JOURNAL FREE ACCESSFeature representation models are too restricted in that they consider features as dichotomous variables. In an attempt to construct a more general feature model, it is argued that fuzzy set theory (Zadeh, 1965) gives a natural and promising solution to the problem. Using fuzzy set theory in place of ordinary set theory, a fuzzy feature matching model, which is a generalization of Tversky's contrast model (1977) of similarity, is proposed and is applied to the analysis of an asymmetric similarity matrix, which was obtained by asking 42 undergraduates to judge pairwise similarity among eight countries.View full abstractDownload PDF (682K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSNine human males volunteered as subjects of an experiment in which the responses on each of two concurrently available push-buttons were reinforced under conc VI VI schedules. The reinforcer was token coins which were changeable for money after the experiment. Reinforcer magnitude (number of token coins for one reinforcement) and rate of the reinforcement availability were systematically varied. The results showed that previous studies in this area had not provided sufficient evidence for the effects of magnitude and frequency of reinforcement upon the choice behavior. Our multiple regression analysis suggested that there were three types of persons; those affected mainly by frequency, by magnitude, and those affected by both of these two.View full abstractDownload PDF (702K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThis study examined the nonspecificity of behavioral cues and information transmitted in deceptive communication. Ten female Japanese students in a nurse-training course orally described disgust-arousing pictures or non-arousing ones and their feelings either truthfully, deceptively, or truthfully with mental calculation. Their communications were videotaped and 60 Japanese undergraduate students watched them, formed impressions of their emotional states, and rated deceptive or calculating impression. The raters interpreted the communications as deceptive or calculating depending on their contextual expectancy regardless of communicators' actual deception or calculation. Their interpretations were based on impressions of psychological load and tension. It was inferred that nonverbal deception cues signify stress states of the communicator and that raters attribute these stress impressions to the communicator's deception when the context suggests deception.View full abstractDownload PDF (616K) -
A self-presentational perspectiveMASAMORI TAKENISHI1988 Volume 30 Issue 3 Pages 122-131

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe experiments were conducted to clarify the factors affecting unfair allocation under the competition between two groups. Thirty-eight male undergraduates participated as subjects in Experiment 1 and twenty-seven in Experiment 2. In Experiment 1, each subject was told that he would be an allocator and that it would be informed in one of the four ways; only to the in-group, only to the out-group, to both, or to neither group. The subjects were asked to allocate rewards between the in-group and the out-group performer according to equity, but they allocated more rewards to the in-group performer in spite of equal performance when they were to be identified by the in-group members. Information about identification by the out-group members did not affect allocation. In Experiment 2, the subjects received information concerning the group to which each performer belonged. Being asked to use equity, the subjects leveled the rewards in unequal performance when the in-group performer did poorly. When he did well, the subjects made an equitable allocation. In both experiments, the subjects made fair performance ratings.View full abstractDownload PDF (809K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSIn Research I, the sixteen words were supported as the pain descriptors by non-medical and medical subjects who have experienced these pains. Five perceptual characteristics (duration, interval, depth, area and intensity) of the pains described by the sixteen words were estimated by five-point scales and expressed in pentagon-profiles. Pains which were long duration and repeated frequently were deep and strong. Short and infrequent pains were shallow, weak and small. The long duration pains are deservedly intolerable than the short pains. The short pains are deservedly tolerable. The pentagon-profiles of the sixteen pains were ranked in order of “intolerability”. In Research II, a Japanese version of MPQ was compiled and analyzed by the same procedure as those in Research I. The thirty-five words were supported and differentiated from emotional or evaluative words by the same subjects as participated in Research I. These words were also arranged by the rank order of intolerability. Reliability of the subjects' estimation of the pains was supported by results of the words which used common to both Researches I and II.View full abstractDownload PDF (866K)
