    Open AccessOsamu Kobori, Akemi Kataoka et al.ARTICLEJapanese Psychological Research2026

    Obesity stigma remains prevalent leading to damaging effects for those who experience it. This study investigated how information on the cause of obesity affects obesity stigma in a Japanese sample. Seventy‐eight participants assessed an individual with obesity in terms of perceived warmth and competence, motivation to lose weight, and the probability of losing weight. Thereafter, they reevaluated the person after reading about one of the three p…

  • Knowledge of the risks associated with being underweight and body shape differences among young Japanese women

    Open AccessMariko Ogawa, Michiko Nakazato et al.ARTICLEBioPsychoSocial Medicine2025

    Background In Japan, approximately 20% of young women are underweight, a rate higher than that of other developed countries. For women, being underweight at a young age has been associated with amenorrhea, eating disorders, osteoporosis, and adverse pregnancy outcomes. We investigated young women’s knowledge of these risks and associated factors. Methods A web-based survey was conducted among 984 Japanese women aged 18–29 years. The survey includ…

  • Atypical social cognition processing in bulimia nervosa

    Open AccessRio Kamashita, Rikukage Setsu et al.ARTICLEBioPsychoSocial Medicine2024

    BACKGROUND: Feeding and eating disorders are severe mental disorders that gravely affect patients' lives. In particular, patients with anorexia nervosa (AN) or bulimia nervosa (BN) appear to have poor social cognition. Many studies have shown the relationship between poor social cognition and brain responses in AN. However, few studies have examined the relationship between social cognition and BN. Therefore, we examined which brain regions impac…

  • Increased Subjective Distaste and Altered Insula Activity to Umami Tastant in Patients with Bulimia Nervosa

    Open AccessRikukage Setsu, Yoshiyuki Hirano et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2017

    The aim of this study was to examine differences in brain neural activation in response to monosodium glutamate (MSG), the representative component of umami, between patients with bulimia nervosa (BN) and healthy women (HW) controls. We analyzed brain activity after ingestion of an MSG solution using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in a group of women with BN ( n = 18) and a group of HW participants ( n = 18). Both groups also provid…

  • A Questionnaire Survey of the Type of Support Required by Yogo Teachers to Effectively Manage Students Suspected of Having an Eating Disorder

    Open AccessKaoru Seike, Hisashi Hanazawa et al.ARTICLEBioPsychoSocial Medicine2016

    BACKGROUND: Many studies have focused on the decreasing age of onset of eating disorders (EDs). Because school-age children with EDs are likely to suffer worse physical effects than adults, early detection and appropriate support are important. The cooperation of Yogo teachers is essential in helping these students to find appropriate care. To assist Yogo teachers, it is helpful to clarify the encounter rates (the proportion of Yogo teachers who …

  • A questionnaire survey regarding the support needed by Yogo teachers to take care of students suspected of having eating disorders (second report)

    Open AccessKaoru Seike, Michiko Nakazato et al.ARTICLEBioPsychoSocial Medicine2016

    The lowering of the age of onset and chronicity have been key problems related to eating disorders (EDs). As the proportion of teens in the estimated onset ages has increased, it has become important to detect students with EDs and to clarify how they can be supported. Though epidemiological surveys of Yogo teachers (school nurse/health science teachers) have been conducted to inquire about the number of such students, none of these were done acc…

  • How parents suspected of child maltreatment change their cognition and behavior

    Open AccessKota Takaoka, Fumitake Mizoguchi et al.ARTICLEChildren and Youth Services Review2016References: 14

    Although considerable efforts have been made to improve relationships between professionals and parents suspected of child maltreatment, little research has been conducted to examine the ways in which parents escalate their negative cognition and behavior involving professionals. This study developed a model of parents' negative reinforcement of their cognitive behavior and the factors influencing reductions in this reinforcement. Interview data …
