    The purpose of this study is to visualize large and complex psychological data to render it more easily understood. We have developed, and have been enhancing a web counseling system. During development, counselors need to grasp the user’s situation and formulate psychological data. However, the data are highly varied, and it is very difficult to compare among them, as well as to extract features from them. To cope with these problems, it is useful and helpful to visualize data. Thus, we propose visualizing the psychological data to 3D graph. The 3D display is implemented in a spiral shape using the Processing project. In this study, our 3D spiral display was used to visualize users’ data from the web counseling system, and the data from the personality test (GHQ28, S-H Resilience and Uchida-Kraepelin Test) .

      Blocking phenomena, calculation stop for several seconds, sometimes appear during the Uchida-Kraepelin tests. Those are considered the result of attention break. We then investigated the detail behavior during blockings using a digital pen and an eye tracking device. With the digital pen, we analyzed the characteristics of handwriting during the tests. Participants were 141 volunteer students in case of Uchida-Kraepelin tests with digital pens and 2 volunteer adults in case of eye tracking analysis. There were 17 blockings in the Uchida-Kraepelin tests of 2 participants wearing the eye tracker. After precise classification of the behavior during blockings, we considered that attention break raised 7 blockings, but not lead to other 10 blockings. We also verified that the behavior during blockings were specific for blocking or not. Almost categorized behaviors were specific for blocking, but one categorized behavior was exclusive to blocking
      The protocols used in this study were approved by the Ethics Committee at Toyo University.

    A casual smile has power enough to change the speed of the receiving and transmitting of information, capacity, and affinity in communication. In addition, by making conscious smile, it is reported that the physiological feedback of facial muscle activity to evoke positive emotion. There is a diversity of smile. It is probable that only a genuine smile can lead to health benefits of mental and physical. In general, it is called "Duchenne smile" that you can make favorable impression and make happy. In contrast, it is called "non-Duchenne smile" that is unnatural smile and polite manner smile. The difference between these two smiles will be clarified by the analysis of a geometric characteristic of the face. Moreover, it will clarify facial muscle activity patterns of each smile by electromyography. These results show that the golden ratio appear in the Duchene smile, there is a peculiar pattern to the contraction of facial muscles. For smile to deepen the relationship between people, I would like to explain through analysis.

  • ― The relationship between visual illusion and aesthetic preference by Experimental-Phenomenological Aesthetics approach ―

      This paper discusses visual illusions and beauty and goodness in perceptual psychology and art. Our researches suggest that strong illusory effects occur with strong preferences, and weak illusory effects with weak preferences under the conditions in which the selection of test illusory figures is adequate and stimulus variables producing illusory effects are correctly manipulated. Aesthetic preference and illusory amount were found to co-vary, both resulting in a V-shaped function across the stimulus variations for all patterns. It was found that the aesthetic preference was not an additive sum of single components, but rather a compound effect of 'the figure as a whole’. Rather, how stimulus elements are perceptually organized into an optimal configuration should be taken into consideration.

      The fuzzy graph will make it possible to analyze quantitatively fuzzy information such as expression of human relations and mental processes. To clarify the main feature of a fuzzy graph, we would represent it as an approximate graph and extract its characteristics such as similarity and connectivity structures. Therefore we must proceed to analyze many kinds of information concerning the structure of a fuzzy graph, such as drawing and displaying comprehensively fuzzy graphs in the process. We have developed a computer-aided method for analyzing fuzzy graphs through human interaction. This method can quickly and comprehensively draw a graph arranged on a circular, a partition tree, cluster representative graph corresponding to a cluster and a specified shape of approximate n-valued fuzzy graph. In this paper, we describe the analysis method and user interface of this system, and their application to sociometry analysis.
