The motivation of Japanese primary pupils to learn English as a foreign language (EFL) was examined in a pilot study of Japanese sixth form students (aged 11-12 years). The main aim is to verify the hypothesis that Japanese primary pupils learn EFL under a clear understanding of second language (L2) instrumentality, and examine whether the latest conceptual framework of L2 instrumentality can be applied to their EFL learning. The pupils completed a questionnaire that included 39 question items about different L2 motivational variables: integrativeness, and prevention- and promotion- driven instrumentality. The results were obtained based on factor analyses to examine how related L2 motivational variables are identified. Findings indicate that a clear distinction is drawn between integrativeness and instrumentality in learning EFL and that an explicit notion of L2 instrumentality is held among Japanese primary EFL pupils, based on the conceptual frameworks of L2 motivation. In particular, their L2 instrumentality substantiates that prevention-driven and promotion-driven instrumentality are distinct constructs within the conceptual framework of the L2 Motivational Self System (L2MSS) : significantly, these two internal constructs were identified as distinctive types by the participating pupils.

In this paper, we focus on business and the impedance that is a concept in the electrical engineering. Therefore the purpose of this paper is to provide a new knowledge in this field by using the concept of impedance, and to show the relation of the analogy between the impedance and business, and attractive approach to business, marketing, design, user experience (UX), etc. The meaning of analogy is to guess from those similar. It can be interpreted as one form of analogy, for example, also “parable”. When we have a new experience, we consider the problem by analogy from previous experience unconsciously. This is the basic idea of what we are practicing on a daily life. This concept will be applicable to create a new idea. Rather than bring the near ones, the important thing in analogy conception is that it borrows from a field with distance in contents. Its methodology leads to produce the innovation. If we borrow from a place close that everyone noticed, it is not possible to obtain a value to be expected. Engineering is a discipline that has been developed in the focus be useful to people originally. In addition, its history is old. For example, a core part of the mechanical engineering and electrical engineering is an area that has been established that have something immovable. This field is not an exaggeration to say that to form a “beautiful systematic academism”. Then the primary subject of this paper is to propose the concept of “business impedance”. Originally, both of “business” and “impedance” belong to the field of quite different respectively. Business is in “commercial world”, and the impedance is the field of “engineering”. Impedance is a concept in the electrical resistance of the exchanges in electrical and electronic engineering.

This research was performed in order to clarify the difference between inexperienced person and experts of Ikebana through impression evaluation during the appreciation of arrangement. In this research, not only arrangement themselves, but also photos of them were used for the evaluation. Experimental results indicated that experts could distinguish the difference of arrangements between experts and inexperienced persons even though they watch Ikebanas or photos. However, it is thought to be difficult for inexperienced person. Concerning of the elements of evaluation, that will lead a new research which element appear in which media and the reason that cause this situation.

The purpose of this study was to see whether fashion image terminology in general use is objective as indicator terms having the same effects on consumers in general and to verify its usefulness as a shared language tool. We found variation in the image terms chosen for fashion styles that combine multiple taste elements. Particularly, clear classification proved difficult as multiple terms were chosen for one style, such as “romantic/feminine,” “country,” “girly,” or “elegant.” This may be connected to the terms themselves having lost objectivity as their distinguishing properties have grown ambiguous through widespread use. However, to some degree limited images were accepted for styles having clear distinguishing features such as texture and color. Clearly, sufficient consideration needs to be given to their selection when using objective sensory categories and image terms in fashion as a communication language.

In studies of the relationship between relaxation and music, that between brain waves and chords has often been reported despite the fact that “harmony” rather than single chords is listened for in most cases. This raises the problem of whether brain waves measured in subjects differ when harmony is listened to from when single chords are listened to. As a first step toward solving this problem, we propose original experiments in presentation sound, analytical object, and time zone, clarifying that brain waves were influenced by both chords and of chord correlation in harmony.

Japanese Confectionary “Suetomi” is the high level brand in the Kyoto's long-standing companies. This always makes the Japanese sweets a high level in Kyoto, and gets the high appraisal from the parties concerned the master of the tea ceremony , such as “Urasenke.” However, it is possible for their products to be not suitable for the tendency in the age, even if their peculiar value is different from the other companies. Also, there is a possibility that they exposed to the crisis of the business continuance. On the contrary, they offer the products that never betray the customer expectation, and a lot of customers visit their shop from the whole country. In the present study, we present the analysis of Suetomi' management strategy and its strength and differentiation based on the interview of the president Mr. Yamaguchi. After that, we analyze their innovation from the viewpoint of product innovation and Kansei value. Finally, we discuss the design innovation of Kyogashi design based on our studies. In conclusion, Suetomi has a different strong point from the other company as a long-standing company of Kyoto confections and we have understood performing the management strategy which establishes a sustainable competitive advantage using it. Thus, they have performed the design innovation of Kyoto-confections products in the management strategy which is compatible in tradition and innovation, and have created the value of a customer's sensitivity.

