Effects of Picture Book Reading on Young Children’s Knowledge and Attitudes Toward Animals
Reading picture books to young children is expected to develop their cognition and imagination and contribute to the acquisition of their knowledge of and attitudes toward various things and phenomena. This study created a science picture book about guinea pigs and examined the effects of reading it on young children’s knowledge of and attitudes toward animals. Interviews were conducted with 81 five-year-old kindergarteners (47 boys and 34 girls)…
Mobilizing Japanese Youth
Christopher Gerteis's Mobilizing Japanese Youth: The Cold War and the Making of the Sixties Generation is an accessible book for students and scholars who are interested in the shaping of Japan's 1960s generation. He shows how various nonstate organizations and individuals across the political spectrum made consequential efforts to “influence the political consciousness” and mobilize the first generation born after the end of the Second World War…
Dogs and Cats and Their Relationships with Humans as Depicted in Picture Books
Attitudes toward animals are influenced by childhood experiences with animals. One source of such experiences is provided by picture books. Because the representations of animals in picture books affect attitudes toward animals, it is important to examine how animals are depicted in picture books in order to improve human-animal interactions. Since dogs and cats are particularly familiar to children, it is easy for children to apply representatio…
Conversion in Depictions of Anthropomorphic Animals in Picture Books
Picture books are familiar media for children and have a great influence on children's development. Particularly, narrative picture books contribute to the development of children's imagination and provide the basis of rich cultural life throughout their lives. There are many animals depicted in picture books. Animals in narrative picture books for children often appear anthropomorphized, and depictions of animals sometimes mix real and anthropom…
Quantitative Analysis of Anthropomorphic Animals in Picture Books
Children can have indirect contact with animals daily through media, such as picture books. Picture books can enrich children’s imaginary world and help them develop an adaptive life that can cope with various experiences. Because anthropomorphic animals in picture books are a typical fantasy, they may contribute to the development of relationships between children and animals. Previous studies have mainly focused on children and anthropomorphic …
The United States and the Japanese Student Movement, 1948-1973
The author argues that interactions between the movement and US Cold Warriors had a profound and lasting impact on Japanese society and Japan–US relations
How Ethical Ideologies Relate to Public Attitudes Toward Nonhuman Animals
How ethical ideologies relate to public attitudes toward nonhuman animals is an increasingly prominent topic, yet it has been largely unstudied, particularly in Asian countries such as Japan. Using the Ethics Position Questionnaire ( EPQ ), Animal Attitude Scale ( AAS ), and Animal Issue Scale ( AIS ) in the present study, we examined how ethical ideologies and human demographics relate to public attitudes toward animals from a Japanese cultural …
Challenging the empires from within
This article explores the transpacific anti-imperial solidarity of American and Japanese anti-Vietnam War activists through a focus on the international anti-Vietnam War conference held in 1969 in Tokyo and antiwar activities engaged in by American and Japanese activists in the areas surrounding US military facilities and bases in Japan. By the late 1960s, the transnational alliances of these activists went beyond protesting the Vietnam War and c…
Media and Revolt
Japanese Business Organizations' Level of Familiarity with Assistance Dog Legislation and Their Acceptance of These Dogs in the Workplace
In 2003, Japan passed the Act on Assistance Dogs for Persons with Disabilities, requiring public facilities, public transport, and private businesses serving the general public to allow access for people with physical impairments who use assistance dogs. One purpose of this law is to enable people with disabilities to lead independent and fulfilling lives as active members of society. In order to achieve this goal, the law requires public facilit…
Dog-Resident Interactions in a Japanese Retirement Home
We observed a dog visitation program in a geriatric retirement home in Japan, to obtain quantitative data on the human–dog interactions. Seven volunteer handlers and seven adult pet dogs were divided into two groups. Each group visited the home on one of two activity days each month for 18 months. The program was conducted in a consistent way and the features of it did not change during the course of the study. Five to 12 senior residents, among …
Anthropomorphism in Japanese Women's Status Terms used in Talk to Potential Guide Dogs
Human-Dog Interactions in a Guide-Dog Training Program
We analyzed dyadic interactions between 12 neutered dogs (6 females and 6 males) and 44 humans (20 women, 14 men, and 10 girls) who were unfamiliar with each other. We also examined the effect of sex differences in dogs and humans as well as age differences in humans on human-dog interactions in a guide-dog turning program. Female dogs more actively regulated their distance from humans than male dogs. Dogs made contact with women more frequently …
Cardiac and Behavioral Responses to Humans in an Adult Female Japanese Monkey ( Macaca Fuscata)
The effects of the appearance of a human on the mean arterial blood pressure (BP) and behavior of an adult female Japanese monkey were examined to clarify whether or not the monkey discriminated between men and women, and between caretakers and strangers. Each human (5 male and 6 female caretakers; 5 male and 6 female strangers) sat facing the monkey whose BP was recorded with an unrestrained telemetry system. Behavior of the monkey was recorded …
