This study aims to investigate the relationship between students' achievement goals and what they prefer as “personalized problems” in computer-adaptive tests. We theoretically contrast achievement goals with developing competency through mastery and demonstrating competency through performance goals. We asked elementary and secondary school students to work on a computer-adaptive test and to complete questionnaires about what they prefer as “personalized problems” in computer-adaptive tests. The results revealed that while mastery goals positively predicted preference for challenging problems, performance goals positively predicted preference for problems that guaranteed students’ success. Moreover, only the preference for challenging problems positively predicted the intention to take computer-adaptive tests in the future. These results suggest that simply introducing a computer-adaptive test into the classroom may not be effective. We discuss how educational technologies should be integrated into human teaching activities.</p>","PeriodicalId":46699,"journal":{"name":"Japanese Psychological Research","volume":"66 2","pages":"154-165"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jpr.12485","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139247154","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}

This study developed a Japanese version of the Emotion Beliefs Questionnaire (EBQ‐J) and examined its reliability and validity. A total of 317 participants were surveyed (212 women, 98 men, 7 not indicated; mean age: 20.06 ± 2.84 years). A preliminary survey was conducted with 23 undergraduate students to develop a draft of the Japanese version. The results confirmed the face validity of the measurement. The first cross‐sectional survey examined descriptive statistics, structural validity, internal consistency, construct validity, and gender differences in measurement scores. The second, short‐term longitudinal and cross‐sectional survey evaluated the test–retest reliability and construct validity. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the EBQ‐J had a four‐first‐order‐factor and two‐second‐order‐factor structure. The results were consistent with the original EBQ. The measurement demonstrated good internal consistency, moderate to excellent test–retest reliability, and partially verified construct validity. The EBQ‐J could assess emotion beliefs across positive and negative emotions and explain emotion regulation processes.","PeriodicalId":46699,"journal":{"name":"Japanese Psychological Research","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139247201","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These social signals have been acquired evolutionarily, and reports suggest that emotions are recognized to some extent in a culturally universal pattern. It has also been suggested that an observer's approach or avoidance responses toward the expressor occur at the initial stage of emotion perception. However, such approach–avoidance reactions have hitherto been examined mainly in response to facial expressions and not bodily postures. Therefore, this study examined approach–avoidance responses to anger and fear as visualized through facial expressions and bodily postures. The study sample comprised 58 university students. The results showed that, as in a previous study, approach responses to fear and avoidance responses to anger were dominant in both facial expression and bodily posture conditions. This suggests that bodily posture and facial expression are social signals that can elicit an approach–avoidance response from the observer.</p>","PeriodicalId":46699,"journal":{"name":"Japanese Psychological Research","volume":"66 4","pages":"454-461"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jpr.12487","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139260113","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}

Although previous speed‐dating studies identified physical attractiveness, earning prospects, and reciprocity as predictors of romantic attraction, few such studies have been conducted outside Europe or North America. The current speed‐dating study examined what factors would predict attraction ratings by potential partners among the Japanese—an understudied sample. Participants included 27 men and 28 women who first completed a questionnaire to measure individual attributes. During each speed‐dating session, 12–15 men and women talked for 3 minutes and evaluated each opposite‐gender participant on attraction and dating intentions. Results of the social relations model showed that men evaluated women who were more physically attractive and achieved higher education as more attractive. These results imply that men tend to generalize their first impressions of women's physical attractiveness to other aspects of the partner, and that Japanese men may consider dual income as a necessity for marriage.","PeriodicalId":46699,"journal":{"name":"Japanese Psychological Research","volume":"63 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139260385","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Editorial: Psychological Science of Interoception","authors":"Keiko Ishii,&nbsp;Hideki Ohira","doi":"10.1111/jpr.12477","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1111/jpr.12477","url":null,"abstract":"&lt;p&gt;Interoception, which denotes the sensory connection between the body and the brain regarding the internal state and visceral organs (Sherrington, &lt;span&gt;1948&lt;/span&gt;), is gaining increasing attention among researchers. It serves a vital role in maintaining homeostatic operations and bodily control while also providing the foundation for mental processes and emotional responses. This underscores the close interconnection and responsiveness among brain function, mental processes, and internal physiological condition (Barrett, &lt;span&gt;2017&lt;/span&gt;; Craig, &lt;span&gt;2015&lt;/span&gt;; Damasio, &lt;span&gt;2018&lt;/span&gt;). Interoception is considered a multidimensional construct that encompasses objective, subjective, and metacognitive aspects. These include interoceptive accuracy, indicated by performance in behavioral tests, such as heartbeat detection; interoceptive sensibility, measured through self-reported questionnaires; and interoceptive awareness, which refers to the alignment between objective interoceptive accuracy and subjective confidence (Garfinkel &amp; Critchley, &lt;span&gt;2013&lt;/span&gt;). Evidence on interoceptive neural circuits at the neuroanatomical and functional levels has been accumulating but remains limited, as highlighted in a recent special issue of &lt;i&gt;Trends in Neurosciences&lt;/i&gt; (“The Neuroscience of Interoception”). For a summary of gaps and challenges in the field, refer to Chen et al. (&lt;span&gt;2021&lt;/span&gt;) in the cited special issue. Additionally, the full impact of recent developments in the understanding of interoception in psychological science is not yet fully elucidated. Hence, the goal of this special issue of &lt;i&gt;Japanese Psychological Research&lt;/i&gt; was to showcase recent empirical and theoretical advancements in psychological research on interoception. Consequently, the three articles featured in this special issue have tackled significant topics concerning the cultural foundations of self, attentional focus, and effortful control.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ubukata et al. (&lt;span&gt;2023&lt;/span&gt;) investigated cultural variations in interoceptive accuracy. Previous findings on these cultural differences were limited and somewhat contradictory: Although some evidence has suggested lower levels of interoceptive accuracy in East Asians and Western Africans compared to European Americans (Chentsova-Dutton &amp; Dzokoto, &lt;span&gt;2014&lt;/span&gt;; Ma-Kellams et al., &lt;span&gt;2012&lt;/span&gt;), another line of research reported no cultural differences (Maister &amp; Tsakiris, &lt;span&gt;2014&lt;/span&gt;). By implementing more refined task instructions aimed at addressing specific measurement issues that affect interoceptive accuracy, Ubukata et al. (&lt;span&gt;2023&lt;/span&gt;) demonstrated that Japanese participants were more skilled at detecting heartbeats than their European counterparts. Grounded in self-construals and the distinct analytic versus holistic thought patterns that characterize various cultures, Ubukata et al.

The majority of articles followed a single‐case design, and there has been an increase in the number of articles published over the last few decades. The participants' ages and genders were similar across different countries. Only 20.2% of participants were diagnosed with SM; 31.7% had comorbidities, with SM symptoms being the most common complaint. The most common intervention program was a weekly hour‐long treatment session and less than a year of intervention. About half of the participants used assessment tools, with 21.6% reporting a quantitative outcome. The most commonly used intervention methods were behavioral therapy and play therapy.

We recruited 673 students and 119 futoko students from secondary schools and educational support centers. The results showed that the bifactor model had better fit, proposing a general (G) factor representing avoidance motivation and an orthogonal specific (S) factor representing psychological distress. We then examined the measurement invariance and continuity of the latent bifactor construct of the FSQ, correlations of the FSQ with external variables, and measurement reliability to validate the FSQ. Our findings highlight the need to focus on students’ mental state prior to the emergence of absence behaviors and the significance of the present scale in theory and practice.","PeriodicalId":46699,"journal":{"name":"Japanese Psychological Research","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136298783","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
