Changes in Social Relationships after Participation in a Group Intervention for Japanese Patients with Cancer
Studies of group interventions on social relationships among patients with cancer have suggested that such interventions can increase patients' social support and help build social support networks, which are expected to reduce the sense of loneliness among them. The purpose of this study was to qualitatively investigate the relationships between participation in group therapy and social relationships among patients with cancer. Seven participant…
Help-seeking behavior in difficult situations among long-term care facility staff
Although help-seeking research is useful to improve the quality of dementia care and mental health of care staff, most studies have focused on family caregivers. The details of help-seeking behavior among care staff remain unclear. This study investigated the features of help-seeking behavior among staff working in long-term care facilities. Two online surveys were conducted, targeting individuals working in long-term care facilities in Kinki Reg…

Tweet Analysis for Enhancement of Covid-19 Epidemic Simulation
The COVID-19 pandemic, which began in December 2019, progressed in a complicated manner and thus caused problems worldwide. Seeking clues to the reasons for the complicated progression is necessary but challenging in the fight against the pandemic. We sought clues by investigating the relationship between reactions on social media and the COVID-19 epidemic in Japan. Twitter was selected as the social media platform for study because it has a larg…
Knowing minds
How does culture influence the ways in which individuals reflect upon their knowledge of others’ mental states? We addressed this question in a two‐study cross‐cultural investigation examining perceptions of mental state access in the United States and Japan. Study 1 ( n = 100) revealed that American participants reported greater mental state access than did Japanese participants. Study 2 ( n = 146) showed that both Americans and Japanese perceiv…
Cross-Cultural Differences in the Valuing of Dominance by Young Children
Developmental research suggests that young children tend to value dominant individuals over subordinates. This research, however, has nearly exclusively been carried out in Western cultures, and cross-cultural research among adults has revealed cultural differences in the valuing of dominance. In particular, it seems that Japanese culture, relative to many Western cultures, values dominance less. We conducted two experiments to test whether this …
A Review of Posttraumatic Growth and Help‐Seeking Behavior in Cancer Survivors
Recent studies have shown that cancer survivors experience severe psychological distress, but some also experience personal growth, known as posttraumatic growth ( PTG ). Help‐seeking behavior ( HSB ) is critical for cancer survivors to better cope with stress and possibly experience PTG . The existing theoretical models of PTG and HSB assume that cancer survivors, regardless of their cultural background or personality, will receive benefit from …
Young children's early sensitivity to linguistic indications of speaker certainty in their selective word learning
Pragmatic development in L1, L2, L3
Developing sensitivity to the sources of information
Children's understanding of certainty and evidentiality
In verbal communication, the hearer takes advantage of the linguistic expressions of certainty and evidentiality to assess how committed the speaker might be to the truth of the informational content of the utterance. Little is known, however, about the precise developmental mechanism of this ability. In this chapter, we approach the question by elucidating factors that are likely to constrain young children's understanding of linguistically enco…
Semantics and pragmatics of a Japanese discourse marker dakara (so/in other words)
Pragmatic criteria for reference assignment
In the study of reference assignment, the question of what pragmatic criteria are used to evaluate the resulting interpretation seems not yet to have been properly dealt with. This paper addresses the issue by examining factors which affect the acceptability of various cases of bridging reference. It demonstrates that even highly successful accounts of reference assignment which place major emphasis on accessibility factors, e.g. the accessibilit…
