The Effects of Viewing Cute Pictures on Performance During a Basketball Free-Throw Task.NaokiYoshikawa &Hiroaki Masaki -2021 -Frontiers in Psychology 12.detailsPrevious studies have shown that viewing cute pictures leads to performance improvement in a subsequent fine motor task. We examined the beneficial effects of viewing cute pictures in a more complex sporting skill by comparing three conditions and two tests. The participants, all of whom were college basketball players, performed 16 free throws in each condition. In the no-pressure test, male participants improved performance after viewing pictures of baby animals but not after adult animals and no pictures. In the pressure (...) test, no significant improvement was observed. For female participants, the cuteness-viewing effect was not observed in both tests. The results suggest that viewing cute pictures may improve performance during basketball free throws in a low-pressure situation by narrowing the breadth of attentional focus and inducing approach motivation and caregiving behaviors.

Viewpoint Invariance of Eye Size Illusion Caused by Eyeshadow.Hiroyuki Muto,Mayu Ide,Akitoshi Tomita &Kazunori Morikawa -2019 -Frontiers in Psychology 10.detailsPrevious research found that application of eyeshadow on the upper eyelids induces overestimation of eye size. The present study examined whether this eyeshadow illusion is dependent on or independent of viewpoint. We created a three-dimensional model of a female face and manipulated the presence/absence of eyeshadow and face orientation around the axis of yaw (Experiment 1) or pitch (Experiment 2) rotation. Using the staircase method, we measured perceived eye size for each face stimulus. Results showed that the eyeshadow illusion occurred (...) regardless of face orientation around axes of both yaw and pitch rotations. Crucially, the illusion’s magnitude did not vary across face orientations; lack of interaction between the illusion’s magnitude and face orientation was confirmed by small values of Bayes factors. These findings ruled out the hypothesis that eyeshadow serves as a depth cue and leads to overestimation of eye size due to size-distance scaling. Alternatively, the present findings suggest that the eyeshadow illusion can be well explained by the assimilation between the eyes and eyeshadow, which also facilitates assimilation between the eyes and eyebrows. Practical implications and the present findings’ generalizability are also discussed. (shrink)
Man and the Concept of History in the East.KojiroYoshikawa -1963 -Diogenes 11 (42):14-19.detailsOf all the nations in the East, the Chinese have had and still have the keenest awareness of the function of history, influencing, to a lesser extent, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, etc.The best evidence of this is the fact that events which occurred in China have been continuously recorded by the Chinese, chronologically and with accuracy as to dates, with greater and greater precision as time went on, up to today. We know that the First Emperor of the Ch'in Empire, the (...) founder of United China, died on the 7th day of the 7th month of the 37th year of his reign, i.e., 210 B.C., just as we know that Sun Yat-sen died on March 12, 1925. We also know that the date of the T'ang Emperor Hsüantsung's retreat from his capital to avoid rebellious troops was the 13th day of the 6th month of the 15th year of T'ien-pao (if transferred to the Julian Calendar, July 14, 756 A.D.), just as we know that the date of the Empress Dowager's retreat from Peking to avoid the Boxers was August 15, 1900. Furthermore, we know that on that unfortunate morning in 756 it was raining. (shrink)

Lost Japan: focusing on the problems of globalism and nationalism in moral education.Hiroyuki Sakuma -forthcoming -Journal of Philosophy of Education.detailsThis article analyses, both historically and systematically, the underlying causes of specific characteristics of globalism and nationalism in Japan focusing on an ideological moral education that lies at the heart of the problems of Japanese education. The analysis highlights two issues: (1) There is no real globalism in modern Japan. Certainly, the globalization of industry, government, and academia is now loudly proclaimed in Japan. However, in the name of globalization, English education is overemphasized. (2) There is no real nationalism in (...) modern Japan. Japan once had a nationalism centred on the emperor system from the Meiji era. However, after World War II, the emperor system in Japan was dismantled and a democratic Japanese Constitution was enacted under the influence of the Allied Powers. Furthermore, in the Basic Act on Education, the theory of ‘the perfection of personality’ based on Kant’s philosophy was transplanted. Education in post-war Japan developed under a democratic constitution and the Basic Act on Education, which states that the purpose of education is ‘the perfection of personality’. This means that education has a strong moral flavour. Particularly at the stage of compulsory education in Japan, which is the foundation of national education, moral education is addressed through all educational activities at school. Therefore, the issues of globalism and nationalism in moral education, which this article deals with, belong directly to core problems of Japanese education. (shrink)

