As part of multidisciplinary therapy at the pain center, 17 sessions of ACT and two follow-up sessions were provided over approximately 6 months. Outcome measures (chronic pain and fear of cancer recurrence) and process measures (pain acceptance and valued action) were assessed. Outcome measures, including pain intensity, interference, quality of life, and fear of cancer recurrence, and ACT process measures improved after the intervention and at follow-up sessions compared to baseline. Over the treatment course, depression symptoms worsened, which necessitated a leave of absence from work for several months, during which time the patient engaged in intensive ACT. Ultimately, the patient returned to work, resumed her hobbies, and acquired a new habit of exercising, demonstrating changes to her lifestyle as well. The results support the efficacy of ACT in patients with multiple psychological and physical symptoms.</p>","PeriodicalId":46699,"journal":{"name":"Japanese Psychological Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jpr.12422","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79527454","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}

Studies have focused on how this strategy can affect health in the face of adversity. However, that children learn this strategy from positive role models, such as parents, is an unexamined precondition of the theory. This study presents one bit of supporting evidence for this precondition by examining the similarity in S-P among parent–child dyads using the actor-partner interdependence model. We also examine parent and child strategies related to depressive tendencies based on mixed results in relevant research. The results from 309 parent–child pairs indicate that shifting and persisting tendencies and depressive tendencies were similar among the parent–child pairs. Furthermore, regardless of their socioeconomic status, the parents' and children's persisting scores predicted lower levels of depressive tendencies as actor effects. Although this study does not fully support S-P theory, it provides important insights regarding similar patterns of strategic tendencies between parents and children and highlights the importance of positive role models.</p>","PeriodicalId":46699,"journal":{"name":"Japanese Psychological Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jpr.12421","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85885646","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}

Concurrently, it has become clear that vulnerability to COVID-19 depends on the underlying social system and individual attitudes toward authority. For instance, many Japanese people may note that Americans protesting the government's COVID-19 restrictions and vaccine mandates claim freedom of choice, reflecting the dominant cultural value of individualism in U.S. society. Similarly, the cultural norm of collectivism is associated with people's acceptance of public health interventions (e.g., Lu et al., <span>2021</span>, regarding mask usage). In the <i>2021 World Happiness Report</i>, Sachs (<span>2021</span>) noted how cultural values influence health and preventive behavior.</p><p>Over the past 30 years, cultural psychologists investigating mutual relationships between culture and the mind have demonstrated culturally sanctioned aspects of the self, motivation, emotion, cognition, and so on (e.g., Cohen &amp; Kitayama, <span>2019</span>). With a growing body of evidence for cultural influences on health, the pandemic will hasten progress toward health research taking insights from a cultural psychological approach. While the 12 articles in the current special issue will not directly address the battle against COVID-19, we believe they will prove timely and suggestive for a better understanding of culture's role in health, given the focus on personal responsibility in the present period of crisis and uncertainty.</p><p>In the opening invited article, Miyamoto and Ryff (<span>2022</span>), two leading researchers in the field of culture and health, showed the theoretical and empirical relationships between culture and health. In “Culture and Health: Recent Developments and Future Directions,” they discussed the relationship between culture and health using publicly accessible comparable datasets from Midlife in the United States (MIDUS) and Midlife in Japan (MIDJA). They first reviewed the accumulated evidence on cultural influences on health. Next, they introduced both a micro perspective on biological factors and a macro perspective on socioeconomic inequalities and how these affect the link between culture and health. The review concluded by focusing on the changing historical context surrounding these cross-cultural investigations and the effect of growing economic inequality across cultures on the COVID-19 pandemic.</p><p>The other original papers in this issue can broadly be divided into three categories: “clinical–cultural psychology,” “cultural psychology with cross-cultural experimental datasets,” and “more global approaches using comparative cultures.” First, in the clinical area, in the article entitled “Japanese Clinical Psychologists' Consensus Beliefs about Mental Health: A Mixed-Methods Approach,” Sunohara et al. (<span>2022</s","PeriodicalId":46699,"journal":{"name":"Japanese Psychological Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jpr.12420","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78916270","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}

In Study 1, confirmatory factor analyses for Japanese versions of the scales resulted in bi-factor structures comprising one general factor and two subfactors; namely, creative self-efficacy (CSE) and creative personal identity (CPI). However, the Japanese version of the SSCS (SSCS-J) was essentially unidimensional, and scoring based on CSE and CPI lacked support. Therefore, it was necessary to calculate the total SSCS-J item scores to measure the creative self. Study 2 provided evidence for the concurrent, convergent, and discriminant validity of the scale.

First, a free-listing technique with 16 Japanese CPs was conducted to elicit salient terms for the two domains: (a) how members of the general public acquire beliefs about mental health; and (b) how Japanese mental healthcare ought to be reformed. In the second phase, CCA was conducted through a survey completed by 100 CPs. The free-listing analysis generated 21 and 23 culturally salient terms for the two domains, respectively. Then, CCA demonstrated that the two domains could each be characterized as a single cultural model with a high degree of consensus.
