In this paper, we conduct a questionnaire survey on the web, and investigate how the impressions people feel from viewing stimulus images change by combination of fonts and background colors constituting the images. For the background colors, we adopt a total of six primary colors; three primary colors of light consisting of red, green and blue, and three primary colors of paint consisting of cyan, magenta and yellow. For the fonts, we adopt Gothic and Mincho types, and use non-bold and bold faces in each type. As impression scales used for rating impressions from stimulus images, we use not only “Legibility” and “Readability” conventionally used but also “Destruction,” “Passion,” “Nature,” “Peace,” “Honesty,” “Calmness,” “Freshness,” “Coolness,” “Sexy,” “Love,” “Curiosity,” and “Happiness,” which were selected from words representing impressions of the six primary colors.

It has often been pointed out that each color has a particular impression and that there are certain similarities and individual differences in the relationships between a color and its impression. We now present a few examples of individual studies that have focused on color impression. In this paper, in order to examine the individual characteristics of color impressions, we propose a method that combines GA, PCA, and CA. GA is used to select suitable parameters from color attributes -namely, RGB, HSI, and L*a*b*. PCA is used to extract characteristics data from the selected parameters. Furthermore, CA is used to classify the data set into groups. In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of this proposed method, computer simulations are performed and the results are analyzed using data gathered from 6 individuals. As a result, characteristics data that were obtained by using GA differed for each subjects. Moreover, classification accuracy, which is the ratio classified same impression data into same groups, was more than 80% for all subjects. It is considered that the proposed method could be one of the effective methods for analyzing individual characteristics of color impression.

Kawaii describes Japanese culture and is used all over the world to express emotional feeling. This study hypothesized that kawaii feelings can be classified as excited and relaxed responses when watching photographs. Heart rate measurements were performed for subjects viewing exciting kawaii, relaxing kawaii, and uninteresting photographs. Statistical tests were conducted to relate heartbeat modulations and photograph conditions. Exciting kawaii photographs enhanced heart rates, while their relaxing counterparts did not increase heart rates to the same levels, validating the initial hypothesis.

In order to discuss the risk involved in purchasing products that cannot be tried when shopping online, this study investigated the difference in tactual sensations between fabrics and pictures, with a precondition that participants should not touch them. Sixteen participants were presented with 24 different textures (4 cm × 4 cm, 12 fabrics, 12 pictures) and were evaluated for tactual sensation. The result shows that two factors, “material sense” and “touch sense” could be extracted from the tactual sensation values. By interchanging the pictures and fabrics, much of the detailed information of the two factors was lost. The results also showed that fabric colors had psychological effects, which had a high possibility of giving a false impression to consumers. Therefore, if the psychological effect of colors giving a misleading impression is taken into considerations, it can be expected to mitigate the consumers' risk.

We aimed to reveal typical-color effects to visual search for pictogram. We assumed that the typical colors shorten the response time of the visual search compared to the non-typical colors in the high color-associativity pictograms. In order to verify this hypothesis, we investigated typical colors and color- associativity of each pictogram in the first experiment and measured the response time of the visual search tasks. We analyzed the data through the color- associativity and the complexity of components perspective. As a result, we obtained the two conclusions as follow; 1) typical colors do not always affect response times, 2) response time is shortened in the typical colors pictograms that have the high color-associativity and consist of only one component. These results contribute to proposing the color design which permits efficiency in searching for pictograms in the facilities.

The purpose of this paper is to consider the Kansei (sensibility) of the architect Le Corbusier (1887-1965), concerning the process of change of the architectural concept on ‘Window’ from the viewpoint of Kansei-philosophy. Through the analysis of the architectural works, the author pointed out to Le Corbusier's 9 types of windows, ‘fenêtre en longueur (strip window)’, ‘pan de verre (glass wall)’, ‘pan de verre irrégulière (irregular glass wall)’, ‘pan de verre ondulatoire (wave glass wall)’, ‘aérateur (ventilator)’, ‘fenêtre (conventional window)’, ‘briques de verre (glass block)’, ‘claustras’ and ‘canon (gun)’. Through the analysis of the design process, the author concluded that Le Corbusier purified the physiological and multiple functions of the window by adapting each type of window.

This study aimed to identify the psychological variables that can mediate an influence of color focality on color preference in modern Japanese culture and to specify the pattern of the mediated influence. The potential mediators were 22 appraisal dimensions and the psychological processing fluency (PPF) of colors. We conducted two experiments with native Japanese speakers, which measured these variables. Data analyses showed that gracefulness is the only appraisal dimension that can mediate an effect of color focality on color preference. Specifically, focality negatively influenced the appraisal of gracefulness and gracefulness positively impacted preference. Although a U-shaped quadratic relationship exists between focality and PPF, no relationship was found between PPF and preference. Therefore, PPF’s role as a mediator is not supported. Our literature survey suggests that the focality-gracefulness-preference relationship may be caused by the “noisy color phenomenon,” which is a cultural phenomenon existing in many color-using areas in modern Japan.

