Gaming tool as a method of natural disaster risk education: Educating the relationship between risk and insurance

T. Unagami, T. Motoyoshi, J. Takai

Safety, Reliability and Risk Analysis: Theory, Methods and Applications - Proceedings of the Joint ESREL and SRA-Europe Conference Vol. 4 page： 2685 - 2688 2009

Publishing type：Research paper (international conference proceedings)

The present study aimed to revise disaster risk communication gaming tool RisCom (Unagami, Motoyoshi, Takai, & Yoshida, 2007). In a previous study, the authors developed and tested the effectiveness of RisCom in terms of natural disaster risk education, and pointed out the necessity for a better gaming tool that reflects more factors related to natural disaster prevention. In the present study, disaster insurance was implemented into the previous version of RisCom. The game was designed to provide better educational tools for natural disaster risk education, as well as to provide research method for research in the perception of risk and willingness to accept some cost to avoid possible risks (i.e., willingness to pay). A total of 115 Japanese students participated in RisCom II. Individual difference in the risk aversive strategy was observed, and most of the participants evaluated the new version of RisCom as being both educative and entertaining. Participants* interests towards natural disaster insurance increased significantly after playing the game. © 2009 Taylor & Francis Group.

No mobile, no life: Self-perception and text-message dependency among Japanese high school students. Reviewed

Igarashi, T., Motoyoshi, T., Takai, J., & Yoshida, T.

Computers in Human Behavior Vol. 24 page： 2311-2324 2008.9

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal)

A survey was conducted to investigate how self-perception of text-message dependency leads to psychological/behavioral symptoms in relation to personality factors. Japanese high school students completed a self-report questionnaire measuring frequency of text-messages, self-perception of text-message dependency, psychological/behavioral symptoms, extroversion and neuroticism. Self-perception of text-message dependency was composed of three factors: perception of excessive use, emotional reaction, and relationship maintenance. Although message frequency was significantly related to psychological/behavioral symptoms, this effect was qualified by self-perception and personality factors. In particular, self-perception of text-message dependency strongly affected psychological/behavioral symptoms. Importance of distinction between extroverted and neurotic text-message dependency through the process of self-perception of maladaptive behavior is discussed.

The effect of the norm related to anger regulation according to interpersonal relationships Reviewed Open Access

Takuya Yoshida, & Jiro Takai

Japanese Journal of Interpersonal Social Psychology Vol. 8 page： 35-42 2008.6

Language：Japanese Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal)

Effects of emotion regulation tactics which represent expression or non-expression have been examined in relation to psychological well-being. However, which tactic is effective would be contingent on the interpersonal relationships with the agent of arousal at least for anger regulation, as the norms pertaining to emotion expression may differ with intimacy or social status of the target. As it was vague that whether both intimacy and status influenced the cognition of norm and use of each tactic, the present study, focusing on anger, examined the influence of intimacy and status on norm and use of anger regulation tactics. A vignette approach revealed that social status generally had some effect on the norm of anger regulation. Results also showed that the social status had positive relationships with the anger regulation tactics after the effects of the norm had been statistically controlled.

*Effects of anonymity on antisocial behavior committed by individuals Reviewed

Nogami, Tatsuya, Jiro Takai

Psychological Reports Vol. 102 page： 119-130 2008.2

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal)

The present study examined association between anonymity and antisocial individual behavior without any influence from die presence of others. Anonymity was operationally defined as consisting of two components, nonidentifiability and nonaccountability. Antisocial behavior was defined as rule-breaking behavior seeking a monetary reward. It was hypothesized that anonymity would increase antisocial behavior among individuals. Undergraduate students (20 men, 50 women) were recruited from two psychology classes and were randomly assigned to four experimental conditions (Anonymous, Nonidentifiable, Nonaccountable, and Nonanonymous) to examine whether they would violate game rules to obtain the monetary reward through anonymity. Only participants in the Anonymous condition violated the rules to obtain the reward. Implications for the effects of anonymity on antisocial individual behavior are discussed.

Does self-concept differentiation really damage mental health?: Exploring the role of expectancy from others Open Access

Yoshida Takuya, Takai Jiro

THE JAPANESE JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY Vol. 47 ( 2 ) page： 118 - 133 2008

Language：Japanese Publisher：The Japanese Group Dynamics Association

There have been a myriad of studies focusing on self-concept-in-situation. However, it has yet to be empirically clarified why self concept may change, depending on the context. Based on previous studies, it was hypothesized that expectation from others peculiar to a situation will influence changes in self-concept. Also, the relationship between self-concept change and mental health was examined. Although studies in self-concept differentiation have shown that changes in self concept are a sign of maladaptation, this study forwarded that changes in the direction toward the expectations from others should be regarded as adaptive. Thus, self-concept change along with expectations, were hypothesized to positively relate to situation-specific self-evaluation and global mental health. Results supported these hypotheses except for mental health. The relationship between self concept change and self-monitoring was also examined, and it was determined that sensitivity to expressive behavior of others have a positive influence on self concept change. The difference between the effects of the two components of self-monitoring on self concept change was discussed, and it was concluded that further exploration of social situations are warranted.<br>

Moderating factors of anger regulation: Focusing on interpersonal relationships with the agent of arousal Open Access

