This study reviewed the trends of studies on educational and social psychology that were presented at the 56th annual meeting of the Japansese Association of Educational Psychology. However, specific changes in the trends of studies were not observed. This study particularly reviewed only those trends on educational and social psychology that were published in Japanese Journal of Educational Psychology. These studies decreased in proportion to a drop of papers published in Japanese Journal of Educational Psychology. Additionally, this study reviewed the trends of studies on educational and social psychology published in Japan over the last year by focusing on four central topics : (1) teacher and class, (2) adjustment, (3) social skills and sociability, and (4) interpersonal relationships. Future subjects for research were considered from the aspect of importance of educational and social psychology in the Japanese Association of Educational Psychology.