In this paper, the classification model of subjective affective value, its measurement, and the quantitative-analysis method were proposed first. Next, based on the proposal method, the value measurement experiment including the intuitive and unconscious decision-making phenomenon of the real world was conducted, and also separation and extraction of the affective value, and presumption of the value structure which became a decision-making standard by the analysis and evaluation of the degree of incidence especially were tried. As mentioned above, the validity of the proposal method was examined. As a result, it came to prove the validity of the proposal method.

The idea of ecosystem services has been highlighted in order to identify a variety of benefits that human beings obtain from other life forms and to raise people's interest in conserving biodiversity. This idea helps us recognize the connection between our lives and environments and more actively participate in ecological activities. While this sort of instrumental approach to the conservation of biodiversity is particularly important for the growth of public participation, it also limits our understanding of its purposes. This paper, on the basis of field research conducted in Sado, Niigata, illustrates complex value issues involved in conserving biodiversity and discusses the importance of our kansei to uncover various values of the surroundings. As an approach for enhancing such kansei, the authors argue that multi-generational dialogue contributes to sharing different views of the participants and thereby cultivating a comprehensive perspective in environmental decision-processes.

This paper discusses the changes of magazines which women read according to the age using figures of the network, which we got from the answers to questionnaire of women's junior college students. The link of the network expresses frequent combinations of magazines read in the same period or frequent changes of magazines which women read. This paper covers fashion magazines, comic magazines and animation magazines. At first, it is found that the combination of magazines with a similar property are read in the same period. Next, changes of magazines which women read is clarified. 51.22%, 28.66%, and 19.51% of the college students read “Chao,” “Ribon,” and “Nakayoshi” in their childhood, respectively. Readers of “Chao” and those of “Ribbon” come to read fashion magazines or boys' comics for teenagers, and then street fashion or girly fashion magazines. “Nakayoshi” readers, however, tend to continue reading comic magazines sequentially.

We investigated the RGB and XYZ components of the natural colors (two cherry blossoms, i.e., Someiyoshino and Youkou, and the emission of Heike-firefly), and the physiological effects on Japanese and foreign people were compared. The natural colors were digitally measured as RGB colors, and then they were used as color stimuli. The psychological effects were investigated by administering a questionnaire, which was based on the Semantic differential (SD) method. From the results of the questionnaire, the degrees of expression for the natural colors were quite different between Japanese and foreigners. The kansei on the natural colors between Japanese and foreigners were also different in terms of psychophysical quantity and physical cognition. The results of factor analysis showed that the color of Youkou gave pleasantness to Japanese people, whereas the colors of Someiyoshino and firefly gave pleasantness to foreign people.

This study is designed to obtain primary knowledge relevant to impressions on figures, and clarify the effects of color, shape, and location on the impressions on figures by psychology experimentation. A measurement is conducted using the combinations of 3 types of shape, 4 types of color, and 5 types of location. The experimental results show that the most dominant factor that affects the visual impression is the location of a figure, and suggest that the central location is considered well-balanced and favorable. Then, the color is the second most influential factor in the visual impression, and “yellow” yields impressions of gaiety and cuteness, however, “blue” to the contrary yields impressions of gloom and no cuteness. Additionally, the results suggest that the shape is the least influential factor in the visual impression and almost neither types of shape used in this experiment are nice-looking nor cute and have any specific features.

The present paper proposes a real-time rendering method based on object surface properties and multi-spectral reflection model. An RGB image is device-dependent and valid for only the fixed conditions of illumination and viewing. On the other hand, spectral reflectance information of an object surface is more useful than RGB information because we can create realistic images of the object under arbitrary illumination and viewing conditions. Firstly, we develop a 3D reflection model based on Nayer model, Torrance-Sparrow model, Fresnel model and multi-spectral information for precise description of object surface reflectance. Secondly, we develop a rendering algorithm of the object under ambient light source distribution. And also, we implement the reflection model to Graphics Processing Unit(GPU) for improving rendering performance. Finally, we render some objects by using multi-spectral reflection model. The overall feasibility of our method is confirmed based on computer graphics images created by using the estimated parameters.

In this paper, we carried out a subjective evaluation on the perceptual difference in female speech to show the gender difference in its likability and analyzed a relationship between the acoustic features and subjective scores. This subjective evaluation used female speech uttered by 21 speakers as the stimuli, and 127 subjects (47 males and 80 females) attended it. The results suggested that there was the speech preferred without the gender difference and preferred by one gender. We then analyzed the correlation between subjective scores and five acoustic features: fundamental frequency, formant frequency, amplitude difference, spectral centroid and spectral tilt. In female subjects, statistically significant correlations were observed in all features. In male subjects, significant correlation was observed only in spectral tilt. In particular, correlation in spectral tilt showed the inverse trend between male and female subjects. These results suggest that the spectral tilt is effective in the gender difference.