Organizational Citizenship Behaviors of Directors: An Integrated Framework of Director Role-Identity and Boardroom Structure.ToruYoshikawa &Helen Wei Hu -2017 -Journal of Business Ethics 143 (1):99-109.detailsWhile directors’ task boundaries are usually ambiguous, some of their activities or behaviors clearly constitute their formal duties, whereas others are usually perceived as organizational citizenship behavior. Applying identity theory, we present a theoretical model that demonstrates one of the key drivers for directors to engage in OCB with a focus on their role identity. We argue that an individual director’s role identity is one of the key factors that motivate directors to engage in OCB. Furthermore, we propose that two (...) board-level contingencies, board capital, and informal board hierarchy order, can moderate the effect of directors’ role-identity salience on their OCB. That is, low levels of board capital and directors’ higher positions in a board’s informal hierarchy enhance directors’ motivation to engage in OCB. (shrink)
Classical logic, conditionals and “nonmonotonic” reasoning.Nicholas Allott &Hiroyuki Uchida -2009 -Behavioral and Brain Sciences 32 (1):85-85.detailsReasoning with conditionals is often thought to be non-monotonic, but there is no incompatibility with classical logic, and no need to formalise inference itself as probabilistic. When the addition of a new premise leads to abandonment of a previously compelling conclusion reached by modus ponens, for example, this is generally because it is hard to think of a model in which the conditional and the new premise are true.
Transcription factors regulate early T cell development via redeployment of other factors.Hiroyuki Hosokawa,Kaori Masuhara &Maria Koizumi -2021 -Bioessays 43 (5):2000345.detailsEstablishment of cell lineage identity from multipotent progenitors is controlled by cooperative actions of lineage‐specific and stably expressed transcription factors, combined with input from environmental signals. Lineage‐specific master transcription factors activate and repress gene expression by recruiting consistently expressed transcription factors and chromatin modifiers to their target loci. Recent technical advances in genome‐wide and multi‐omics analysis have shed light on unexpected mechanisms that underlie more complicated actions of transcription factors in cell fate decisions. In this review, we discuss functional dynamics (...) of stably expressed and continuously required factors, Notch and Runx family members, throughout developmental stages of early T cell development in the thymus. Pre‐ and post‐commitment stage‐specific transcription factors induce dynamic redeployment of Notch and Runx binding genomic regions. Thus, together with stage‐specific transcription factors, shared transcription factors across distinct developmental stages regulate acquisition of T lineage identity. (shrink)
Survey on the Recent Studies of the Role of Diagrams in Mathematics from the Viewpoint of Philosophy of Mathematics.Hiroyuki Inaoka -2014 -Kagaku Tetsugaku 47 (1):67-82.detailsIn this paper, we would present an overview of the recent studies on the role of diagram in mathematics. Traditionally, mathematicians and philosophers had thought that diagram should not be used in mathematical proofs, because relying on diagram would cause to various types of fallacies. But recently, some logicians and philosophers try to show that diagram has a legitimate place in proving mathematical theorems. We would review such trends of studies and provide some perspective from viewpoint of philosophy of mathematics.
Equivalent comparisons of information channels.Hiroyuki Nakata -2011 -Theory and Decision 71 (4):559-574.detailsThis article constructs a static model of information acquisition when the agent does not know exactly what pieces of information he is missing. A representation of preferences over information channels and menus of lotteries is shown by adapting the model of unforeseen contingencies by Dekel et al. (Econometrica 69:891–934, 2001; Econometrica 75:591–600, 2007), which is an extension of Kreps (Econometrica 47:565–576, 1979; Economic analysis of markets and games: essays in honor of Frank Hahn, 1992). Also, characterisation of informativeness of an (...) information channel analogous to the one by Blackwell (Ann Math Stud 24:265–272, 1953) is examined in conjunction with the preference for flexibility by applying the structure of Shapley value.
