Effect of recalling past moral / immoral actions on prosocial intentions : A replication experiment

　This study examined the moral-licensing effect and the compensation effect of immoral actions, as a replication of Jordan, Mullen, & Murnighan （2011）. The hypothesis suggested that people who recalled past moral actions reduced prosocial intentions as compared to control conditions, whereas people who recalled immoral actions increased prosocial intentions as compared to the control condition. As a result of the experiment, the hypothesis was not supported. The author discussed the implications of these findings and draw avenues for future research.本研究では、Jordan et al.（2011）study 2 の追試として、モラル・ライセンシング効果及び非道徳的 行動における補償効果について検討を行った。仮説は、過去の道徳的行動を想起した人は統制条件に比 べて、向社会的意図を減少させる一方で、非道徳的行動を想起した人は統制条件に比べて、向社会的意 図を増加させると予測した。実験の結果、仮説は支持されなかった。仮説が支持されなかった理由につ いて考察がなされた

Relationship between female university students’ hairstyle preferences and their personalities

　Since it could hardly be said that sufficient studies on hairstyle have been done in the field of social psychology, basic research on hairstyle is considered to be required. In this study, we conducted a research on hairstyle of female university students to investigate the relationship between their preferences on hairstyle, personalities, and values. Consequently, we found that they preferred unlayered, long hair with bangs and that most of them actually had such a hairstyle. Since it was suggested that their preferences on hairstyle was affected by bangs, layers, and hair length, we examined the difference between their personalities caused by these differences and their values. As a result, we found that part of their personalities and values differed depending on their hairstyle of bangs, layers, and hair length

The abc Conjecture of the Derived Logarithmic Functions of Euler’s Function and Its Computer Verification

Regarding Euler’s (totient) function, for an arbitrary number n > 1, there exists a k that possesses the characteristic where φk (n) = 1. In this case, if k is expressed as L(n) for n, then L possesses the characteristic of being perfectly logarithmic. For this L, we (Yamashita, Miyata) have provided the following L version abc conjecture. Conjecture: When a, b, and c are relatively prime, numbers are natural, and a + b = c, then max{L(a), L(b), L(c)} < 2∙L(rad (abc)) is feasible. This paper describes the properties of L and presents verification that this conjecture is correct up to 109 using a computer experiment. We also note that the abc conjecture recently considered solved by Prof. Mochizuki at Kyoto University is different from the conjecture presented here

The effect of regulatory-focus induced by cheering on performance

　This study examined the effect of regulatory focus on a personal performance induced by a group cheering. In this experiment, 50 participants were asked to solve a maze task under the condition where they receive the cheering support. Promotion focus supporters were instructed to cheer the participants with words of encouragement to draw a positive consequence, whereas the prevention focus group supported the participants with preventive words to avoid a negative consequence. The results revealed that the participants’ regulatory focus was affected by the cheering words of supporters. Also, prevention-focused participants resolved the maze task faster and accurately than those under the promotion-focus condition.本研究の目的は、他者からの応援によって制御焦点が誘導されるのか、さらに誘導された制御焦点が パフォーマンスにどのような影響を及ぼすのかを検討することであった。実験では、応援者の応援の内 容を操作し、応援を受けた参加者の制御焦点、及び迷路課題のパフォーマンスを測定した。その結果、 ポジティブな結果への接近を志向させる内容の応援を受けると促進焦点が、ネガティブな結果の回避を 志向させる応援を受けると予防焦点が喚起されることが示された。また、予防焦点型の応援が迷路課題 におけるパフォーマンスを促進することが明らかとなった