Japan has a hospitality culture called “Omotenashi”. In Japan’s classical literature, there are many songs and stories about fragrances. In addition to burning incense in Buddhism rituals, Japanese created a unique world called “Kodo”. This indicates that the Japanese have a deep history with scents. Regarding the scent of hospitality, it is necessary to consider the preference of the scent when greeting people. In a previous study, we conducted a questionnaire survey of 60 Japanese males and females using 5 different fragrances and 5 different note types and examined the results. In this experiment, we conducted a questionnaire survey of 58 Japanese males and females based on the SD method using 6 different perfumes and 2 different note types. We examined the results in this and the previous study in order to understand preferences for fragrances that conjure a sense of hospitality. We conducted factor analysis and extracted factors representing the feeling of “Omotenashi” from the perfumes. We analyzed the scent of each perfume based on these factors. Moreover, it was suggested that the impressions made by of perfume is different from the note types representing attributes of perfume. From the results of this experiment, as a result of examining the scent factors that bring about a feeling of hospitality, perfumes with a fresh, pleasant and graceful sensation were suggested to be the most effective in bringing about this feeling. In this paper, we reported on our research of fragrances that evoke in “Omotenashi”, or Japanese hospitality. In the future, we will continue to research the sensibilities that perfumes give to people and also propose a unique “perfume method (Kosuido)” for the purpose of researching the design of perfume.

We examined the effect of mindfulness meditation on self-motion perception (vection). We measured the strength of vection after two conditions: with- and without-meditation. The results showed that vection was significantly weaker in the with-meditation condition than without-meditation condition. We speculated that mindfulness meditation induced lower arousal level in the participants and such modulation in the participants' self-sensation could inhibit vection. We conclude that vection strength can be modulated by our mental states.

This experiment started to find the answer to the question like ‘There might be a common stereotype image when people think of a certain object’. In the experiment three different types of character expression (Kanji, Hiragana, and Katakana) for ‘chair’ were shown to the object. The object was to sketch the first image brought up when they heard of the word. Through the experiment it was able to find how Japanese think of the object based on their use experience in past. From the result of the experiment most of the Japanese regard the shape of the chair from past memory of early learning period. On the other hand experience of using certain shape of the chair during school years have affected bringing stereotype image up of the object.

In 2006 the Services and Supports for Persons with Disabilities Act came into effect, and Type B Continuous Vocational Aid Centers (VACs) were required to support persons with disabilities, design and develop merchandising products to be sold, and improve user wages. This study clarifies the issues regarding development and sales of vocational aid products and necessary support based on (1) questionnaires with 580 local governments and intermediate support organizations throughout the country and (2) visit surveys of local governments and welfare shops actively conducting development and sales support activities for vocational aid products. As a result, in order to solve issues, it is suggested that support for 1: improvement in product value added, 2: enhancement of marketing functions in product planning and sales, 3: efforts to strengthen collaborative activities among VACs are indispensable.

Considering the great popularity of amusement machines and contact lens that magnify the iris, it is clear that eyes play a significant role in facial attractiveness. However, there have been few studies that investigated attractiveness using average faces while manipulating the size of the iris and the shape of eyelid. In this study, we generated average female faces with either flat or double eyelids, we also generated four patterns of the size of the iris, and asked participants to rate their attractiveness and how natural or otherwise the faces appeared. The research found a face with flat eyelids and an iris at 125% of normal size was judged more attractive and more natural than faces with double eyelids. These results suggest that females with flat eyelids can readily enhance their facial attractiveness utilizing commodities such as contact lens that magnify the iris.

A set of movement feature values, called a Laban's feature value set, is proposed here in order to explain observers' impression of bodily expression. The design concept of the Laban's feature value set is based on Laban Movement Analysis (LMA), which is a proven theory in body movement psychology. In this paper, we adopt a Human Form Robot (HFR) as an agent of bodily expression because this is the type of a robot better adapted to Human-Agent Interaction (HAI). Relations between Laban's feature values and HFR's emotions (Happy, Angry, Sad and Relaxation) which are the subjects of this study were examined using the analysis of correlations. By the consideration of Russell's circumplex model of affect, we discussed the correlation in terms of each axial (“pleasure-displeasure” and “degree of arousal”) characteristics. Next, principal component analysis was conducted to examine multi-dimensional correlations. Finally four estimated emotion equations are generated by using the Laban's features.

