    The purpose of this study is to investigate whether gender differences between pairs of eyewitnesses influence their collaborative recall. Using the MORI technique (Mori, 2003), two different images can be presented on a single screen and viewed separately by two groups of participants through polarizing filters, so that they are unaware of actually viewing two different overlapping images. The participants in this study were 48 undergraduates, assigned to one of three groups: a) eight male pairs, b) eight female pairs, and c) eight mixed-gender pairs. Wearing polarizing sunglasses, the members of each pairing observed two slightly different versions of an event projected on the same screen. The participants were asked initially to report individually on what they had observed (pre-discussion report), and then to discuss the event with the other member of the pairing and make a consensus report (post-discussion report). After one week, the participants were again asked to report individually on their recollections for the event (week-later report). The results indicated that memory performance for female pairs improved significantly in the post-discussion and the week-later reports. An increase in memory performance for male pairs was only found in the post-discussion report. However, no significant improvements in memory scores for the mixed-gender pairs were observed in any of their reports.

    The purpose of this study is to clarify that one of the causes of gender personality imbalance, which has been considered to suppress psychological health and social adaptation of individuals, is a couple unit society with premise of marriage. And we developed family relational orientation scale to measure the strength of the tendency of individuals to incorporate couple unit society. As a result, although there was no direct relationship between family relational orientation and gender personality, we found that it affected behavioral aspects such as spouse selection.

    Changes in feelings, facial expressions, and psychosomatic states caused by communication behaviors of animals directed at people were investigated. The results indicated that impressions regarding appearance of dogs differed significantly, depending on the dog’s coat and size. Moreover, impressions regarding faces of dogs was affected by the direction of its gaze, shape of its ears, and opened or closed mouth. Moreover, these impressions were related to likes and dislikes of dogs, as well as the experience of keeping dogs. Furthermore, contact with pet robots resulted in subjective feelings and physiological responses, including saliva amylase, heart rate, and blood pressure. In addition, the effects of contact with pet robots changed, depending on likes and dislikes for animals, the time of contact, the movement of pet robots, and participants’ behaviors corresponding to such movement.

    The structure of consultation for mid-career professional caregivers indicated five factors such as “problem solving skills.” “empathic understanding and active listening.” “mental and behavioral self-control.” “sociability” and “awareness.”We conducted an interventional approach for mid-career professional caregivers.The feelings of fatigue were significantly decreased and quality of sleep among colleagues and subordinates of the mid-career professional caregivers significantly decreased and increased respectively after the intervention. However, the mid-career professional caregivers were working with a higher psychological strain than their colleagues and subordinates. Our findings suggest that it is necessary to intervene to reduce the psychological strain of mid-career professional caregivers.

    In this study, Crying and tears were quantified, then mental and physical changes from shedding tears were investigated. The results indicated that the knowledge of the content of an emotionally arousing movie, or the experience of watching such a movie did not significantly affect the degree of crying. Watching other people cry resulted in emotional responses that were different from smiles, or other expressions. The possibility of measuring the volume of tears using cotton yarn, filter paper, and cotton balls is suggested. Furthermore, changes in physiological responses such as salivary cortisol, heart rate, and blinks were observed.

    The purpose of this study was to investigate the job stress and mental health service system in the welfare facilities to the elderly. The most facilities have not provide the mental health service as a consultation, because it coped with it in the case-by-case. The high stress levels in the categories of occupational stress factors were higher when compared to the general male and female workers. The percentage of work demands and work control were different among male and female workers. These results suggest the mental health of the welfare facilities to the elderly must consider it for sex differences.

    Our prospective studies suggest socioeconomic status affect health outcomes in Japanese workers and psychosocial job characteristics play a role to some extent, mainly by modifying the associations. The pattern of social inequalities in health in Japan appeared differ across demographic characters, such as gender, age, and occupation, and somewhat different from Western countries. Further studies are necessary among diverse work sites and a wider range of occupations. Employing several-wave panel design would be fruitful because reciprocal causal relationships will be evaluated more precisely.

    平成18年度は、PETを使用した実験的研究によるコントロール可能性の記憶部位の探索と、光トポグラフィー(NIRS)を使用した確率学習課題によるコントロール可能性可能性の操作に対する脳機能の解明を行った。
    1. PETを使用した確率学習課題による実験により、コントロール可能性の責任部位を同定し、これらの部位と生理的ストレス反応指標との間の相関を確認した。内側前頭前野(BA32)他の部位が、コントロール可能性が低いとの認知と関連しており、またこの部位の活動が血圧・心拍・免疫・心理反応などのストレス反応と正の相関をしていた。
    2.光トポグラフィーを用いた研究について日立基礎研究所と共同研究契約を締結し、光トポグラフィー測定系に、確率学習課題による心理学的実験システムの組み込みを行い、光トポグラフィーを用いた職業性ストレス理論モデルの脳内機序の解明のための汎用実験系を確立した。
    3.本研究の解析方法について、国際行動医学会(タイ)の場を利用して、関連する専門家から助言を受けるとともに、研究成果の一部を発表した。
    以上から、コントロール可能性の記憶担当部位が前頭前野内側にあることがほぼ明らかとなり、この部位の機能が仕事の要求度や急性ストレスに対する血圧・心拍・免疫・心理反応を修飾していることが示された。職業性ストレスモデルである要求度-コントロールモデルの神経基盤を明確にし、また光トポグラフィーを用いた汎用実験系を確立し、今後の本領域の研究の進展に寄与した。

    The present study project investigated the association between job stressors and cancer incidence, as well as its mechanisms, by conducting two prospective cohort studies (old and new cohort studies) and smaller prospective and cross-sectional epidemiologic studies on the mediators between job stressors and cancer incidence (physiological parameters, such as immune functions, oxidative DNA damage, and health-related behaviors such as diet).
    The project tested the following associations: (1) the association of job stressors based on the two major theories of job stress, i.e., "demand-control-support model" and "effort-reward imbalance model", with all cancer incidence (as well as site-specific cancer incidences), (2) the association of other psychosocial factors at work with all cancer incidence, and (3) the association of the job stressors with physiological parameters (immune functions, oxidative DNA damage) and health-related behaviors (smoking, drug, and diet).
    As the results of the present research project, it is suggested that the job stressors increase the all-cancer incidence. Part of the association seems to be explained by oxidative DNA damage caused by the job stressors. Diet and other health-related behaviors may not play a major role in connecting the job stressors and cancer incidence.

  • A study of endogenous eyeblinks in primates including human from the standpoint of comparative cognitive scinence.

    The eyeblink behaviors of 71 species of primates were recorded and analyzed in terms of three types of blink attributes ; 1)eyeblink rate, 2) blink duration and 3) sole blink percent (the blinks not associated with head and body movements), comparing with the possible contributing factors ; 1) phylogenetic scale of common term. 2) of family level, 3) head body length, 4) body mass, 5) activity rhythm, and 6) habitat types. The blink frequency increased linearly from nocturnal to diurnal, arboreal to terrestrial and especially along phylogenetic scales such as common term levels and family type levels. Sole blink percents also tend to increase in accordance with phylogenetic process but blink durations were affected only by body size. These findings might suggest that the jumboized or large-sized species have little enemies or predators and decrease the necessity of vigilance, resulting in allowing extra blinks, which leads to frequent, shorter and sole blinks, compared with the smaller and feeble species.
