First, we discuss the importance of Japanese clinical psychologists sharing common opinions on mental health, because “authorized clinical psychologists” were the first to be certified on a national level in 2018. Next, we provide an overview of the main trends and issues of the symposium and conference presentations from The 61st Annual Meeting of the Japanese Association of Educational Psychology, and also review the contents and points of value of 65 articles from seven main psychological journals representative of the five main clinical practice fields. The selected criteria included having helpful contents to maintain and increase mental health and meriting social recognition. Finally, three points of view are discussed as being necessary to understand when seeking mental health: acquisition and acceptance, good interaction of a unit and groups, and security for mental, physical and self-direction.","PeriodicalId":162011,"journal":{"name":"The Annual report of educational psychology in Japan","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116459873","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}

Therefore, studies to understand artistic processes and to support art learning could provide insights about the essential nature of human activities such as creativity, artistic expression, imagination, inspiration, communication with symbols, and flexible learning. This paper reviews psychological studies on artistic processes, such as artistic creation and art appreciation, including art learning, which were mainly published during the past ten years. There is a substantial number of psychological studies stemming from the cognitive approach that focus on the mechanism of artistic creation conducted in Japan. There has especially been an accumulation of studies on the development of ideas and skills, as well as mastery as an artist. Being stimulated by the development of neuroscience research, psychological studies on art appreciation are becoming popular in recent years. On the other hand, although there are various types of art learning programs conducted in schools and museums, the number of psychological studies focusing on art learning and art education is still limited. Future research that closely connects the findings from psychological studies of artistic processes with studies of art programs that aim at fruitful art learning and inspiration is needed.","PeriodicalId":162011,"journal":{"name":"The Annual report of educational psychology in Japan","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127165572","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}

Second, the author reviews longitudinal research on personality traits, and discusses how personality trait changes are explained by the social investment principle and changes in self-concept clarity, volition, and sense of adjustments. Third, the author reviews identity process research and discusses the longitudinal relationships between identity processes and psychosocial problems and the specific characteristics of identity processes in Japan. Fourth, the author reviews longitudinal research in mutual development between personality traits and identity processes and discusses how directions of association between personality traits and identity processes are different depending on developmental stages. Fifth, the author proposes the \" personal investment principle \" which explains the development of personality traits in adolescence.
