Changing self-efficacy is important for clinical support. Nonetheless, the past studies on self-efficacy do not explain (1) taking actions with low self-efficacy, (2) process of self-efficacy promotion, or (3) process of self-efficacy declination. To solve these issues, we proposed "Perspective Self-efficacy", which includes ambiguous expectations that the future self can be positively changed. Perspective self-efficacy refers to ambiguous feelings that the self, as future prospects, can affect and control others and situations, detaching from the current self. By viewing the present self from future-perspective self, perspective self-efficacy makes it possible to take different actions from what is motivated only by the present situations. Also, being detached from the present self, can perspective self efficacy facilitate taking actions and positive operations of information resources, even when self-efficacy is currently low. Thus, perspective self-efficacy can explain the change of self-efficacy, and be useful for clinical support.

This article proposed a psychological mechanism for improving future work motivation by reflecting on past experiences. Previous studies have claimed that future motivation is maintained by present self-affirmation and a future ideal, and have overlooked the effect of reflecting on past experiences. Rather, it has been claimed that reflecting on past experiences leads to overconfidence or anxiety, and impairs future motivation. In contrast, this article points out that people can maintain motivation through (1) imagining clearly their future ideal selves (setting goals), (2) reflecting on past experiences related to the ideal, and (3) acquiring lessons from the past. In a review of previous studies, we examined the process of reflecting on past experiences to improve future motivation. We showed that people with a clear ideal (goal) reflected on past experiences related to that ideal, and acquired lessons and mental rewards from the past, thus improving their motivation. A new mechanism for maintaining work motivation by reflecting on past experiences was presented, taking into consideration acquired lessons and mental rewards.

The present article reviews borderline personality traits in a non-clinical population. Studies conducted in Japan on this topic have drawn their samples from either subclinical populations or adolescents known to be mentally unstable. Adolescents with a high level of borderline personality traits have many difficulties in interpersonal relations as well as family conditions. Many studies from other countries have examined borderline personality traits in non-clinical populations. These studies have revealed the following: (1) Borderline personality traits have some clinical features. (2) Individual with borderline personality traits typically lack skills in managing and understanding emotions. (3) Significant multivariate predictors and risk factors of borderline personality traits exist. (4) Borderline personality traits predict negative outcomes in academic and occupational achievement. This paper reveals that future studies are needed to better understand the etiology, development, and course of borderline personality traits, and shows how longitudinal research and case studies can support existing findings.

The purpose of this study is to consider the significance of dealing with "sexual attitudes" in clinical psychology by reviewing previous study. First, the definition and concepts were clarified. "Sexuality" consists of seven components. Second, the previous studies in medical science, education, and psychology were reviewed. Medical science suggests as the factors of the sexual dysfunction the sense of negative sexual attitudes to sexuality and the difficulty in getting an interpersonal relationships. Further, education made us realize that how we are dealing with the topic of sexuality is important, and psychology made a point about sexual attitudes in particularly the whole tendency. On the basis of the review, this study suggests that self-direction toward sexual attitudes is important. In addition, how clinical psychology deals with sexual attitudes is considered. The study discusses that the approach to deal with negative sexual attitudes and how a person develops sexual attitudes.