This paper reports the results of two separate experiments on the effects of multisensory stimulation on working capacity and stress reduction. The first experiment, employing auditory stimulation and lighting stimulation, revealed that multisensory stimulation, a combination of green light, and the sound of a murmuring stream, had a greater stress-reduction effect than single-sensory stimulation. The second experiment, which employed smell and lighting stimulation, revealed that a peppermint scent reinforced working capacity during arithmetic calculation. Green light combined with a peppermint scent also supported working capacity. Such multisensory interaction cannot be accounted for as merely the cumulative effect of a combination of single-sensory stimuli.

We proposed a new mood induction technique using pictures of smiling baby faces and presented example of application on the technique in choice experiment. Based on Baby Schema (Kindchenschema: Lorenz, K. 1965), we hypothesized that a baby face which consist of a big head, relatively large eyes, and the rounded shape elicits altruistic emotion and positive affect. We conducted a choice experiment using the proposed technique. Subjects were presented slides of smiling baby faces before the choice task. The result of the experiment showed that the baby faces elicited positive mood and then promoted the uses of simple heuristics. This finding suggested efficiency of the proposed technique as a mood induction method.

In recent years, along with the development of robot technology, it has become possible to move dolls and toys realistically. Robot therapy is expected to achieve similar effects to those of animal therapy. However, which element of a robot is important for robot therapy has not been examined. We surmise that humans obtain more emotional healing based on biological functions related to hugging a doll with similar size and weight to those of a human baby. This paper describes analyses of the relation between human impressions and elements of the object such as size, weight, motion, and touch. The experimentally obtained results for human impressions using dolls of five kinds, including a robot, were evaluated. The results show that motion, tender touch, sufficient size to be hugged, and weight suggestive of a human baby all gave humans good impressions.

The main purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the typeface of the brand name and the shape of the sake bottle on impression formation on the sake and the estimation of its price. Participants rated their impressions and prices of nine stimuli patterns that were combinations of three typefaces of the brand name (mincho, gothic, and semi-cursive script) and three shapes of sake bottles (slender, shoulder dilated, and stocky). A factor analysis revealed six factors: commonplaceness, unattractiveness, clarity/stability, familiarity, lightness, and gentleness. In addition, the combination of the mincho typeface and slender shape conveyed commonplaceness, the gothic/semi-cursive script and stocky shape conveyed novelty, and the semi-cursive script and slender shape conveyed attractiveness. Moreover, the combination of the semi-cursive script and slender shape conveyed a high price. Multiple regression analysis revealed that the semi-cursive script had low familiarity and the low familiarity led to a high price.

This study is about the connections between the sense of taste image and the sense of shapes. For the previous research, Velasco experimented on the subjects if they felt the exact taste which he assumpted by showing those sample forms. But in this study, we made the subjects output their images of each taste as abstractive sketches. The objective of this research is to find out if there is a unification between many people's image of tastes and the taste which was shown, and to find out the common factors in images of each taste when the subject's images diverged. By mapping the collected taste of image-forms, we found out that there was a certain degree of unification in each taste of image, because each taste showed a different dissemination condition and split into different groups. Also by extracting the forms which people strongly feel the images of the flavors, we found out that there were 40 standard forms and patterns of transformation in total. For the verification, we asked the subjects how the standard forms and their transformation effects their sense of taste of image. And we concluded that there is an advanced form which strongly effects people's sense of taste of image, by transforming the standard forms.

In recent years, the media develops rapidly, and various media comes up. In the IT (Information-Technology) society, visual information exists a lot. In this situation, mosaic processing is used to hide the image information that must not be understood. However, mosaic, depending on conditions of processing and viewing distance, has a problem such as understanding processed images by mosaic. In this paper, we investigate conditions of understanding Japanese character images under mosaic processing. In addition, we perform visual experiments of the character images for anti-aliasing processing, geometric patterns and contrast.

The problems facing elderly who are living independently, are considered to be one of the most important motivations of the activity recognition research. The advances in sensing technologies allow collecting several types of data and communicate it wirelessly. However, most existing activity recognition systems requires pre-calculated pattern recognition models. This paper lays the theoretical foundations of a real-time methodology for activity and emotional recognition based on body and environment sensors simultaneously, then tackles one aspect of the method which is the path estimation using chest-mounted IMU sensor, for which a zero velocity update criteria is proposed. Finally path estimation results for sitting down, laying down, falling down and standing up are discussed.
