The purpose of our study is to reveal the reasons for which teachers punish their students from the point of view of the students in a physical education and sports university. We extracted the groups that accept or reject corporal punishment from 1,722 freshmen, and asked them to judge the pros and cons for 10 types of corporal punishment scenes. As a result, we found that characteristic differences were observed in the five scenes, and that the corporal punishment scene was composed of three factors.

Nurses' empathy is an important dimension of the therapeutic alliance between patients and nurses. The objective of this study was to verify the model that metacognition directly relates to perspective taking, and that rationality and intrapersonal emotional intelligence can mediate between metacognition and perspective taking, and that perspective taking relates to other-oriented emotional reactivity in nurses. Questionnaires obtained from 838 nurses working in five hospitals were analyzed using structural equation modeling. The results showed that metacognition related to rationality and intrapersonal emotional intelligence, and rationality and intrapersonal emotional intelligence related to perspective taking. In addition, monitoring and control within the subfactors of metacognition related to perspective taking. Furthermore, perspective taking and metacognitive knowledge related to other-oriented emotional reactivity. The results of this study suggest these relations may be one source of proof of causation.

Although the original Athletic Hardiness Scale (AHS) has been used to measure hardiness among university athletes in Japan, some psychometric problems have been identified with this scale. Thus, the purpose of this study was to revise the AHS for Japanese university athletes and to examine differences in hardiness according to gender and competitive role. The participants were 511 Japanese university athletes (305 men; 206 women; mean age 19.9 years, SD = 1.21). The measures consisted of socio-demographic questions, the revised AHS questionnaire for Japanese university athletes (RAHS), and the Self-rating Depression Scale. An exploratory factor analysis of the RAHS revealed a 12-item, three-factor model. We labeled the factors as "commitment," "challenge," and "control." Cronbach's α coefficients ranged from.75 to.84. A confirmatory factor analysis indicated acceptable structural validity of the RAHS. Men reported higher hardiness scores than women, and a negative correlation between hardiness and depressive symptoms was confirmed. The RAHS showed satisfactory reliability and validity, and it may be useful for understanding hardiness among university athletes.

To identify challenges of a cancer family care learning program for general ward nurses developed in our previous study, we used and evaluated it on a trial basis. We conducted a questionnaire survey using the Scale for the Care of Cancer Patients' Families in General Wards before and after the learning program, involving 80 nurses working on 3 wards of a cooperating hospital. The numbers of respondents in the pre- and post-learning surveys were 43 (response rate: 53.8%) and 30 (37.5%), respectively. Analysis of responses for each factor revealed a tendency to self-evaluate family care more positively after learning. This tendency was marked for {considering patient privacy in multi-bed rooms} (p=0.004) and {accurately recognizing cancer-related changes in family members' roles} (p=0.018), as scores were significantly higher after learning in both cases. As challenges of the learning program, the results indicate the necessity of connecting learning contents and practice, developing effective learning strategies, selecting appropriate nurses for a training session as part of the learning program, and reviewing methods to share learning through training.

The present study aimed to explore the important factors related to perceived benefit in daily risk-taking behaviors. A web-based questionnaire survey was conducted for five hundred respondents with a wide range of ages. The list of risk-taking behaviors in daily life was developed by consulting previous studies. The perceived benefit of such behaviors was evaluated using several indicators (e.g. whether the benefit can be obtained with certainty). Results of factor analysis indicated that perceived benefit in risk-taking behavior was mainly evaluated by the intuitive thinking process. Multiple regression analysis also revealed the important effect of such intuitive thinking process on intention of risk-taking. Our research suggested the important components of perceived benefit in risk-taking behaviors. The findings should have also been discussed from the viewpoints of several theories such as the dual process theory used in industrial and social psychology.

The present study investigated the features of the motivation at return to work in EY (Early Years) through the comparison of the UK & Japan, which had opposite direction in a recent policy reform of EY settings. I set the Five groups of 43 returners (13 Nursery Returners & 5 Other occupations Returners in Japan, 5 Nursery Returners, 6 Other occupations Returners, & 14 Returner applicants in England) and collected interview data. The text mining analysis of each group and compared with them chiefly focused on the words that co-occurred with 'Work', and got to 3 findings about the features of Japanese EY returners; 1. Their priority was their own children, the same as Japanese returners in other occupations. 2. They had an ambivalent attitude for their EY qualification. 3. The ratio of the negative relations between "work/working" and "I/myself" was higher. These tendencies regarded as the relation with the lower-leveled professionalism, and a poorer employment practice in part-time working in Japan EY facilities.

This study aims to examine which aspects of Japanese culture Chinese individuals adopted during their stay overseas and if they retained these cultural qualities after their return. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with five Chinese individuals who had stayed in Japan for one to eight years. Each interview lasted between 30 to 90 minutes and took place at X University in China, where returnees from Japan worked as academic staff. The results showed that the individuals acquired aspects of the Japanese culture in three main categories: rules or manners (observation of public rules), ways of communication (respecting other people's intentions), and philosophy of life (orientation toward co-existence with others). It appears that Chinese individuals firmly accepted and later internalized Japanese characteristics that they believed were admirable; therefore, it is believed that returnees retained these qualities even after returning to their original society.

Train drivers must look ahead and react to many kinds of signals or signs when driving a train. We investigated whether they could perceive a visual signal when driving a train in actual setting while paying attention to the ordinary signal. In this experiment, train drivers (N = 41) were asked to blow a whistle as quickly as possible, when they see a target light about 610-720 meters ahead. The target light was set to be seen at 0, 1.8, 3.3 degrees away from an ordinary signal on the rail track. Each driver responded for just one target. There were no missed target errors. However, RTs (Reaction times) analysis indicated that RTs for targets separated by 1.8 and 3.3 from the central vision was significantly longer than those at 0. We concluded that when driving a train, it is hard for drivers to respond to a target that was separated from a focused object and discussed applicability of this result to driving environment and driver's education.

Although there have been some studies on safety culture, studies on specific methods to foster safety culture have been limited. Moreover, it is deemed necessary to assess and foster safety cultures not only for individual organizations but also inter-organizationally. In this study, we developed a program to foster safety culture. Thereafter, we applied the program to multi-tiered industrial organizations. Hence, this paper focuses on interorganizational approaches. The program consisted of multiple questionnaire surveys, interview surveys, group works, and monitoring surveys. The subjects of the surveys were members of energy plants. As a result, in general, improvements in the safety culture evaluation were seen after the implementation of countermeasures. In the program consisting of multiple surveys and activities, a certain effect of fostering safety culture in multi-tiered organizations was recognized. Henceforth, more studies will be required on the means of assessing and fostering safety cultures in multi-tiered industrial organizations of various types.

This study examines two viewpoints on acculturation among the ethnic group of Zainichi Koreans, who settled, or whose ancestors settled, in Japan during the Japanese colonial era (1910-1945): the "traditional" view of acculturation (which includes four types of acculturation: assimilation, integration, marginalization, and separation), based on Western academic research, and the "context-specific" or "unattached" view, which conveys a desire for freedom from and a lifestyle or orientation that resists being constrained by pre-determined Korean or Japanese cultures and identities, preferring to identify as "human beings" or "individuals." Through an ANOVA test, our research found that unattachment score was highest in a more integrated group—contrary to our hypothesis that it would be highest in a more marginalized group, who irrespective of the conceptual connection between marginalization and unattachment have a tendency toward integration in their "real lives." These findings can help us understand the daily lives, identities, and perspectives of Zainichi Koreans and other ethnic minorities in Japan.
