JOURNAL FREE ACCESSIn this study, the effect of two factors ; the quantity of instructions (how much information should be included) and the quality of instructions (what kind of information should be included) for evoking phobic responses through imagery in desensitization were examined. In the experiment, subjects were asked to imagine phobic scenes, after they were given the two types of instructions described by Lang (1977), added sensational information (cue) categorized 1) as Stimulus-Proposi tions, 2) as Response-Propositions. Physiological responses (HR, ST, SCR) and the ratings of ima gery (Easiness, Detail, Intensity, Fear) were used as dependent variables. The results showed that, when the instructions included sensational information categorized as Response-Propositions, subjects reported more vivid imagery and showed more physiological changes while imaging. However, no significant effects of these variables on the quantity of information were found. Based on these resulcs, it is suggested that careful consideration should be given to the factor of quality, more than to the quantity of information included in instructions that are designed for evoking phobic responses with imagery.View full abstractDownload PDF (733K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe Eating Disorder Inventory-91 (EDI-91) was developed by Garner et al. as a tool for the assessment of the multidetermined psychosocial, cognitive, and behavioral characteristics associated with eating disorders. In order to standardize the Japanese versicn of the EDI-91, 514 healthy females (age 12-36) in the Tokyo metropolitan area were assessed by a newly translated 91-item EDI and the Eating Attitude Test (EAT). Factor analysis was conducted in order to ascertain whether the 11 original subscales described by Garner et al. were applicable to a Japanese group of normal subjects. Correlational analysis was performed between scores on each factor and the EAT. The results showed that 6 factors (34. 48% of variance ; Cronbach alpha = O. 74-0. 89) consisting of 68 items were retained. Different patterns of factor loadings from the original were found. Factor 1 consisted of 13 items from mainly, "Drive for Thinness" and "Bulimia" ; factor 2, "Body Dissatisfaction" ; factor 3, "Impulse Regulation", "Interoceptive Awareness", "Social Insecurity", and "Ineffectiveness" ; factor 4, mainly, "Maturity Fears" ; factor 5, "Social Insecurity" and "Interpersonal Distrust" ; factor 6, "Asceticism", "Perfectionism", "Ineffectiveness", and "Interoceptive Awareness". The finding showed that there was a significant correlation between scores on each factor and the EAT.View full abstractDownload PDF (817K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe purpose of this study was to examine the effect of contingency between bodily symptom and aversive situation on the attention to bodily symptom and on the symptom perception. Under four separate experimental conditions varying the contingent pattern of aversive situation, twenty subjects (9 men and 11 women) underwent experimental tasks in which they pedaled bicycle ergometer adjusting to intermittent tone. Subjects paid more attention to their heart rate during the condition in which occurrence of aversive situation was contingent on "Racing heart" (HR-con condition) than in the other three conditions. Although the level of actual heart rate in the HR-con condition was not different from the level of that in the other conditions, subjects perceived "Racing heart" more frequently in the HR-con condition than in the other conditions.View full abstractDownload PDF (781K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSA subject, mentally retarded child, received training with the purpose of developing her textual behavior as regards "the Chinese characters indicating busses' destinations". The subject could not go to school independentlly because of lack of textual behavior regarding these characters. At baseline I, she had not acquired the textual behavior at all. At baseline II, however, the suject's response was 100% correct. A generalization test and a post check proved possibility of applying to daily life and maintenance of the textual behavior. It would be suggested that she is going to school independently often a short term training in an actual situation.View full abstractDownload PDF (994K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSIn this paper, an intervention process for a 4-years-old kindergarten refusal boy is reported. A client had intense anxiety for interacting with other children, for some daily living behaviors, and had symptoms of selective mutism. These problems were considered to social skills and self-control skills deficit. Initially he was trained to acquire play skills in order to shape readiness for kindergarten attendance. Because existence of therapists was regarded as counter-response to anxiety, then he was exposed to various stimulus in In-Vivo settings with therapists. Finally his attendance time was extended gradually. After kindergarten attendance and conversation with other children was acquired and maintained, the intervention was ended. It was concluded that exposure in In-Vivo situation was effective for anxiety.View full abstractDownload PDF (1171K) -
