This study had two purposes; first, to reconstruct existing models of the mediating mechanisms of embarrassment, and second, to examine the mechanisms underlying the 6 groups of emotions that comprise embarrassment. Two hundred and eighty-eight university students were presented with "Public" or "Private" embarrassing situations, and were asked to rate 18 items related to the 6 elements representing the existing models, and 23 items measuring the 6 groups of emotions of embarrassment. Both explanatory and confirmatory factor analyses revealed that the existing models could be integrated into 4 causal factors. Covariance structure analysis was then conducted to examine the relationship of these 4 factors with each group of emotions. In the Public situations, 3 causal factors affected each group of emotions, although the nature of the effect varied between groups. In the Private situations, none of the groups were affected by "Apprehension of Social Evaluation" and "Disruption of Social Interaction." These results were discussed in relation to the groups of emotions of embarrassment in public and private situations.

The purpose of this study was to search for the factors that contributed to the understanding of the emotions expressed by figurative language. In the preliminary study, 74 similes that express joy, sadness, and anger were selected. Eighty-four subjects rated 74 similes on SD scales. Factor analysis was conducted on the data. Throughout the factor analysis, two factors emerged. These two factors were interpreted as "activity" factor and "evaluation" factor. The distributions of similes in the three emotions were relatively different in the two-dimensional factorial space, namely the affective meaning space. Throughout the discriminant analysis, "activity" and "evaluation" factors contributed to the understanding of the emotions expressed by the similes.These findings indicated that understanding of the emotions expressed by the similes was based on those two foctors.

The purposes of this study were to develop the Japanese-version Affective Control Scale (JACS) and to investigate the relationship between fear of emotions and stress responses. In study I, we had 517 undergraduates completed the JACS. Results indicated the JACS had high internal consistency. Also, the subscales of the JACS were substantially intercorrelated. In study II, we had 348 undergraduates completed the questionnaire that assessed fear of emotions, neuroticism, trait meta-mood, and avoidance of negative emotions. Construct validities of the JACS were confirmed based on the correlations of these variables. In Study III, we had 140 undergraduates completed the questionnaire that assessed fear of emotions, coping strategies, and stress responses. As a result, fear of emotions was positively correlated with avoidance and stress responses. Theses results indicate that fear of emotions seem to be the factor linking coping strategies and stress responses. The theoretical and clinical implications of these results were discussed.

Human communication of emotions is achieved through both facial and vocal information. The purpose of this study is to investigate the dominant sensory modality in recognition of emotions to the multi-modal expression. In Experiment 1, expressions of happiness, surprise, sadness, or aversion was presented vocally, facially, or in both modalities through the expression of an interjectory word "eh". Participants were required to judge the emotion that was expressed. In Experiment 2, recognition of conflicted emotions between modalities was investigated by combining different emotions between facial and vocal expression. Results of the two experiments indicated that the observers predominantly recognized happiness and surprise that was expressed facially rather than vocally. Furthermore, the expression of happiness was often mistaken as surprise, and the expression of sadness was often mistaken as aversion. Importantly, however, the reverse of these mistakes was little observed. Such the asymmetries of confusion were consistently obtained in every modality including bimodal presentations. This evidence is suggestive that an amodal processing system exists in multi-modal recognition of emotions.

In everyday life, we communicate each other not only with verbal cue but also nonverbal information of multi-modality such as facial and vocal expression. But, it has not been studied enough how we combine those nonverbal information.<BR>So, we investigated the mutual regulation rule between facial and vocal emotional expression. Any of seven kinds of emotional expressions (happiness, neutral, surprise, sadness, fear, disgust and anger) were presented to the subjects visually and vocally at the same time by still figure with facial expression and by his or her voice tone of short message. They judged the stimulus person's emotion by using both information.<BR>In the condition that visual and audio emotion were the same, we found that correction rate of judgements was high (87.63%), response time was short (4.20sec) and confidence level was high (4.35/5.0) compare with incongruent condition in which visual and audio emotions were different. As to the incongruent condition, we had two main results: (1) Basically, visual information was more dominant than visual information except disgust. (2) Many fused responses were also found, which mean the person's emotion was interpreted as the third one different from visual and audio emotion. Fused responses of "disgust" appeared most frequently. We considered it as the following: when two kinds of conflict unpleasant emotions were expressed simultaneously, we may interpret the true emotion with the bias toward "disgust" to make the accounts balance because disgust is rather ambiguous displeasure emotion..

