This study is to investigate, by the labora ory experiment, the effect of leaders' LPC scores and success vs. failure on group process. The subjects of this experiment are girls of senior high school in Japan. Each experimental group, composed of 4 girls, is assigned to discuss cases on problem behavior of youth. The conditions of success vs. failure were operated by the experimenter's false feedback that the outcome of group discussion was evaluated by specialists. The informal leader of each group was defined by the socio-metric item, in which members made entry after the experimental session. The main results of this experiment, on the base of responses to questionnaire items filled in, by the members except the informal leaders, are as follows;
(1) The group memlbers led by high LPC leaders, rate their own group atmosphere more favorably in successful coditions than in failure conditions. The members under low LPC leaders, however, describe their own group atmosphere to be slightly more favorable in failure conditions than in successful ones.
(2) The group members led by high LPC leaders, are more satisfied with the information given by the experimenter on the case, in successful conditions than in failure ones. Neverthless, the members under low LPC leaders express more satisfaction with the information in failure conditions than in successful ones.
(3) Group cohesiveness is generally higher in successful conditions than in failure conditions.

This study was a preliminary investigation of nonverbal communication in Japanese subjects. Sixteen males and 16 females were interviewed by one of two male confederates. The confederates were described and dressed as either high or equal status persons and assumed either a forward lean or a backward lean during the four minute interview. Tape and video recordings were analyzed across a wide spectrum of non-verbal behaviors emitted by the subjects during the interview. Both status and body lean variables effected a variety of dependent measures, particularly for female subjects. A factor analysis of the non-verbal behaviors produced some unexpected results which have implications for similar studies done in other cultures.

In a 2×3 factorial experiment, subjects were given stimulant suggestion or depressant suggestion with an inactive placebo, and then were engaged in mirror drawing test under the leadership condition of P type, M type or, as control condition, non P-M type. In the condition of depressant suggestion, subjects who had been supervised by P type leadership performed significantly better on the mirror drawing test than did subjects who had been supervised by M type or non P-M type. On the other hand, in the condition of stimulant suggestiop, subjects who had been supervised by M type leadership performed better, but in tendency, than did subjects who had been supervised by P type or non P-M type. It was discussed that when depressant suggetion and P multiplied each other, there would be effects resembling PM situations, and the same depressant suggestion and M multiplied each other, there would be effects resembling M.

This study was designed to investigate the effects of fear arousal, sex and anxiety predisposition of Ss on attitude change. The Ss were 868 college students. Experimental groups were exposed to fear-arousing communications on syphilis which recommended to take a blood test, and they were asked to respond to both of before and after questionnaires.
The main rerults were as follows: (1) High fear communication produced greater effects on attitude and behavior change than low fear communication. (2) There was found the interaction. effect between fear level and anxiety on attitude change. Low anxiety Ss were equally influenced in the high and low fear condition, but as level of anxiety predisposition of Ss increased, high fear communication incresed attitude change and low fear communication decreased attitude change. (3) Female Ss were more influenced by fear communications than male Ss, and the sex difference on influenceability was more clear in the high fear condition.
Most of these results was interpretable with the emotional and cognitive responses of Ss to fear situation.