The relationships among dream recall, imagery, and boundary in the mind

　本研究では，夢想起とイメージ及び心的境界の関連について検討することを目的とした。イ メージ想起に関わる特性として鮮明性と統御性，心的境界として境界の脆さと曖昧さ，夢想起 に関わる側面として頻度，鮮明性，内容，感覚モダリティを取り上げた。 　大学生にQuestionnaire upon Mental Imagery の短縮版（QMI；Sheehan, 1967），Test of Visual Imagery Control（TVIC；Gordon, 1949），日本語版境界尺度（JBQ；児玉，2013），夢 想起に関する尺度（岡田，2000）を実施し，全ての項目に回答が得られた198名のデータを分析 対象とした。境界尺度に関しては，「境界の脆さ」と「意識された境界の曖昧さ」について７ 項 目ずつ抽出したため，因子分析を行った。結果，因子１ 「意識された境界の曖昧さ」６ 項目， 因子２ 「境界の脆さ」４ 項目，計10項目を以降の分析に用いた。 　分析の結果，夢想起の鮮明性はイメージの鮮明性（QMI）及び心的境界と有意な正の相関が 認められた。同様に，イメージの鮮明性（QMI）はイメージの統御性（TVIC）及び心的境界 と有意な正の相関が認められた。また，イメージの鮮明性の高群が低群に比べて夢想起の鮮明 性が有意に高いことが示された。したがってイメージと心的境界及び夢想起の関連性，なかで も夢想起の鮮明性とイメージの鮮明性，心的境界の関連性が示唆された。　The purpose of this study was to discuss the relationships among dream recall, imagery, and boundary in the mind. Frequency, vividness, contents and sensation modality as the aspects relating to dream recall; vividness and controllability of imagery; fragility and ambiguity as boundary, were dealt with in this study. Undergraduates were administered with the following questionnaires：Questionnaire on Dream Recall Frequency, the short version of Questionnaire upon Mental Imagery （QMI）, Test of Visual Imagery Control（TVIC）, Japanese Boundary Questionnaire（ JBQ）. The data of 198 undergraduates who answered all question items were subject to the analyses. Regarding JBQ, seven items had been selected and used in this questionnaire survey respectively for “boundary fragility” and “consciousness ambiguity of boundary”, based on which results factor analyses were performed. The ten items in total - six items for“ consciousness ambiguity of boundary” as the factor 1 and four items for“ boundary fragility” as the factor 2 - were used for analyses thereafter. The analyses revealed a significant positive correlation between the vividness of dreams and the vividness of imagery（ QMI） as well as the vividness of dreams and boundary. Further, the results indicated that the group of subjects with the higher imagery vividness demonstrated the significantly high vividness of dreams compared to that with the lower imagery vividness. Our results suggest that imagery, boundary in the mind and dream recalls were related with each other and that the vividness of dreams, in particular, had a correlation with the vividness of imagery and boundary respectively

Generalization of unit structure analysis of the input-output table

本論文の目的は，尾崎巌教授によって定式化された産業連関表のunit structure 分析を一般化することである．ここで，産業連関表のunit structure とは，ある 産業i で1 単位の最終需要が生じた時，その需要を満たすために必要な中間財の 産業間の取引構造のことを意味する．例えば，自動車産業の単位構造についてい えば，自動車を1 台生産するために必要な中間財の産業間取引構造を示すことに なる．そのため，全ての産業の最終需要に応じて生み出される中間財の産業間取 引構造にくらべると，1 つの産業の最終需要1 単位によって生み出された中間財 の産業間取引構造を示しているため，その産業の固有の産業間取引構造を明らか にすることができるという長所がある．しかし，尾崎はある産業のunit structure を示したが，他の産業の単位構造や産業全体との関係に関しては，触れていない． そのため，unit structure 分析の適用範囲が限定されてしまうことになった．も し，unit structure 分析の一般化ができるならば，その応用が広がることが期待 できることになる． そこで，本論文では，unit structure 分析を一般化し，さらに産業連関表の競 争輸入型の輸入外生モデルと，競争輸入型の輸入内生モデルについてのunit structure について定式化する．The purpose of this paper is to generalize the unit structure analysis of the input-output table formulated by Pro. Iwao Ozaki. Here, the unit structure of the input-output table means the transaction structure between industries of intermediate goods necessary for satisfying the demand when one unit of final demand occurs in a certain industry i. For example, with regard to the unit structure of the automobile industry, it will show the interindustry transaction structure of intermediate goods necessary to produce one car. Therefore, as compared with the inter-industry trading structure of intermediate goods generated according to the final demand of all industries, it shows the inter-industry transaction structure of intermediate goods produced by one unit of final demand of one industry There is an advantage that it is possible to clarify the inter-industry transaction structure unique to the industry. However, Ozaki showed the unit structure of an industry, but I did not mention about the unit structure of other industries and the relationship with the whole industry. Therefore, the scope of application of unit structure analysis was limited. If generalization of unit structure analysis is possible, it can be expected that its application will be expanded. Therefore, in this paper, we generalize unit structure analysis and further formulate the unit structure of the competitive imported exogenous model of the input-output table and the imported endogenous model of the competitive import type
