In recent years, the decreasing number of blood donors has been a critical issue, raising concerns about blood shortages in the future. A limited number of studies have examined repeat blood donors. One aspect of their motives for repeat donation examined in this study is the donors' "difficulties in their lives". The results of interviews show that these donors face certain difficulties, especially in regard to educational or occupational attainment, marital status, and social relationships. During the interviews, interviewees said they felt needed when they donated blood, which they realized eased some of their feelings about the difficulties they faced. They felt this especially when they looked at their donation cards, which show the number of donations, or when staff members at blood banks expressed their gratitude. From this study, there are several suggestions for promoting blood donation: communication between donors and staff recording donation frequency on donation cards so that donors can gain a sense of achievement, and distributing awards to donors for repeat donations.

In the fall of 2017, the author carried out research on the views and behaviors concerning love and relationships among the female students of universities and vocational schools. The result shows that the level of positiveness to love and relationships is high among the female students of vocational schools who do not adapt to school cultures well during secondary education. Based on these findings, the author further examined the views on gender and love and the way to develop relationships among the female students who do not adapt to school cultures well. While they hold a traditional view on gender, they tend to view love as follows: 1)an opportunity to improve their mentality and quality of life, 2)something fun and enjoyable, 3)something they should devote themselves to. They are also proactive in terms of developing relationships. These findings would be able to explain the reason for the continuous existence of a certain number of Japanese women who marry at young ages.

The first process is that the "Defining agency" as family and community interferes with the "Definition of the situation" which is the stage of examination and deliberation and forms it.
