Joint Effect of Accuracy Nudge and Warning Label Interventions on Intention to Share Covid-19 Misinformation
The spread of misinformation is a growing problem, particularly in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Implementing multiple psychological interventions simultaneously is a potential approach to countering misinformation, but little is known about the effectiveness of combined interventions. Based on accuracy nudge theory, which posits that inattention to accuracy is the primary driver of misinformation sharing, we hypothesized that accuracy nudges a…
A Life-Stage Comparative Study of the Psychosocial Care Burdens and Needs of Middle-Aged and Older Family Carers in Home Care
Population aging has increased reliance on family carers, whose psychosocial burdens and support needs vary by life stage. This exploratory study aimed to compare psychosocial care burdens and support needs between middle-aged family carers (MFCs) and older family carers (OFCs) providing home-based care in Japan from a life-stage perspective. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among family carers registered with a community general support ce…
Incidence of depressive symptoms and their associations with lifestyle and social support networks among community-dwelling older adults
BACKGROUND: Primary prevention of depressive symptoms among independent older adults is a critical public health challenge. Lifestyle factors and social support networks are increasingly recognized as pivotal determinants of mental health in this population. However, few longitudinal studies have examined these relationships, and little attention has been directed to gender-based differences. We investigated the associations between lifestyle fac…
Examining Loneliness
(1) Background: Loneliness is inherently linked to social connections, with interpersonal communication playing a pivotal role. Despite this connection, limited research exists on the relationship between loneliness and communication among young adults. This study investigates the correlation between face-to-face, telephone, and online communication frequencies and loneliness among individuals in their 20s. (2) Methods: Using a dataset from a nat…
Effects of the valence and argument substantiveness of others’ comments on viewers’ validation of and attitudes toward pseudo-scientific claims
This study examines how the valence and argument of comments affect viewers’ attitudes toward and validation of a pseudo-scientific claim. We developed and tested a hypothesized model based on the elaboration likelihood model. Participants watched a video that introduced pseudo-scientific claims with others’ comments on the same screen. We assigned participants (n = 646) to a control condition with no message presentation and a message condition,…
Tenth-Century Religious Beliefs and Practices in the Teishinkōki
This paper examines Buddhist services in the Teishinkōki 貞信公記, the diary of Fujiwara no Tadahira (880–949), covering public (those of the imperial court in which he participated in a professional capacity) and private services
Early Heian Period Shuzen 修善
After the arrival of Buddhism, shuzen 修善 (“cultivating good acts”) was encouraged in Japan and its merits were preached. In the Rikkokushi 六国史, compiled from the late eighth to the early tenth century, shuzen meant the reading of sūtras, making donations, enabling persons to take the tonsure, and so on. Also in the same text shuzen for the elimination of misfortune was sometimes combined with repentance for transgressions. However, in Fujiwara no…
Mortality Salience and Mobile Voice Calling
Observational studies have found that the frequency of mobile communication with close ties increases in times of emergency. However, the mechanisms underlying such increases are not well understood. Drawing upon terror management theory, this study predicted that increased mortality salience due to disaster promotes mobile voice calling to close ties. By analyzing digitally traced behavioral data, Study 1 found that mobile voice calls to close t…
The Development of Shuzen during the Late Heian Period
In Fujiwara no Michinaga’s 藤原道長 Midō kanpaku-ki 御堂関白記 and Fuijwara no Sanesuke’s Shōyū- ki 小右記, diaries written in the second half of the tenth to the first half of the eleventh century, shuzen 修善 refers to esoteric Buddhist rituals (shuhō 修法) for worldly benefits
Dietary Intake Quality Is Affected by Knowledge and Dietary Intake Frequency among Pregnant Women in Muntinlupa, Philippines
Improving the nutrition of pregnant women is essential in reducing maternal and child mortality, which is one of the global nutritional goals of 2025. This study evaluated the factors related to the quality of dietary intake among pregnant women in Muntinlupa, Philippines. We conducted a cross-sectional study of 280 pregnant women at a hospital in Muntinlupa from March 2019 to August 2019 using questionnaires. After the primary aggregation, multi…
Shūzen 修善 During the Late Heian Period
This paper aims to make clarify the meaning of the term shūzen 修善 when used by late Heian period (794–1185) aristocracy. I consider the term in Fujiwara-no-Michinaga’s 藤原道長 Midō kanpaku ki 御堂関白記 and Fujiwara-no-Sanesuke’s 藤原実資 Shōyū ki 小右記
Subjective Usefulness and 6-Year Mortality Risks Among Elderly Persons in Japan
Several studies have demonstrated that the loss of a sense of one's own self-worth has an influence on the health status, psychological functioning, and quality of life in the aged. We used longitudinal data from 784 elderly residents (mean age = 73 years) to examine the relationship between subjective usefulness and 6-year mortality. We hypothesized that subjective usefulness is an important indicator of quality of life among the elderly populat…
