    The Set of 9 facial stimuli that were constructed in accordance with a two-dimensional perspective of emotions, pleasantness and degree of activation, were used. Preliminary study (n=122) collected the rating data about emotional meanings of these expressions. Results were roughly consistent with the previous findings. In the main experiment, Japanese participants (n=52) observed a briefly presented photograph of facial expressions ranging from 4ms to 64ms in its duration. Results showed that relative to the neutral face, the facial expressions of emotion could be perceived more easily in the brief exposure duration. Especially, expressions depicting highly activated emotions such as surprise and excitement were perceived more easily than faces expressing moderately or low activated emotions. These findings were also confirmed in the dual scaling analysis. Confusions among expressions (e. g., perceiving the fear as the surprise) occurred among adjacent expressions in a two-dimensional space of emotion.

    "Expressivity halo effect" (Bernieri, Gillis, Davis, & Grahe, 1996) refers to the phenomenon which observers' rapport judgments are influenced by target expressivity regardless of the social context. This study examined expressivity halo effect in conversations about emotional episodes. In study 1, the validity of the expressivity halo effect on a Japanese sample was tested. Study 2 suggested that the scores of observers' judgments of rapport between interactants were higher during conversations about positive emotional episodes in which expressions were facilitated, than for conversations about negative emotional episodes in which expressions were inhibited. In study 3, expressivity halo effect was thought to increase the gaps between interactants and observers' judgments. The accuracy of the observers' judgments was poorer for conversations about negative emotional episodes than for conversations about positive emotional episodes.

    This study investigated the reasons as to why children come to hate school. The Dislike of School Scale (20 items) for children was developed and administered to 708 elementary school students (1st grade through 6th grade). Initial evidence of construct and factorial validity of the School Disagreeable Scale were found.
    Exploratory factor analysis suggested that the Dislike of School Scale was composed of 4 dimensions; "Apathy, " "Educational anxiety, " "Dissatisfaction with teacher, " and "Relationships with friends." The Dislike of School Scale displayed satisfactory levels of internal consistency.
    Finally, the relationship between scores on the Dislike of School Scale by class and by teacher also suggested support for the validity of the scale.
