ResearchResearch themes
This is a cultural psychology lab that investigates the mutual constitution of culture and the mind using social psychology experiments and surveys. Researchers visit from around the world, and they work together on basic and applied research.
Cross-national comparison and field research
In addition to cross-national comparative studies and social psychology experiments, the lab conducts field surveys of companies and communities in Japan. Because international collaborative research is the main focus, there are many international students and overseas researchers, and the lab seminar is held mainly in English.
Culture and happiness in communities and organizations
The lab also approaches real-world issues, such as the relationship between happiness and the climate and culture of local communities, companies, and organizations, using the theories and methods of cultural and social psychology.
Emotion, well-being, and culture
Recent themes include emotion and well-being, the relationship between the mind and socioecological environments or culture, cultural change and transmission, social structure (social class) and cognition, and corporate and regional culture. The lab also takes approaches that use methods such as machine learning.
