JOURNAL FREE ACCESSIn Experiment I a list of 30 words for assessing various kinds of pain was compiled, and 110 college students were asked to estimate each of the 30 words by point scales for seven perceptual characteristics of pain, i. e., duration, interval, movement, depth, area, volume, and intensity. Results were illustrated in heptagon profiles and ranked by their intolerability. In Experiment II, the perceptual characteristics of pains produced by two sets (high or low) of six electrocutaneous stimuli were estimate by 34 subjects utilizing the same list of 30 words and a visual analog scale. Results showed that the high-current stimulation produced two kinds of pain. The low-current stimulation evoked three kinds of pain which were peculiar for each of the above sets. The other eight kinds of pain were common to the high- and low-current stimulations. Perceived intensities of the eight pains, however, differed between the high- and low-currents stimulations. It was assumed that the very same eight pains were perceived at different intensities depending upon the two sets of stimulus context.View full abstractDownload PDF (743K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe purpose of the present study was to investigate the interaction between the distributive justice development and social context which could influence reward allocation. Subjects (N=150) ranged from kindergartner to third graders. Each subject was administered a positive-justice interview to assess the level of his/her reasoning about distributive justice. Then the subject was told that he/she would help to make badges as many as he/she could, and worked on a task with a fictitious partner whose performance was superior, equal, or inferior to his/her own. The subject was then given rewards to divide between the partner. Results indicated that the distributive justice levels did not directly determine developmental trends in the reward allocation and also that the interaction of distributive justice levels with performance was one of the substantial determinants of the reward allocation.View full abstractDownload PDF (523K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe present study aimed to investigate the relationship between the dominant and the subordinate components in the developing EEGs, and to propose a commonly available schema of the developmental process of EEG applicable for both normal and mentally retarded children. The EEGs were recorded longitudinally from 21 normal and 16 mentally retarded children. They were followed up after an interval varying from about one to four years. Regarding the longitudinal changes of peak components in the spectra of normal children, it was observed that an earlier subordinate component became dominant at the same frequency, and that this component showed thereafter decreased power and became a subordinate one which eventually disappeared. At the same time or in advance to the above, another peak component appeared at a higher frequency, and the dominant component of about 10 Hz appeared at last. While EEG frequencies of retarded subjects were lower than those of normal children in the same age, the course of changing showed similarity in the both groups. Therefore, the developmental changes of EEG can be schematically apprehended that it takes the course of stepwise heightening of the dominant frequency, and that each component undergoes the change of growing and diminishing so that the dominancy of the component alternates at different stages.View full abstractDownload PDF (649K) -
A study of the current status of deviant behavior among Japanese high school boys and girlsHIROSHI MOTOAKI, ICHIRO SOUMA, HIROSHI KIMURA, TSUYOSHI SHIGEHISA1990 Volume 32 Issue 4 Pages 181-191

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe purpose was to present a paradigm of the scales useful for assessing tendencies of juvenile behavioral deviations. One thousand one hundred and sixty high school boys and girls, their teschers, and their parents participated in the study during the 10 years period. Rating scales were devised for assessing self-rating behaviors of these boys and girls by their teachers and parents. Significant differences were found, between the behavioral deviators and controls, primarily in such items as the perception of “the self (by him-/her-self)”, “the self which is reflected by others (looking-glass self)”, and “the social environment (which interacts with the self)”. These differences included items related to introversion-extraversion, emotional stability, ego-concernedness, ego-centrism, self-control, and achievement motives. These items may be useful for devising a paradigm of assessing juvenile behavioral deviations. Present results indicated that behavioral deviations and cognitive styles of the deviators arc related to each other, suggesting a possibility of cognitive modification of behavioral deviations.View full abstractDownload PDF (810K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSTwo experiments were conducted to examine the occurrences of “selective” orienting response (OR) and “alertive” OR by electrodermal response (EDR) in connection with task instructions and stimulus modalities. Two groups of 36 female university students received two visual and/or auditory stimuli during both habituation and test sessions either unimodally (Exp. I) or bimodally (Exp. II). The subjects in both experiments were assigned to one of three subgroups: PR (pedal-responding), SC (stimulation-counting), and NI (neutral-instruction). The PR was instructed to pedal to the test stimulus; the SC to count the number of the test stimulus presentations; the NI to do nothing. Results are as follows: (1) In Exp. I, a significant increase of the EDR to the test stimulus (selective OR) was observed by both the PR and the SC. (2) In Exp. II, only the PR alone showed significant augmental changes in the EDR magnitude to the non-test stimuli (alertive OR) as well as to the test stimuli. It was suggested, therefore, that the covert task had a little possibility for eliciting the alertive OR.View full abstractDownload PDF (657K)
