What types of pets associate with well-being of their owners in Japan
Background : Research findings on the relationship between pet ownership and well-being are inconsistent. One reason for this inconsistency is inadequate differentiation between pet types. Numerous studies have focused only on dogs and cats, failing to examine the effects of owning less common pets. Another reason for the inconsistency is the insufficient control of individual differences among respondents, such as demographic variables. This stu…
Minimal social interactions and subjective well-being in the Japanese context
Minimal social interactions are brief interactions with non-intimates or strangers. A previous study claimed that minimal social interactions improve subjective well-being and that this effect is mediated by an enhanced sense of belonging. However, the previous study is based on a small sample of participants, and no other studies have attempted to replicate the mediation process thus far. The present study examined the mediation process based on…
Maximizing Tendency Predicts Delayed Marriage Among Japanese Adults
The present study examined whether maximizing tendency predicts Japanese adults' likelihood of getting married and their age at first marriage. Registered members of a survey company panel ( n = 428) completed the Japanese version of the Relational Maximization Scale, which was used to assess maximizing tendency consisting of two factors. The first factor, “high standards,” was not related to either of the two variables under investigation. The s…
Changes in core network size in Japan
Extroversion and neuroticism affect the right side of the distribution of network size
Two ways to overcome social uncertainty in social support networks
Many findings of previous research have supported the predictions of the emancipation theory of trust ( Yamagishi, 2011 ) in experimental settings. Although the key concept of the theory is social uncertainty, few studies of the concept have been conducted in natural settings. In the present study, we operationally defined social uncertainty by comparing kin and nonkin relationships. We analyzed survey data representative of the Japanese populati…
Effects of Global Information Feedback on Diversity
Based on Axelrod's adaptive culture model, the effects of the distribution of global information feedback are examined in two simulations. The first model is the generalized other model, where the most preferred features are hypothesized to represent the mental model of the most ordinary person and have the same influential power as real neighbors. The second model is the filter model, where neighbors are influential only when their traits are co…