When infants are in their crawling stage, both mothers and infants experience difficulties while changing diapers. We evaluated the effects of pull-up type diaper on physical and psychological burden in comparison to the nappy-type diaper. Twenty-four mother-infant dyads participated in this study. According to the behavioral observation analysis, negative behaviors of mothers and infants while changing pull-up type diapers were significantly lesser than while changing the nappy-type. Pull-up type diapers took mothers 30% lesser time to change, while allowing infants more physical movements than the nappy-type. A spectral analysis of infants' heart rate variability showed that low-high frequency ratio and the change in normalized unit percentage (Nu%) were significantly lower when pull-up type diapers were changed. Negative emotion-related behaviors of both mothers and infants significantly correlated with change in Nu% of infants. Lower physical and psychological burden while changing diapers was associated with pull-up type diapers.

In fashion Business, turnover of stores is decided by the product appeals of fashion apparels and selling capacity of the fashion apparel store. In order to increase the turnover, the selection of apparel goods which are preferred by consumers of the shop is most important. Next, the selling capacity is important. In previous papers, we discussed about the relation between apparel goods and consumers. Fashion apparel is thought to be a carrier of the information which is proposed by the fashion designer. On this account, we assumed the purchase and sale of fashion apparels are the diffusion phenomena of the information in the behavioral space. From the point of view, we propose a mathematical model describing the purchase and sale of the fashion apparels.

Nonverbal communications involving physical contact convey “Kansei” information that is difficult to express in verbal communications. In this study, we proposed a method to investigate “Kansei” information in nonverbal communications, and surveyed how people perceive nonverbal communication involving physical contact. In the psychological experiment using questionnaire, we presented various words describing tapping and patting actions with Japanese onomatopoeias and sound symbolic words expressing a concept or nuance that is difficult to verbalize explicitly. Participants first imaged the situation wherein they made communication with another person through the physical contact, and then evaluated the “Kansei” information of communications and rated them by adjectives. We found that onomatopoeias added a variety of impressions to communications with physical contact. We then applied factor analysis using adjective rating to extract a factor space of the communicative actions. For both tapping and patting motion, the first factor represented atmosphere of the behavior, and the second dimension represented activeness of the physical motions themselves. We then mapped the rating scores of desirability of the communication onto the factor spaces. The scores of the first and the second factors well predict in an additive way the desirability of communication for both actions, and the influence of the first factor was stronger than that of the second factor. These results suggest that the structure of factor space represents desirability of the communication regardless of actions. The proposed method may be useful and efficient to investigate the Kansei information, factor space, and their inter-relation, of nonverbal communications.

In this study, we used 6 different fragrances to better understand the tendency of scents to elicit a sense of omotenashi (hospitality) in elderly people. To first understand how elderly people perceive scents associated with feelings of omotenashi we performed an impression evaluation using SD method of 22 adjective pairs. We then analyzed the results taken from a questionnaire survey we conducted on 51 elderly Japanese men and women using a factor analysis, and extracted the factors that represent sensations of scents which produced a sense of omotenashi. Our subsequent examination of the main underlying factors indicated that scents with sensations of freshness, adulthood and pleasure hinted a sense of omotenashi in scents for elderly people. We also noted differences in the way the scent was perceived compared to young people.

Protective frame is a feature of experience in which individuals find a situation as protecting them from negative consequences, and enables them to experience positive rather than negative emotions. We examined whether fictionality of stimuli acts as a protective frame. Participants rated their positive and negative emotions induced by fictional or non-fictional film stimuli including fearful or disgusting content, and completed a questionnaire measuring their mood. Results indicated that disgusting-fictional stimulus induced weaker disgust compared to disgusting-non-fictional stimulus, while fictionality showed no such effect on fearful stimuli. Stronger perceived fictionality was associated with stronger interest in the film and urge to continue watching the film. We suggest that fictionality decreases disgust and increases positive emotion towards negative stimuli.

Emotional state before sleep affects the subsequent sleep onset. The purpose of this study was to investigate how positive/negative emotion before sleep effected hypnagogic state. The movies eliciting positive or negative emotion were presented before sleep. Hypnagogic imagery was recorded as a probe of emotional experience and EEG microstate analysis was used for finding the emotion related EEG activities. The score of emotion ratings for hypnagogic imagery indicated that positive emotion was reported in not only positive condition but also in negative condition. This implied that hypnagogic state might be accompanied by positive emotion. Comparing the appearance of maps obtained from microstate analysis between conditions, the map of right temporal activity was significantly greater in positive condition while the map of the left frontal activity was greater negative condition. These results suggested that the emotion not just in presleep but also in hypnagogic state was involved in sleep onset process.