Yoshida Takuya, Takai Jiro

JAPANESE JOURNAL OF RESEARCH ON EMOTIONS Vol. 15 ( 2 ) page： 89 - 106 2008

Language：Japanese Publisher：JAPAN SOCIETY FOR RESEARCH ON EMOTIONS

The effects of expression or non-expression of negative emotions have been of particular interest to researchers of emotion regulation. Among the variety of negative emotions, anger poses a particularly detrimental consequence on interpersonal relationships and mental health, whether expressed or not. The constructive expression of anger and trial of revision has been the recent focus of an effective method of anger regulation. However, the most effective tactic is contingent on the interpersonal relationship with the agent of arousal, as norms pertaining to emotional expression may differ depending on the level of intimacy or power distance. Thus, the present study examined the moderating effect of relational variables with the agent of anger arousal. A native anger regulation scale suggested a five-factor structure: Emotional expression, Constructive expression, Expression toward third person, Suppression, and Reappraisal attempt. To confirm the moderating effects of interpersonal relations, evaluations of past anger-arousing experiences between two conditions, one toward a non-intimate target with higher status, and another toward an intimate target with equal status, were compared. Results suggested that Reappraisal attempt had a positive effect on relationship evaluation in the non-intimate, higher status condition, while constructive expression had a positive effect in the intimate, equal status condition. Further examination of relationship factors, content of anger experience, and other moderating factors was discussed.

Dissociation as a mediator between perceived parental rearing style and depression in an adult community population using college students Open Access

Takahiro Yoshizumi, Satomi Murase, Takashi Murakami, Jiro Takai

Personality and Individual Differences Vol. 43 ( 2 ) page： 353 - 364 2007.7

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD

The purpose of this study was to investigate the mediating process in the relationship between early parenting and depressive symptoms. In particular, the potential role of dissociation as a mediator between the perceived parental rearing style during childhood and depression in adulthood was examined, along with the effect of avoidance as a coping style. A total of 449 undergraduates (231 men and 218 women) completed five measures: the Parental Bonding Instrument (PBI), the Parenting Scale of Inconsistency (PSI), the Dissociative Experiences Scale (DES), the Depression Scale of the GHQ-60, and the Tri-axial Coping Scale (TAC-24). Path analyses were conducted to test for mediating effects. The findings showed different paths by gender. For men, dissociation mediated the relationship between overprotective parenting and depressive symptoms, although for women, dissociation mediated the relationship between inconsistent parenting and depressive symptoms. Avoidance as a coping style had no effect on depressive symptoms. The mediating role of dissociation between perceived parenting style and depressive symptoms was confirmed in a community sample. Some clinical and research implications of the study were outlined. © 2007.

Teacher Immediacy Scales: Testing for Validity Across Cultures

Qin Zhang, John G. Oetzel, Xiaofang Gao, Richard G. Wilcox, Jiro Takai

Communication Education Vol. 56 ( 2 ) page： 228 - 248 2007.4

Language：Japanese Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal)

Cross-cultural validity of teacher immediacy scales is a constant concern in instructional communication research. The present study examines the validity of two existing teacher immediacy scales: the Revised Nonverbal Immediacy Measure (RNIM) and the Chinese Teacher Immediacy Scale (CTIS) in U.S., Chinese, German, and Japanese cultures. Results of confirmatory factor analysis and Pearson correlation provide evidence for the validity of both the RNIM and the CTIS. Overall, both scales are found to have adequate factorial, construct, convergent, and discriminant validity pan-culturally and within culture, despite some slight variations across cultures. Implications and future directions are also addressed.

The influence of time pressure on mood-congruent effects: Evaluating products with limited information

Masayo Noda, Jiro Takai, Toshikazu Yoshida

Journal of Applied Social Psychology Vol. 37 ( 2 ) page： 403 - 425 2007.2

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：WILEY

This study tested mood effects on product evaluation, varying information type and time pressure. In this experiment, happy or sad moods were induced in participants, then they were asked to evaluate products. The results showed that in the happy mood/non-time-prcssure condition, a favorable evaluation was seen when complete information was provided compared to incomplete. However, when time pressure was induced, no such difference was observed. On the other hand, in the sad mood/non-time-pressure condition, there was no difference in evaluation between complete and incomplete information, but when time pressure was induced, a less favorable evaluation of products was seen under incomplete relative to complete. The results provide support for the process in which participants depend on their mood as a source of information when inferring about missing information under reduced cognitive capacity. © 2007 Blackwell Publishing, Inc.

A further test of immediacy-learning models: A cross-cultural investigation Reviewed

Zhang, Q., Oetzel, J., Gao, X., Wilcox, R. G., & Takai, J.

Journal of Intercultural Communication Research Vol. 36 page： 1-13 2007

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal)

The present study was designed to test and compare the four existing immediacy-learning models, namely the learning model, the motivation model, the affective learning model, and the integrating model, in US, Chinese, German, and Japanese college classrooms. Altogether 695 college students from the four cultures completed the questionnaire, and the results from structural equation modeling indicate that the integrating model produces the best fit to the four-cultural data. Teacher immediacy has both a direct path and indirect paths mediated through affective learning and motivation to cognitive learning. The findings are consistent with both the relevant theories pertinent to immediacy, cognition, and behavior, and previous empirical findings regarding the immediacy-learning relationship.
