Profile | My research interests centered around the psychological impact of migration to a new culture on individuals and understanding people’s behavior and feelings from a cultural perspective. My research has focused on cross-cultural adaptation of international students in Japan and attitude formation toward Japanese people, cultural differences in interpersonal rules and views of friendship, the factor structure of modesty, and the closeness of parent-child relationships among Japanese people, where interdependence is considered to be dominant. I also conducted research on risk perception and risk communication at my former research institute. Recently, I have been interested in acculturation of behavior and cognitive styles due to cross-cultural residence, and my research examines the acculturation, using findings and methods from cultural psychology and social cognitive studies. In the undergraduate seminar, we are expanding our field a little more and working on topics such as cognitive bias, attitude change, and effective messages using social psychological theories and methods. |
