In this study, we aimed to create a list of stimulus words suitable for evoking emotions that are placed evenly in the emotional space. College students ((cid:9522)=38) were invited into the laboratory and presented with two-character (Kanji) idioms, which were controlled for the number of characters and moras. We asked the students to evaluate the emotional valence and arousal level on an affect grid for each of the two-character idioms. We succeeded in creating a list of emotional words that minimize the interdependent influences of emotional valence and arousal factor as much as possible. A total of 271 two-character idioms were constituted using an evaluation that focused on the evoked emotions, and not on the attributions of the wordsʼ meanings. Therefore, the inventory has adequate validity as a list of emotional words to be used for experiments.

In this study, we investigated whether the moral self-licensing effect, a phenomenon where the past experience of moral behavior allows for immorality, alleviates guilt and prosocial behavior accompanying immoral behavior. As a moral licensing manipulation, we used an autobiographical recalling task that asked participants to recall their experiences where they engaged in prosocial behavior toward their friends in the past (e.g., Cornelissen, Bashshur, Rode, & Le Menestrel, 2013; Jordan, Mullen, & Murnighan, 2011). Subsequently, we manipulated the participants’ feelings of guilt using the scenario method. The results showed a significant interaction between moral licensing and guilt manipulation. More specifically, in the guilt-induced condition, participants who recalled their prosocial experiences felt less guilt toward present immoral behavior than those who did not. Further, for prosocial behavior, we conducted a moderated mediation analysis using guilt scores as a mediator and guilt manipulation as a moderator. The results showed that, only in the guilt-induced condition, moral licensing reduced prosocial behavior through the guilt scores. These indicate that last behavior as well as behavioral history what they had done before influences guilt and guilt-induced behaviors.

The Levels of Emotional Awareness Scale for Children (LEAS-C) is a scenario-based assessment of the ability to identify and describe the emotions of self and others. The present study is aimed at developing the Japanese version of the LEAS-C (J-LEAS-C) and examining its reliability and validity. The translated version of the LEAS-C and the measures of empathy and alexithymic tendencies were administered to 299 junior high school students. The J-LEAS-C showed sufficient inter-rater reliability and high internal consistency among the scenarios. A confirmatory factor analysis revealed the acceptable fit indices of the theoretically-expected one-factor model. As expected, emotional awareness was positively associated with two dimensions of empathy: “empathetic concern” and “cognitive empathy,” and showed a weak negative correlation with one of the factors of the alexithymic tendencies: “externally-oriented thinking.” Finally, the J-LEAS-C scores showed a gender difference consistent with previous studies in which girls scored higher than boys. Although the practical usefulness and cultural aspects that may influence the scores remain an issue, these findings support the reliability and validity of the J-LEAS-C.

Previous studies have revealed a correlation between self-focused rumination and the forgiveness of self and others. However, the correlation between self-focused reflection and two dimensions of selfesteem: contingent self-esteem and sense of authenticity has not yet been studied. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of self-focused rumination and reflection on the forgiveness of others and on negative and positive forgiveness of self when mediated by contingent self-esteem and sense of authenticity. To test the validity of the model used in this study, structural equation modeling and mediation analysis were used to analyze data collected from 247 undergraduate students. When contingent self-esteem was the mediator, the results showed a correlation between self-focused rumination and both negative and positive forgiveness of self. When a sense of authenticity was the mediator, there was a correlation between self-focused rumination and positive forgiveness of both self and others.

In addition, when they watched one of the positive clips, frontal alpha asymmetry fluctuation was preceded by HR variation. This indicated that ANS response might influ ence activity of cerebral area where frontal alpha asymmetry arises.
