Psychometric validation of the WHO-5 and WHO-4 well-being index scales for assessing psychological well-being and detecting depression in Japanese school-aged children: A community-based study
Introduction: The 5-item World Health Organization Well-Being Index (WHO-5) is widely used to assess psychological well-being, but its psychometric properties in younger populations, particularly in non-Western settings, remain underexplored. This study aimed to assess the validity and reliability of the Japanese version of the WHO-5 (WHO-5-J) and a culturally adapted four-item version (WHO-4-J), which excludes a culturally sensitive item ("I hav…
Examining the comorbidity network of Internet addiction and depression: The role of effortful control on their bridge symptoms in adolescents
The study revealed differences in bridge symptoms linking IA and depression between male and female students. Our findings provide valuable insights for understanding the comorbidity mechanisms of IA and depression in adolescents. Further research using a longitudinal study design is warranted to identify the directionality between EC and bridge symptoms
Psychometric Validation of the Japanese Version of the Child and Adolescent Social Support Scale ( CASSS ) in Early Adolescents 1 , 2
Social support in children and adolescents is fundamental for preventing mental health problems. Differences in sources and types of social support may lead to differential effects on psychosocial outcomes; however, tools to assess these differences are lacking in Japan. The present study investigated the reliability and validity of the Japanese version of the Child and Adolescent Social Support Scale (CASSS) in 1,068 students aged 9–15 years. A …
Longitudinal association between addictive internet use and depression in early adolescents over a 2-year period: A study using a random intercept cross-lagged model
Although addictive internet use (AIU) and depression frequently co-occur in early adolescents, the mechanism accounting for their co-occurrence remains unclear. The aim of the present study was to clarify the longitudinal reciprocal relationships between AIU and depression in early adolescents. We employed a random intercept cross-lagged model to examine the longitudinal reciprocal relationships between AIU and depression in a sample of the early…
The Role of the Maternal and Child Health Handbook in Developmental Surveillance: The Exploration of Milestone Attainment Trajectories
Despite the pivotal role of developmental surveillance in pediatric practice for the early detection of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), there are several barriers, including scarcity of time and staff availability, to its implementation. Additionally, inadequate parental knowledge on what to expect about their child's development contributes to potential delays in the early identification of NDDs. Home-based records (HBRs) are widely used in…
Atypical Sensory Processing Profiles and Their Associations With Motor Problems In Preschoolers With Developmental Coordination Disorder
The aims of this study were to identify sensory processing profiles specific to preschoolers with DCD in a community sample and examine the association of sensory processing problems with motor coordination difficulties in these children. Sixty-three 5-year-old children with DCD and without other neurodevelopmental disorders and 106 age-matched typically developing children participated in this study. Sensory processing problems were assessed usi…
The Traditional Enjoyment of Noted Natural Places in Urban South Korea
Records indicate the existence of noted natural places, where several people from various classes used to enjoy the natural environment in a part of present-day city of Seoul during the Korean Dynasties period. This study aimed to clarify the traditional methods of enjoying noted natural places in South Korea’s urban areas by classifying the relationship between the method of enjoyment and the locations of the noted natural places, including thei…

The Arts Track at TEI 2015 explored sensory connections among people and the world around them. An international jury of artists, designers, and educators selected evocative, thought-provoking, and experientially rich pieces ranging from full-room installations to wearables and performance-based art. The pieces selected for the exhibit demonstrate not only technological novelty but also formal sophistication, conceptual creativity, and engagement…
Utilizing the Cyberforest live sound system with social media to remotely conduct woodland bird censuses in Central Japan
We have developed a system that streams and archives live sound from remote areas across Japan via an unmanned automatic camera. The system was used to carry out pilot bird censuses in woodland; this allowed us to examine the use of live sound transmission and the role of social media as a mediator in remote scientific monitoring. The system has been streaming sounds 8 h per day for more than five years. We demonstrated that: (1) the transmission…
Assessment of Japanese Stimulant Control Law Offenders Using the Addiction Severity Index—Japanese Version: Comparison with Patients in Treatment Settings
The present study assessed problems in Japanese prisoners (inmates) who abused methamphetamine. Fifty-two male inmates were assessed in 2005-2007 using the Addiction Severity Index-Japanese version and compared with 55 male methamphetamine abusers in hospitals and recovery centers. The chi(2) and Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon tests showed that the inmates had a significantly lower education level, more frequently had full-time jobs, had more experience l…
