Understanding Self and Others' Minds, and Communication
Through empirical research mainly with young and school-age children, the lab examines how people understand their own and others' mental states and how communication develops.
Emotion Socialization and the Development of Emotion Understanding
To clarify how the environments in which children grow up support the development of emotion understanding, the lab is conducting a survey of Japanese young and school-age children and their caregivers, in collaboration with researchers at other universities. Children are assessed individually with the Japanese version of the Test of Emotion Comprehension, and caregivers are asked through questionnaires how they perceive emotions and how they approach children about emotions.
Developing the Japanese Version of the Test of Emotion Comprehension
Based on the Test of Emotion Comprehension (TEC), which is widely used in the West, the lab developed a Japanese version (TEC-J) suited to Japanese children. A survey of school-age children using this test revealed an association between emotion understanding and quality of life (QOL).
