To investigate the development of olfactory preferences, a forced-choice procedure embedded in a simple task was used to 2-year-olds' (n=29) hedonic responses to two odors with those of 9 to 12-years-olds' (n=56) and those of adults' (n=29). Verbal communication abilities of 2-year-old children are immature, so to test their preferences for odors is complicated. To overcome this challenge, two physically similar boxes were prepared. f3-phenylethyl alcohol (a rose-like odor) was filled in one box and skatole was placed in the other. Infants watched an animation video in one box and the same video in the other box, and then they were asked in which box they preferred to watch the video again. The 9 to 12-years-old group and the adult group expressed a preference for the box with a rose-like odor. However, the infant group showed no preference between the rose-like odor box and the skatole odor box.

Impulsivity is a multidimensional personality trait and a common symptom of various mental disorders. In this paper, we review multiple perspectives such as behavioral studies, neuroimaging studies, and genetic association studies about response inhibition, which is one aspect of impulsivity. In various studies, the stop-signal paradigm (SSP) has been used to investigate inhibitory mechanisms. In our study, first, the procedure and theory of SSP are introduced. Second, the neural mechanism during response inhibition is ascertained using functional neuroimaging machinery. In particular, the activation of the right ventro-lateral prefrontal cortex associated with the success in response inhibition is examined. A number of genetic association studies showed that specific gene phenotypes affect the accuracy of response inhibition. Thus, understanding the mechanism of response inhibition is linked to the fundamental resolution of impulsive control disorders or personality disorders.

When wearing facial makeup to look attractive, one may want to consider the following: 1) what are the components of attractiveness that should be enhanced and 2) how are they enhanced? To examine the first issue, a web survey was conducted to investigate the image of attractive women that Japanese women have in their mind, and the facial features that are associated with the image. Results showed that apart from physical appearance, the attractiveness associated with inner beauty also plays an important role in determining the image of attractive women. With regard to facial features, items related to facial expression were rated as more important than those related to other features such as configuration, skin texture and shape and size of features. Furthermore, the priority of the facial features they see when perceiving women’s attractiveness differs among respondents. To explore the second issue, we interviewed artists to gain insights about how inner beauty and other abstract concepts can be expressed through the face. This paper summarizes the findings obtained from these studies and suggests the possibility of an integrated contribution by art and psychology in embodying and understanding abstract concepts.

This study investigated expressive writing, methods of providing effective psychological support. People can promote self-efficacy in controlling their emotions and emotional quotient by writing down emotions and thoughts about stressful experiences. I investigated which factors influenced people’s willingness to engage in expressive writing—that is, how much people want to use or explore the benefits of expressive writing. A group-style questionnaire was administered on 361 undergraduate students. Results suggested that sensitivity to confront certain facts of their own experience, one of the subscales of the questionnaire, was related to willingness to engage in expressive writing. A t-test revealed that willingness to engage in expressive writing for the high-sensitivity group was lower than for the low-sensitivity group. A covariance structure analysis revealed that sensitivity had a negative impact, and positive thoughts and attitudes about expressive writing had a positive impact on willingness to engage in it. In conclusion, future studies should examine ways to decrease the negative impact of sensitivity to confront facts on willingness to engage in expressive writing. For example, one way might be to write only positive emotions and thoughts.

Involuntary autobiographical memories are memories of personal experiences that occur without a conscious attempt at their retrieval. Such memories are known to occur as recurrent involuntary memories; in other words, recurrent involuntary autobiographical memories are memories that people subjectively experience repetitively. These studies aim to clarify the emotional features and functions of recurrent involuntary memories in non-clinical populations. In Study 1, 170 undergraduates were asked to recall one recurrent involuntary memory from their everyday life. In Study 2, 99 undergraduates were asked to recall one positive and one negative recurrent involuntary memory. In Study 3, 202 undergraduates were asked to recall three recurrent involuntary memories. The relationship between emotional valence and the three functions (self, social, and directive) of autobiographical memory was analyzed. The results indicated that the recurrent involuntary memories were dominated by negative emotions and functioned mainly as a guide to the present and future behavior.

In this study, we developed two types of behavioral interventions for discouraging smartphone use during walking based on nudge theory and tested their effectiveness in a real-life setting. One nudge was based on the idea of social learning. Pedestrians were presented with short animations through a digital signage reminder about children learning and imitating behaviors by watching adults. The other focused on behavioral fun. Pedestrians were challenged to do “beauty walking” in the walkway and then were shown a feedback animation. If they did not use their smartphone while walking, the animation displayed a fashion model character doing a good runway walk. If they used their smartphone, a bad runway walk animation was shown. As a result, both types of nudges discouraged pedestrians from keeping their smartphones. The latter fun nudge could also encourage them to continue not using their smartphones. Further, those interviewed reacted positively to these nudges. These findings are discussed in the light of prevailing practices for preventing texting while walking using appeals to fear and anxiety.

Zero-sum belief is the belief that someone’s gains are another’s losses. Assuming that beneficiaries’ zero-sum beliefs let them perceive benefactors’ cost resulting from giving benefits, this study examined whether the zero-sum belief increases the occurrences of grateful feelings and expression in apologetic form, which is represented by “sumimasen” in Japanese. We manipulated participants’ zero-sum beliefs and rewarded them for the task. Thereafter, we asked participants what they wanted to say, how they felt, and how much they perceived our (i.e., benefactors’) cost. The results revealed that participants whose zero-sum beliefs were experimentally strengthened were inclined to select the grateful expression in apologetic form from some options to convey what they wanted to say, though grateful feelings in apologetic form and perceived costs were not significantly affected. These results suggested the possibility that individuals’ zero-sum beliefs let them express their gratitude in apologetic form independently from the extent to which they have such feelings or perceive benefactors’ cost.

This study aimed to examine the potential associations between rolefulness and hardiness among high school students. We hypothesized that rolefulness would positively predict hardiness. The present study utilized data from assessments completed by 301 students (51% girls) in three waves over three years. Cross-lagged panel analysis indicated a significant relationship between rolefulness and hardiness. Specifically, social rolefulness at Time 1 influenced control at Time 2, and control at Time 2 predicted challenge at Time 3. Control at Time 1 influenced rolefulness at Time 2, and rolefulness at Time 2 predicted hardiness at Time 3.
