graphological inferences are discussed.

Participants, (N=566; mean age 20.29 years; SD = 1.93) completed a questionnaire. Factor analysis of the responses identified the following four factors related to psychological changes associated with past experiences of romantic relationships: Self-expansion, Open-mindedness, Gender identity, and Confidence. Multiple linear regression analysis indicated: (1) "Independent love" induced positive psychological changes; (2) "Dependent love" promoted Self-expansion and Gender identity in men, and reduced Confidence in women; (3) lack of "reflection" promoted Confidence in men and reduced Confidence in women; and (4) "Avoidance" was an effective method of coping with the stress caused by romantic breakups by both men and women.

This fundamental study investigated if picture appreciation could be established as a form of psychotherapy by focusing on changes of feeling as an index of the mental effect of picture appreciation, in addition to the language description method, which is a form of picture appreciation therapy.

We conducted a scenario experiment to investigate the effects of both of self-presentation style and story-telling style about experiences of past failures, on the evaluations of job applicants. Participants (N = 95) read one of four types of application forms which were constructed by combining one of two stories with or without self-discovery through past failure, and one of two self-presentation styles: self-enhancing or self-effacing. Then, impressions about the applicant, such as intimacy, ability, sincerity, obedience, decency, and attractiveness as an in-group member were evaluated. The results indicated that self-enhancing presentations had a positive effect on evaluations of an applicant's ability, and a negative effect on evaluations of intimacy. Moreover, stories of self-discovery had a positive effect on attractiveness of the applicant as an in-group member. Furthermore, there was an interactive effect between the story-telling and self-presentation styles on evaluation of an applicant's decency. We have discussed the effects of self-effacing presentations on the new graduate job-hunting system in Japan.

Methods: 88 mothers of individuals with autism completed questionnaires on the feelings of mothers with handicapped children, social support, and they freely described the mother's stress and support needs. Results: Factor analysis revealed that mother's feelings consisted of four factors: Pessimistic Feelings, Positive Attitudes to Childcare, Self-Growth, and Inability to Accept Disability. Compared to mothers of children with autism with severe intellectual disabilities, those of children without intellectual disabilities had a significantly greater Inability to Accept Disability. Many mothers experienced the most stress during infancy, and stressors included the challenging behaviors of the child and the difficulty of childcare. Effective sources of support included other parents of children with autism, professionals, and the husband. Conclusion: Positive and negative feelings of mothers of children with autism were identified. Mothers experienced various types of stressors, and these stressors continued beyond adulthood.
