The aims of the present study were to compare the experimental method with the preparatory research method, in the study of such situations as bringing shame, and to make clear the sigrificances of the two method in the research of the problem of emotion.
(1) In a situation that “a pupil listens to his own voice recorded facing his friends for the firsttime,” about half of all pupils in the second year of primary school showed emotion of shame, and the percentage increased by year. Number of thosewho showed “γ” behaviorsuch as looking down, lying on face on the desk or covering face with hand), that is considered as a physical reaction of shame, increased “markedly” with the advance of year. Some other behavior patterns which were seen similarly in the lower grades increased with the advance of year, and the features of behavior become clear.
(2) If we look upon “γ” behavior as a physical reaction to shame, we can say that it is not until about the second year of middle school that “γ” behavior accords with the real experience of shame; girls are quickei than boys in such an accordance of reaction and real experience.
(3) Investigation of the same experimental situations by means of “constitutiontest,” and the comparison of the results of the two experiments on “γ” behavior and the rate of these accordance showed that the reaction-percentage resulted from the former research was much lower than that of the experimental test.
Judging from these facts, we find that the results of the research on emotion show only a general tendency of reaction in the group and that they have no significance as to the real aspects that bring emotion.
As emotion is a complex process of dynamics based on mental set, attitude and objective situation, an experimental method may play an important part in the solution of these problems.
