Psychological research on awe has largely focused its positive dimensions, both in terms of the experiential state and individual trait-based predispositions to experience. Little is known, however, about awe’s negative-valence such as tendencies experience threatening. To gain a broader understanding awe, current study investigates feel negative aspects (i.e., threat) (e.g., beauty) examines how these two are interrelated. Additionally, this uses Japanese US samples explore whether vary...
Kama muta is a positive emotion that commonly elicited against backdrop of difficulties and reorients one’s values towards priorities in life. Hence, we expect kama to cause similar beneficial shifts attitudes, when exposed collective threat such as natural disasters. In these contexts, may help build individuals’ resources for prosocial action, through mechanisms like reducing the perceived burden their own personal problems. As such, current research proposes reduces negative attitudes...
Abstract Background The wisdom of crowds and collective decision-making are important tools for integrating information between individuals, which can exceed the capacity individual judgments. They based on different forms integration. refers to aggregation many independent judgments without deliberation consensus, while is with consensus. Recent research has shown that outperforms crowds. Additionally, studies have metacognitive knowledge subjective confidence useful improving performance....
Awe is theorized as an emotion appraised by perceived vastness and need for accommodation. This theoretical framework was developed with a review of spatially temporally distributed literature mostly in the American European cultural context, assumed to be culturally universal. However, awe described Japanese literature, not explicitly included original theorization. We tested whether this generalized context analyzing how awe-related words (e.g., "畏敬/ikei") are used text. A topic model...
People feel a wide range of emotions. In many psychological traditions, emotions are defined as primarily emerging from within the individual, even if influenced by external factors (e.g., approval other people). This definition is consistent with an independent self-construal. However, in some contexts, understood to have more interdependent characteristics that can be shared people and arise social contexts collective, situations. We define lay theory interdependence emotion perception...
Abstract Studies of person-organization fit (P-O fit) have shown that a between the values individual and organization leads to higher job satisfaction. Here, we extended past research by investigating P-O on employees’ well-being. We tested what characteristics person contributed an effective in Japan. Specifically, examined role levels interdependence perceptions their organizational contexts as clan culture or market culture. This allowed us test type formed for employees with highly...
Abstract Amidst the global COVID-19 pandemic, telework (remote work) has become a widespread practice adopted by companies worldwide. However, Japan notably maintained low rate of implementation, suggesting cultural factors hindering its adoption. This study aimed to elucidate antecedents and consequences teleworking in Japan. Leveraging natural experiment created we addressed two key questions: (1) What socio-psychological Japanese workplaces were important for implementing first place? (2)...
Serial ordering mechanisms have been investigated extensively in psychology and psycholinguistics. It has also demonstrated repeatedly that long-term phonological knowledge contributes to serial ordering. However, the contribute yet be fully understood. To understand these mechanisms, we demonstrate 2 effects using triples of Japanese nonwords immediate recall. One, a type bielement frequency effect, is retrograde compatibility effect. Bielement are well-established phenomena whereby...
With the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic, companies around world have been introducing telework. However, Japan stands out for its low rate telework implementation, and it seems there may be cultural factors that hindered use in during pandemic. In this study, we aim to clarify antecedents consequences Japan, making natural experiment created by pandemic examine following two questions: (1) What socio-psychological workplaces were important first place? (2) How did implementation subsequently...
Evidence supporting the idea that serial-order verbal working memory is underpinned by long-term knowledge has accumulated over more than half a century. Recent studies using natural-language statistics, artificial statistical-learning techniques, and Hebb repetition paradigm have revealed multiple types of underlying performance. These include (a) element-to-element association knowledge, which slowly accumulates through extensive exposure to an exemplar; (b) position–element acquired...
Tearful crying is a ubiquitous and likely uniquely human phenomenon. Scholars have argued that emotional tears serve an attachment function: Tears are thought to act as social glue by evoking support intentions. Initial experimental studies supported this proposition across several methodologies, but these were conducted almost exclusively on participants from North America Europe, resulting in limited generalizability. This project examined the tears-social intentions effect possible...
The Hebb repetition paradigm has recently attracted attention as a measure of serial order learning, which underlies word-form learning abilities. Although children are good vocabulary learners, it is surprising that previous studies with young show rather weak effects. In this study, we conducted two experiments to identify developmental factors drive an increase the size effect in children. Motivated by evidence from adult work, focused on ability group sequence into consistent...
The current study investigated the ways long-term memory contributes to short-term serial order of novel verbal sequences, focusing on knowledge bi-element frequency, that is, co-occurrence frequency two consecutive elements in a linguistic environment. Participants performed types immediate recall nine-element (nine-mora) sequences: low bi-mora sequences where all eight associations between nine morae were and mixed with high-frequency for six bi-morae. Experiment 1 confirmed bi-directional...
Although well-being is helpful in measuring the state of society from various perspectives, past research has been limited to (1) questionnaire surveys, which make it difficult target a large number people, and (2) major indices focus on individual factors do not incorporate group factors. To tackle these issues, we collected daily reports company employees that included text, their subjective well-being, team well-being. By using data, constructed estimation model based Large Language Model...
As communication tools have shifted to Social Networking Services (SNS) in recent years, especially among the younger generation, use of text-based online counseling services is spreading rapidly Japan. With this shift, SNS now mainly provided by temporarily trained paraprofessionals and non-professionals under supervision more experienced professionals, there an urgent need train counselors with high levels expertise. However, a great lack basic research Japan, empirical findings not yet...

Historical collective threat has been highlighted as a key factor behind the evolution of cultural differences, but little research investigated how culture-threat links are reflected in concrete psychological and behavioural tendencies. Additionally, although it is well established that regulation strategies generally differ between cultures, they have scarcely examined context an ongoing threat. We tested whether general findings adjustment more prevalent among East Asians influence...
Text-based online counseling services are rapidly spreading, especially among younger generations. However, previous research on text-based is limited to young users in Western countries. Given its potential utility for broader populations, description of the public image service necessary reach populations. The current study aimed describe images Japan, focusing generational differences. An survey asked Japanese participants (N = 614) from a wide age range (M 41.77; SD 11.98, 20 76) freely...