It has been suggested that emotional states modulate the breadth of attentional focus. However, it remains unclear whether this effect occurs from the beginning of the sensory input stage or at later stages of processing. In the present study, we recorded event-related potentials (ERPs) in a spatial selective attention task to examine the breadth of spatial attention at early visual processing stages. Twelve university students participated in the experiment. After viewing negative, neutral, and positive affective pictures, participants directed their attention to the left or right visual field and performed a target detection task. The occipitotemporal P1 (80–130 ms) elicited by standard stimuli was more positive over the hemisphere contralateral to the attended visual hemifield. This contralateral preponderance effect has been assumed to reflect the attentional gain control mechanism in the visual cortices. Although affective pictures induced significant changes in subjective emotional states, they did not modulate the P1 attention effect. The result does not support the hypothesis that emotional states modulate the breadth of attentional focus at early visual processing stages. Based on this and previous findings, we discuss that the emotional influence on the breadth of attentional focus may occur at later stages of processing.

The study of using strengths seems hampered by the lack of a validated measure in Japan. This study aimed to develop and validate Japanese version of Strength Use Scale (SUS: Govindji & Linley, 2007). Participants were 429 Japanese university students. The exploratory factor analysis showed one factor structure. SUS had adequate internal consistency and high test-retest reliability. The measure is associated with subjective well-being, self-esteem, characteristic self-efficacy, and feeling of depression. Japanese version of SUS showed an adequate reliability and validity, and may be considered as a promising tool for future research and practice of strengths in Japan.

Individuals with autism spectrum disorder have difficulties recognizing emotional information, especially from facial expressions. The present study investigated facial expression recognition ability among 17 children with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder and 26 typically developing children. Three facial expression tasks were used: the Eyes Task, the Morphed Faces Task, and the Movie Stills Task with and without faces. Children were asked to adapt emotional words for stimuli (eye stimuli and emotional scenes) or rate emotional intensity from facial expressions. Results showed that children with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder had difficulties perceiving subtle fear, complex emotions, and using contextual information appropriately in the absence of faces. These findings suggest that difficulty in recognizing emotional information from not only facial expressions but also contextual cues could provide a basis for understanding to social deficits among children with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder.

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.

This study developed the Alexithymia Scale for Adolescents (ASA), based on previous studies, and aimed to clarify the effects of grade and gender on alexithymic tendencies during junior high school (aged 12–15 years). The results of confirmatory factor analysis and the Cronbach's <i>alpha</i> coefficients for the subscales revealed that the model with the following three original factors showed the best fit: difficulty identifying feelings (DIF), difficulty describing feelings (DDF), and externally-oriented thinking (EOT). Analysis of ASA data for 1 241 junior high school students (647 boys and 594 girls)revealed the following: 1) The mean ASA score was relatively high (<i>M</i>=53.92, <i>SD</i>=9.60) in comparison with previous adult studies. 2) The overall effect of grade was significant(<i>p</i><.05). 3) First-grade students scored lower than did second-(<i>d</i>=.19) and third-(<i>d</i>=.16)grade students. 4) Girls had significantly higher DIF scores than did boys (<i>p</i><.01, <i>d</i>=.24). These results imply that Japanese junior high school students experience difficulty with emotion regulation in daily life.

The current study investigated the effects of gambling-irrelevant positive emotions and gambling-irrelevant perceived luck on gambling behavior. Participants performed a Game of Dice Task(GDT) comprising 18 trials. Their emotional states and perceived luck in relation to the game were assessed before the first trial and, subsequently, after every trial. In an effort to trigger their emotions, participants were shown film clips before performing the GDT; perceived luck was induced through "lucky" draws for which, unbeknown to the participants, the results were controlled. The results indicated that participants among whom positive emotions and perceived luck were induced, gambled more recklessly after winning consistently, rather than losing. Further, after initially gambling with seemingly even chances of winning, participants gambled less recklessly, despite their induction with both positive emotions and perceived good luck. However, after reckless gambling, positive emotions and perceived good luck had no significant effect on subsequent gambling behavior.

Previous studies have indicated that rumination is related to the difficulties in controlling interference during updating working memory. The current study examined the relationships between interferences during working memory updating, depressive rumination, and depressive symptoms by using the 2-back paradigm. The 2-back paradigm included two forms of interferences, <i>n</i>+1 lure in which a 3-back item corresponded to the currently presented item instead of the 2-back item and a <i>n</i>-1 lure in which a 1-back item corresponded to the currently presented item instead of the 2-back item. The result indicated that the high brooding group with high scores on the brooding subscale of the Ruminative Responses Scale showed greater interference scores in response to the <i>n</i>+1 lure than low brooders, which was not the case in response to the <i>n</i>-1 lure. These findings indicate that high brooders have difficulties in removing relevant representations that are no longer needed from working memory. This finding expands those of previous studies and also extends our understanding of the mechanisms of ruminations.

Mindfulness is currently attracting a great deal of attention as a psychotherapeutic technique, which originated from Eastern meditation practices. It is defined as "paying attention in a particular way: on purpose, in the present moment, and nonjudgmentally" (Kabat-Zinn, 1994). This article reviews neuroscience studies of mindfulness, and genetic contributions to individual differences on the effect of the mindfulness intervention. Finally, we will discuss differences and similarities in neurobiological bases of emotion regulation between Eastern and Western people.
