Modesty has been found to encompass three aspects: avoidance of attention-seeking (AA), self-effacement (SE), and other-enhancement (OE). The current study validated the Modest Behavior Scale and examined age and gender differences in the three aspects of modesty in a sample of adults aged 20–69 years. A total of 400 Japanese individuals participated in the online survey. The results of hierarchical multiple regression analyses and simple slopes analyses revealed that older people tend not to seek attention but also not to devalue themselves, whereas younger people tend to devalue themselves but not to refrain from seeking attention. This implies that people in different age groups use different modesty strategies. In addition, gender differences were found in AA and OE.

The sample comprised young athletes from various sports types. Participants provided self-reports of their perceptions of their coaches' behaviors, and their sport commitment and sport motivation. Cluster analyses revealed three coaching style profiles: Cluster 1 were coaches with a “low coaching style,” including those who lacked an autonomy-supportive and those with a low controlling coaching style. Cluster 2 was labeled “Supportive coaching style” and represented coaches who were more apt to be autonomy-supportive and less controlling. Cluster 3 was a “Controlling coaching style” and included coaches who demonstrated a low autonomy-supportive and a high controlling style. Compared with athletes in Cluster 3, athletes in Clusters 1 and 2 reported higher levels of adaptive motivation and commitment variables. Thus, youth athletes perceived three clusters of coaching styles (Low coaching style, Supportive coaching style, and Controlling coaching style), and these profiles were associated with varying levels of athletes' motivation and commitment to sport.</p>","PeriodicalId":46699,"journal":{"name":"Japanese Psychological Research","volume":"68 4","pages":"678-691"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2026-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jpr.12548","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149177005","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fear of being single (FOBS) is a potential cause of this anxiety, characterized by distress about the idea of being single and assessed through the FOBS Scale. In the current study, the FOBS Scale was adapted into Turkish. The study included 349 individuals aged 28–55 years (<i>M</i> = 23.63 years, <i>SD</i> = 6.45 years). The reliability and validity of the measure and the associations with particular variables were investigated for the first time in the cultural context of Turkey. The confirmatory factor analysis revealed an acceptable model fit for the single-factor structure. Measurement invariance of the scale across relationship status was supported at configural and metric levels, but not at the scalar level. The convergent and divergent validity analyses indicated that FOBS is distinct from generalized anxiety, attachment anxiety, and the personality trait of neuroticism. FOBS was found to be related to the need to belong but not to the inclusion of close others into the self. It has been determined that FOBS is a distinctive phenomenon, and the Turkish version of the FOBS Scale is a valid and reliable tool for assessing FOBS in Turkey.</p>","PeriodicalId":46699,"journal":{"name":"Japanese Psychological Research","volume":"68 4","pages":"801-814"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2026-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jpr.12540","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149177584","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The themes underlying social issues are connected to the moral foundation of Haidt's moral foundations theory. Accordingly, these foundations appeal to individuals' subjective approval of their moral foundations. The treated water issue is related to the purity foundation; thus, the present study aimed to investigate the role of the purity foundation on the support for the treated water issue by collecting data from 1,291 Japanese participants immediately after the first discharge of treated water. To measure the purity-related concept, the Purity Orientation–Pollution Avoidance Scale (POPA) was employed. The results of our multiple regression analysis showed a negative association for the Mental Purity subscale and a positive association for the Respect for Religion subscale of POPA. The different aspects of Japanese purity highlighted by POPA are discussed.

When comparing perspectives where the suspect is visible (suspect-focused), the detective is visible (detective-focused), and both are visible (equal-focused), the perceived voluntariness of a confession was greatest under the suspect-focused condition and lowest under the detective-focused condition. However, research conducted under the Japanese recording style by Nakata et al. (2018), using a dual-presentation format, yielded inconsistent results, possibly because of insufficient statistical power. To address this issue, our study investigated the occurrence of CPB under the Japanese recording style with sufficient power. In Experiment 1, we aimed to replicate Nakata et al.'s (2018) study using the same mock interrogation materials. In Experiment 2, we aimed to replicate the original study conducted under the Japanese recording style. However, we did not find any evidence supporting the presence of CPB.

In intergroup conflicts, where most group members engage in some type of aggressive behavior towards out-group members (out-group aggression), individuals are predicted to conform to other in-group members engaging in out-group aggression. In this study, we defined out-group aggression that was a result of conformity to in-group members as “conformity-based out-group aggression” and examined its emergence and the possibility that being observed by in-group members (in-group audience) strengthens such out-group aggression in an experimental setting. We conducted an online experiment with 108 Japanese undergraduates. The results showed that when their in-group members engaged in out-group aggression, participants perceived a stronger pro-aggression norm and exhibited more intense out-group aggression.

Landmark availability was manipulated by varying the distance between the two tables. The results revealed that both children and adults tended to use an egocentric FoR, which increased with age. The frequency of an allocentric FoR was greater in the short-distance condition, which had more available landmarks, than in the long-distance condition.

This paper presents the findings of a study that utilized an A-B-A single-case research design to explore the impact of CBT on enhancing internal locus of control and reducing Internet gaming addiction. The participants in this study were three high school students (<i>N</i> = 3) who exhibited a high level of Internet gaming addiction and a predominantly external locus of control.

Treatment focused on modified cognitive distortion and developing positive behavior using the down arrow technique, acting as if, shaping, problem-solving, and behavior reinforcement. Participants completed the Game Addiction Scale for Adolescents and the Locus of Control Scale for Game Addiction.
