  • Occupational differences in the association between work engagement and brain gray matter volume

    Open AccessKeisuke Kokubun, Kiyotaka Nemoto et al.ARTICLECurrent Psychology2026

  • The Brain that Understands Different Cultures

    Open AccessKeisuke Kokubun, K Nemoto et al.ARTICLEJournal of Cultural Analysis and…2025

    In today's world of increasing globalization, the importance of cultural intelligence (CQ), a necessary ability for cross-cultural adaptation, is becoming more and more recognized. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to clarify the relationship between brain microstructure and CQ. In this study, we analyzed the relationship between fractional anisotropy (FA) of the posterior thalamic radiation (PTR), inferior cerebellar peduncle (ICP), and fo…

  • The brain that understands different cultures

    Open AccessKeisuke Kokubun, Kiyotaka Nemoto et al.ARTICLEActa Psychologica2025References: 5

    In today's world of increasing globalization, the importance of cultural intelligence (CQ), a necessary capability for cross-cultural adaptation, is becoming more and more recognized. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to clarify the relationship between brain structure measured by gray matter volume (GMV) and CQ. Using data from 310 healthy men and women collected in Japan, we investigated whole-brain and regional GMV and Metacognitive, Mot…

  • Cultural and emotional intelligence correlates with healthy lifestyles

    Open AccessKeisuke Kokubun, Kiyotaka Nemoto et al.ARTICLEActa Psychologica2025Cited by: 3References: 6

    A healthy lifestyle is essential to prevent illness and live a happy life. Previous research has shown that social intelligence, such as emotional intelligence (EQ) and cultural intelligence (CQ), is related to a healthy lifestyle. However, there are fewer studies that clarify the relationship between CQ and lifestyle compared to EQ and lifestyle, and the relationship between the facets that make up these intelligences and lifestyle is also uncle…

  • What kind of emotional intelligence enhances what kind of cultural intelligence

    Open AccessKeisuke Kokubun, Kiyotaka Nemoto et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2025References: 4

    With the increase in international immigration for the purposes of overseas assignments and study abroad, emotional intelligence (EQ) and cultural intelligence (CQ), which are known as predictors of cross-cultural adjustment, are receiving increasing attention. However, very few studies have used both, especially their aspects, simultaneously, so the relationship between them is unclear. Considering that CQ is a capability mainly enhanced in cros…

  • Incorporating “kawaii-ness” into your life may increase gray matter volume in the putamen and frontal gyrus

    Open AccessKeisuke Kokubun, Kiyotaka Nemoto et al.ARTICLEActa Psychologica2024References: 4

    Interest in kawaii-ness is growing day by day around the world. However, the relationship between the brain and kawaii-ness remains unclear. Previous studies have revealed how adults' brains respond to infants, but there is little research into the relationship between non-infant objects that have kawaii-ness and the brain, particularly its structure. Therefore, in this study, using data from 182 healthy men and women, including 90 participants f…

  • The link between the brain volume derived index and the determinants of social performance

    Open AccessKeisuke Kokubun, Yoshinori Yamakawa et al.ARTICLECurrent Psychology2023

    Motivation, defined as the energizing of behavior in pursuit of a goal, is a fundamental element of our interaction with the world and with each other. Furthermore, as it is known that cooperation leads to higher levels of performance than do individual conditions, empathic concern is also crucial to all forms of helping relationships. A growing number of studies indicate that motivation and empathy are associated not only with organizational per…

  • The Impact of Work Characteristics on Social Distancing

    Open AccessKeisuke Kokubun, Yoshinori YamakawaARTICLEInternational Journal of…2021

    The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) continues to spread globally. While social distancing has attracted attention as a measure to prevent the spread of infection, some occupations find it difficult to implement. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the relationship between work characteristics and social distancing using data available on O*NET, an occupational information site. A total of eight factors were extracted by performing an explora…

  • Social Capital Mediates the Relationship between Social Distancing and Covid-19 Prevalence in Japan

    Open AccessKeisuke Kokubun, Yoshinori YamakawaARTICLEINQUIRY The Journal of Health…2021

    The threat of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is increasing. Regarding the differences in the infection rate observed in each region, additionally to studies investigating the causes of differences in population density as a proxy for social distancing, an increasing trend of studies investigating the causes of differences in social capital has also been seen (ie, value sharing, acceptance of norms, unity, and trust through reciprocity). However, …
