Social and Cognitive Psychology Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A psychology lab that explores decision-making through the aspects of cognition, emotion, and situation.
AboutAbout the lab
Putting negative emotions to use for better behavior.
The Social and Cognitive Psychology Lab studies, from a psychological perspective, the processes by which people think, judge, and decide, focusing on three aspects: cognition, emotion, and situation.
Its research theme is "making use of negative emotions," taking emotions such as regret, anticipated regret, shame, and guilt as clues.
The lab examines everyday behavior and social issues through three processes: how people think and decide, how they interpret and cope with outcomes, and how they apply them to their future selves.
The lab conducts not only survey-based research but also experimental research.

ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies the human decision-making process mainly through psychological approaches, from three aspects: cognition, emotion, and situation. The summary of its findings so far is that, to put the negative emotions arising from failure to use for better behavior, "acceptance" of what has happened is the most important factor.
