Ambiguity and beauty: Japanese-German cross-cultural comparisons on aesthetic evaluation of haiku poetry
Interaction between creation and appreciation: How linguistic art creation impacts the aesthetic evaluation of haiku poetry and ink paintings
In the psychology of aesthetics, compared with appreciation, there are fewer studies on art creation. This study aims to examine the influence of art creation on appreciation using haiku poetry with reference to the Mirror Model—a process model combining creation and appreciation. Although the model has been primarily used to examine visual arts, we examine its applicability to linguistic arts. In addition, we use ink painting to examine whether …
Comparison of ambiguity and aesthetic impressions in haiku poetry between experts and novices
Developing and validating the Japanese version of the situational Awe cale (SAS-J)
The experience of awe, an emotional response to vast stimuli overwhelming ones’ current mental structure, has often been measured using a questionnaire method. The purpose of the present study was to develop and validate the Japanese version of the Situational Awe Scale (SAS), which is a useful tool for measuring awe experiences from the perspective of the discriminability between positive- and threat-awe. The present study investigated the facto…

Ambiguity Tolerance Can Improve through Poetry Appreciation and Creation
Ambiguity tolerance is an individual trait indicating low aversion to ambiguity that is closely related to creativity. Appreciation and discussion of art are known to improve ambiguity tolerance, but the effects of appreciation and discussion have not been studied separately. In this study, we used haiku poetry with the characteristic of ambiguity to confirm the effect of appreciation by separating it from the discussion. Additionally, we conduct…
Development and Validation of Japanese Versions of the Interoceptive Accuracy Scale and Interoceptive Attention Scale
Physical sensations arising from within the body are collectively referred to as interoception. This study aimed to develop and validate Japanese versions of the Interoceptive Accuracy Scale (IAS) and Interoceptive Attention Scale (IATS) that measure subjective indices of interoceptive accuracy and attention. To test our newly developed scales, we asked two groups of participants, 281 (Mage = 40.74, SDage = 8.75; 143 women, 137 men, 1 non-binary)…
Brain imaging provides insights about the interaction between instruction and diagram use for mathematical word problem solving
Diagram use is generally considered an effective strategy in solving mathematical word problems, and many teachers demonstrate the use of this strategy when they are teaching. Despite such demonstrations, however, the majority of students evidence poor, ineffective use of diagrams in problem solving. This may be due to a lack of task-appropriate instruction, but to date, there is inadequate evidence to support this idea. Therefore, the present st…
Relationships between right-wing authoritarianism and spirituality in Japan
Awe liberates the feeling that “my body is mine”
Awe is an emotional response to perceptually vast stimuli that transcend one's current frames of reference. Previous research indicated that awe promotes a smaller self, which led to the creation of a small-self hypothesis. Thus, we shed new light on this hypothesis in terms of sense of body ownership using a rubber hand illusion experiment; through it, we showed that awe evokes an increased sense of body ownership over the rubber hand and this e…
Exploring the Multidimensional Links Between Trait Mindfulness and Trait Empathy
Empathy and mindfulness are currently major topics of scientific interest. Although it is well-known that mindfulness-typically as an outcome related to meditation-generates empathy at the state level, only a small number of studies have documented the trait (i.e., personality) level association between mindfulness and empathy. Furthermore, the underlying mechanisms (subcomponents and mediator variables) that support this association remain uncle…
Neural representations of awe: Distinguishing common and distinct neural mechanisms
Awe is an emotional response to perceptually vast stimuli that transcend one's current frames of reference. The psychological form and function of awe differ between two types: positive-awe, which arises from perceptually aesthetic experiences (e.g., the beauty of nature, spiritual experiences, or the virtue of a leader), and threat-awe, which is triggered by threatening stimuli (e.g., natural disasters, wrathful god, or a leader's coercive chari…
A Possible Mechanism of Stress-Relieving Effects of Spousal Presence and Implications for Future Infant Cry Research
SYNOPSISInfant crying is one of the parenting stressors, and our research suggests that the presence of spouse has a stress relieving effect in mothers with high attachment anxiety. Its mechanism is, however, still unclear. Here we will discuss the possible mechanism again corresponding to the commentaries. First, we briefly review the difficulties that individuals with high attachment insecurity face in parenting situation and discuss the possib…
Spousal Presence Modulates Salivary α-Amylase Responses to Infant Cry in Mothers With High Attachment Insecurity
SYNOPSISObjective: Infant cry, a major stressor for caregivers, is one of the leading triggers of child abuse. The present study examined the effects of spousal support, spousal presence, and the possible moderating effect of attachment insecurity on individuals’ subjective and physiological responses to infant cry. Design: Thirty-one healthy mothers (M age = 36 years) and their spouses participated in an infant crying paradigm, where mothers wer…
