Maternal education and the intergenerational transmission of birthweight
BACKGROUND: Birthweight is a key indicator of health capital, influencing long-term outcomes such as education, income, and adult health. Previous studies have examined both its determinants and consequences, showing that low birthweight is associated with poor health, limited schooling, and lower socioeconomic status later in life. However, the pathways of birthweight's intergenerational transmission remain insufficiently understood, particularl…
Nationalism and military policies in an age of increasing risks – a comparative analysis of Japan and Israel
Nationalism can significantly affect how military operations are perceived and conducted. Israel faced military risks since its establishment, while Japan has enjoyed peace for 70 years, but recent geopolitical changes have heightened perceptions of military risk. We therefore conducted a survey to examine how Japanese participants evaluate military policies and personal attributes. The results reveal a positive relationship between nationalism a…
Covid-19 vaccination, preventive behaviours and pro-social motivation
The COVID-19 vaccine reduces infection risk; even if one contracts COVID-19, the probability of complications such as death or hospitalisation is lower. However, vaccination may prompt people to decrease preventive behaviours, such as staying home, washing hands, and wearing a mask. Therefore, if vaccinated people pursue only self-interest, the vaccine’s effect may be lower than expected. However, if vaccinated people are pro-social (motivated to…
Psychological motivations for collectivist behavior
This paper explores the psychological motivations behind collectivist behavior in Japan and the U.S. Using data from a large-scale questionnaire survey, we examine the causes of collectivist behavior (i.e., group conformity) at workplaces and at home. Our key findings are as follows: (i) in Japan, people conform to their groups, both at work and at home, because they consider that cooperation with others will result in greater achievement; (ii) i…
The Willingness to Pay for a Hypothetical Vaccine for the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (Covid-19)
This study investigates how people in Japan perceived the severity of and probability of infection from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), and how their willingness to purchase a hypothetical vaccine depends on these perceptions and their risk attitudes. We conducted a large-scale panel survey three times between 13 March to 13 April 2020 in Japan. By analyzing the data, we found that the perception of COVID-19 became more serious. The estimati…

Extraversion and life satisfaction
OBJECTIVE: Previous research on Extraversion and life satisfaction suggests that extraverted individuals are more satisfied with their lives. However, existing studies provide inflated effect sizes, as they were based on simple correlations. In five studies, the authors provide better estimates of the relationship between Extraversion and life satisfaction. METHOD: The current study examined student and nationally representative samples from Cana…

Are maximizers unhappier than satisficers? A comparison between Japan and the USA
Cultural variations in global versus local processing
We conducted 3 studies to explore cultural differences in global versus local processing and their developmental trajectories. In Study 1 (N = 363), we found that Japanese college students were less globally oriented in their processing than American or Argentine participants. We replicated this effect in Study 2 (N = 1,843) using a nationally representative sample of Japanese and American adults ages 20 to 69, and found further that adults in bo…
Weather and Individual Happiness
This paper investigates the influence of weather on happiness. While previous studies have examined climatic influence by comparing the well-being of people living in different regions, this paper focuses on how daily changes in weather affect individuals living in a single location. The dataset consists of 516 days of data on 75 students from Osaka University. Daily information on outside events, as well as the daily physical condition and indiv…
