It aims to discuss further devel-opments in the personality research area. All of the research studies were arranged within a framework along four viewpoints: ( 1 ) studies dealing with personality traits comprehensively, ( 2 ) individual differences in psychological constructs or traits of personality, ( 3 ) social attitudes, and ( 4 ) development of personality and its relation to social adjustment and mental health. The following four points were found to be current research trends in personality studies, and their future directions are discussed. First, studies using meta-analysis or the secondary use of big data increase our understanding of personality traits, and further investigations using these methods are expected. Second, there were many studies related to a construct or a trait of personality multidirectionally, and the integration of these studies are needed. Third, it is important to investigate attitudes toward various social problems. Fourth, an emergence of studies focus-ing on the promising research themes of relationships among personality, social adjustment and metal health were found.","PeriodicalId":162011,"journal":{"name":"The Annual report of educational psychology in Japan","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124405287","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Evidence-based decision making is required for choosing appropriate test accommodations. The purpose of this article is to present guidelines for practice and directions for future research on test accommodations. A review of recent studies revealed that extended examination time is effective for students with developmental disabilities. Using personal computers for essay examinations is effective only if a student ' s typing skills are sufficient. Some research showed that it might take longer to take an examination with presentation accommodations such as larger print. Separate room accommodation is effective for some students but negatively effects others. Individual differences may be the reason for inconsistent research results and for making the selection of test accommodations difficult. Careful assessment of functional impairment is necessary for both practice and research.","PeriodicalId":162011,"journal":{"name":"The Annual report of educational psychology in Japan","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122774688","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
