Outline of Final Research Achievements

From a socio-ecological perspective, I investigated (1) psychological and behavioral consequences as well as natural- and social-ecological antecedents of relational mobility, and (2) the interaction effect between relational mobility (societal factor) and interpersonal market value (individual factor) on the selection of behavioral tactics in the interpersonal domain. Analyses of cross-cultural data found a wide-range of psychological and behavioral consequences and ecological antecedents of relational mobility. They also found societal and individual factors predicting several interpersonal emotions and behavioral tactics such as passion, jealousy, commitment proving behaviors, and mate retention behaviors, and suggest their adaptive values.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

先行研究は、人々の日常生活における対人行動方略－望ましい対人関係を獲得・維持するための行動－の選択に対して、社会環境変数である関係流動性が影響することを見いだしてきた。これに対して本研究は、新たに(1)関係流動性に先行する自然・社会環境要因を明らかにするとともに、(2)社会環境要因である関係流動性と、個人要因である市場価値との複合的な交互作用効果を扱うことにより、人間の社会行動研究に新鮮な知見と視点を提供するものである。
