特性推論の統合モデルと修正モデルの比較 －認知的負荷による対応バイアスの減少

This research compared two dispositional inference models. The correction model （Gilbert, Pelham, ＆ Krull, 1988）hypothesizes that processing situational information requires more cognitive resources than the initial dispositional process. The integration model（Trope ＆ Gaunt, 2000）does not hypothesize prominent differences between these processes. This study used an ulterior-motive condition（Fein, 1996）for this comparison. Using an assigned-essay paradigm（Jones ＆ Harris, 1967）, this study demonstrated that the correspondence bias is weakened by cognitive load when situational information is quite available. This result is not consistent with the correction model and supports the integration model. The implications of this finding were discussed

Scale development and validation of perimenopausal women disability index in the workplace

Background: Menopausal disorders include obscure symptomatology that greatly reduce work productivity among female workers. Quantifying the impact of menopause-related symptoms on work productivity is very difficult because no such guidelines exist to date. We aimed to develop a scale of overall health status for working women in the perimenopausal period. Methods: In September, 2021, we conducted an Internet web survey which included 3,645 female workers aged 45–56 years in perimenopausal period. We asked the participants to answer 76 items relevant to menopausal symptomatology, that were created for this study and performed exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses for the scale development. Cronbach’s alpha, receiver operating characteristic analysis, and logistic regression analysis were used to verify the developed scale. Results: Approximately 85% participants did not have menstruation or disrupted cycles. Explanatory factor analysis using the maximum likelihood method and Promax rotation identified 21 items with a four-factor structure: psychological symptoms (8 items, α = 0.96); physiological symptoms (6 items, alpha = 0.87); sleep difficulty (4 items, alpha = 0.92); human relationship (3 items, alpha = 0.92). Confirmatory factor analyses found excellent model fit for the four-factor model (RMSR = 0.079; TLI = 0.929; CFI = 0.938). Criterion and concurrent validity were confirmed with high correlation coefficients between each of the four factors, previously validated menopausal symptom questionnaire, and Copenhagen Burnout Inventory scales, respectively (all ps < 0.0001). The developed scale was able to predict absenteeism with 78% sensitivity, 58% specificity, and an AUC of 0.727 (95%CI: 0.696–0.757). Higher scores of each factor as well as total score of the scale were more likely to be associated with work absence experience due to menopause-related symptoms even after adjusting for Copenhagen Burnout Inventory subscales (all ps < 0.0001). Conclusion: We found that the developed scale has high validity and reliability and could be a significant indicator of absenteeism for working women in perimenopausal period

Data_Sheet_1_Online harassment of Japanese celebrities and influencers.PDF

Famous people, such as celebrities and influencers, are harassed online on a daily basis. Online harassment mentally disturbs them and negatively affects society. However, limited studies have been conducted on the online harassment victimization of famous people, and its effects remain unclear. We surveyed Japanese famous people (N = 213), who were influential people who appeared on television and other traditional media and on social media, regarding online harassment victimization, emotional injury, and action against offenders and revealed that various forms of online harassment are prevalent. Some victims used the anti-harassment functions provided by weblogs and social media systems (e.g., blocking/muting/reporting offender accounts and closing comment forms), talked about their victimization to close people, and contacted relevant authorities to take legal action (talent agencies, legal consultants, and police). By contrast, some victims felt compelled to accept harassment and did not initiate action for offenses. We propose several approaches to support victims, inhibit online harassment, and educate people. Our findings help that platforms establish support systems against online harassment.</p

Organizational climate with gender equity and burnout among university academics in Japan

We investigated relationships between the perception of organizational climate with gender equity and psychological health among 94 women and 211 men in a Japanese private university in 2015 using the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (i.e., personal, work-related and student-related burnout). Perceptions of organizational climate with respect to gender equity were measured with two scales including organizational engagement with a gender equal society in the workplace (consisting of three domains of 'Women utilization', 'Organizational promotion of gender equal society' and 'Consultation service'); and a gender inequality in academia scale that had been previously developed. Multivariable linear models demonstrated significant statistical interactions between gender and perceptions of organizational climate; 'Women utilization' or lack of 'Inequality in academia' alleviated burnout only in women. In consequence of this gender difference, when 'Women utilization' was at a lower level, both personal (p=.038) and work-related (p=.010) burnout scores were higher in women, and the student-related burnout score was lower in women when they perceived less inequality in academia than in men (p =.030). As such, it is suggested organizational fairness for gender equity may be a useful tool to help mitigate psychological burnout among women in academia

A randomized prospective comparison of the Baxter and Modified Brooke formulas for acute burn resuscitation

Background: Starting infusion at a rate based on the Baxter formula is the global standard. However, with this infusion formula, an excessive amount of fluid may be stored inside the body (fluid creep), which may lead to severe respiratory disorders or abdominal compartment syndrome. The present study explored whether the Baxter formula or the Modified Brooke formula is more beneficial for resuscitation in extensively burned patients. Methods: The study design was a randomized controlled trial. One group received conventional intervention based on the Baxter formula, and the other received intervention using the infusion method by the Modified Brooke formula. Thirty-nine patients were enrolled in this study by admission to each hospital for 3 years. Of the 39 cases, 3 dropped out according to the study protocol, so 36 cases were analyzed, and 17 patients in the Modified Brooke formula group and 19 in the Baxter formula group were used for the analyses in this study. Results: There were no statistically significant differences between the 2 groups in the age, gender, body weight, burn severity, infusion volume required within 2 days after admission, serum creatinine, and acute kidney injury based on the KDIGO guideline within 48 h after arrival at the hospital, daily P/F ratio within 1 week after hospitalization, survival rate on the 28th day, and discharge survival rate. There were no cases of abdominal compartment syndrome during the observation period. The Modified Brooke formula group failed to achieve the target urine output corresponding to the infusion volume within 8 h after arrival, especially in ≥40% TBSA burn patients, but it did not become a clinical problem. Conclusion: We were unable to conclusively demonstrate that the Modified Brooke formula blocked the occurrence of “fluid creep” in extensively burned patients. However, it was suggested that starting the initial resuscitation at half the conventional volume might contribute to an improved physiological condition in the acute phase of major burns
