The effect of self-esteem on sought infomation structure

Nishisako, Morikami and Kuwabara (1996) indicate that sought information structure consists of the information about present self, the information about future self, the information about others, the information about daily life, the information about society, the information about mystical phenomenon. The purpose of present study was to investigate the effect of self-esteem on the intensity of interest for information. Investigation is carried out by using 160 undergraduate students. The analysis and result were as follows. Firstly, the effect of self-esteem on six each factor of sought information structure was examined by analysis of variance. However, there were no significant main effect. Secondly, the effect of self-esteem on each item of seeked information structure was examined by analysis of variance. The result is that, there were several significant main effects

A qualitative analysis of the seeked information structure

This papar is the first of a series in which the result of a study of seeking information behavior. The purpose of this study is to determine the seeked information structure. In the first investigation with 135 college students, 86 items concerning seeked information were obtained. In the second investigation with 274 college students, factor analysis for 86 item were carried out. The result may be taken to indicate that seekd information structure consists of the information about present self, the information about future self, the information about others, the information about daily life, the information about society, and the information about mystical phenomenon.本研究は，個々の人間が求めている情報の集合を情報興味空間と呼び，その構造を明らかにすることを目的とした．そのために，調査1においては，人がいかなる情報を求めているのかを，135名の大学生を調査対象とし，自由記述により収集した．そして，調査2においては，274名の大学生を被調査者として用い，調査1で得られたプロトコルを因子分析の手法を用いて分析した．その結果，情報興味空間は，現在の自己に関連する情報，将来の自己に関する情報，生活に関連する情報，他者に関連する情報，社会に関連する情報，そして科学的に解明されていない事象に関する情報より構成されていることがみいだされた

The effect of self-consciousness on sought information structure

The purpose of this paper is to describe how self-consciousness has influence on intensity of interest for information. We used a questionnaire for measuring the intensity of interest for information. It consists of items of interest for information about the present self, information about the future self, information about others, information about daily life, information about society, and information about mystical phenomenon. Another questionnaire was used for measuring self-consciousness. It consists of items of private self-consciousness, public self-consciousness, and social anxiety. The investigation was carried out using 160 undergraduate students. The results of investigation show that there were significant differences on intensity of interest for information about the present self and information about others between high and low private self-consciousness. There were also significant differences on the intensity of interest for information about the present self and information about others and information about daily life between high and low public self-consciousness. There were no significant differences on the intensity of interest for information of all between high and low social anxiety.本研究は， Fenigstein,Scheier,&Buss (1975) の自己意識尺度の邦訳版である，岩淵・田渕・中里・田中 (1981) の日本語版自己意識尺度を用いて自己意識特性を測定するとともに，情報に対する興味を同時に測定し，私的自己意識特性，公的自己意識特性および社会的不安が及ぼす効果を検討することを目的とした．その結果，私的自己意識および公的自己意識が特定の情報に対する興味の強さに影響を及ぼすことが認められた．しかし，私的自己意識および公的自己意識のそれぞれの効果に質的な差は認められなかった．また，社会的不安に関してはその効果はほとんど認められなかった

The Situationatity on sought information

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the qualitative differences between high and low intensity of seeking information. We have made three studies. In Study 1, it is shown that seeking items of information can be evaluated in tenns of the degree of intensity. We divided information seeking into low and high intensity of seeking information. In Study 2, we carried out factor analysis on high intensity information seeking. We found eight relevant factors ; information about self, information about profit, information about procedure, information about appearance, information about impossible profit, information about entertainment, information about others, and information about daily life. In Study 3, we carried out factor analysis on low intensity information seeking. As a result, we again found eight factors ; information about love and marriage, information about mystical phenomena, information about daily life, information about society, information about others, information about appearance, information about family, and information about physical things. The implication of research was that seeking information has two qualities : information independent of a given situation and information dependent on a given situation

The Effects of \u27\u27Locus of Control\u27\u27, Self-esteem and Anxiety on the Criterion of Behavior : A Study about the Determination Process of Criterion of Behavior

本研究においては，問題解決空間の規定因をみいだすことを目的として，問題解決空間と，不安，Locus of Control，自尊感情，そして行動規範，それぞれの関係性を分析した．その結果，不安と行動規範，不安と問題解決空間，行動規範と問題解決空間との間に強い関係があることをみいだした．In the present study and the following paper in this series, we propose to examine the determination of the process of criterion of behavior. The purpose of this study is to examine the interrelationship among personal characteristics and the recognition of problems to solve. Investigation is carried out by using 160 undergraduate students. The results suggested that the factors of anxiety, locus of control, self-esteem and criterion of behavior influenced the recognition of problems to solve

The effects of self-consciousness, self-monitoring, empathy, locus of control and justice on the criterion of behavior and the space of problem solving : A study about determination process of criterion of behavior (2)

本研究においては，自己意識特性，セルフモニタリング傾向，共感性，統制感そして公正感といった特性と適切さの基準および問題解決空間との関係を検討するとともに，公正感の低下が自己意識特性，セルフモニタリング傾向，共感性，統制感といった特性とどのように関係して，適切さの基準および問題解決空間に影響を及ぼすのかが検討された.その結果， 1)公的自己意識，感情的暖かさ，感情的冷淡さ，統制感および公正感といった特性が適切さの基準に強く影響を及ぼすこと， 2) 社会的不安および感情的被影響性が問題の認識を強めること， 3) 統制感が低い個人が不公正な事態を認知すると，組織的承認性および生活秩序性に関する基準が低下すること， 4) 統制感の高い個人が不公正な事態を認知すると，性格領域および対人領域において問題をより強く認識する傾向にあることがみいだされた.In a preceding paper，we studied the interrelations between personal characteristics (anxiety，locus of control，self-esteem) and the recognition of problems to solve. The first purpose of this paper is to examine the interrelations between personal characteristics (self-consciousness，self-monitoring，empathy，justice) and the recognition of problems to solve. The second purpose of this paper is to examine the interrelations between personal characteristics (self-consciousness，self-monitoring，empathy，justice，locus of control) and the criterion of behavior. The third purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of lowering of justice on the recognition of problems to solve and the criterion of behavior. Investigation and experiment were carried out by using 200 undergraduate students. The data show that 1) public self-consciousness，emotional warmness，emotional coldness，locus of control and justice regulate the level of the criterion of behavior，2 ) social anxiety and emotional influencability influence the recognition of problems to solve， 3) the lowering of justice lowers the criterion of internal control person，and 4) the lowering of justice increases the recognition of problems of internal control person

An examination of convergency in the structure of seeked information

The purpose of this study is to examine 1) the intensity of interests for information, 2) the effect of sex difference on the intensity of interests for information, and 3) the structure of intensity for information. The data used in this study have been already described elsewhere (Nishisako, Morikami & Kuwahara, 1996). From the analysis of this study, then, it may be concluded: 1) possibility that the intensity of interests for information is regulated by accessibility, involvement, effect, benefits, and ambiguity of judgement is admitted, 2) the factor of sex difference evidently effects on the intensity of interests for information, and 3) the result of the cluster analsis indicates that interests for information can converge procedual knowledge cluster and declatative knowledge cluster
