| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In an age of globalization, people of diverse cultures interact with each other. Current study aimed to examine the psychological processes involved in learning about different cultures. Participants observed behavioral patterns and asked to make inductive inferences about the cultural norms underlying them. The study found that individuals with respectful attitudes towards different cultures scored higher on the induction task. Positive feedback for norm-consistent behaviors also facilitated it. The strength of one's interdependent self-construal moderated the effect of feedback on effective cultural learning. Additionally, emotionally sensitive individuals scored higher on inductive reasoning. Overall, the findings suggest that intercultural learning is a complex process that is influenced by a range of psychological factors. These findings have important implications for individuals and organizations seeking to promote intercultural understanding and collaboration.

異文化適応に関する研究には、質問紙や面接調査を用いた臨床的な事例報告が多い。一方で当該研究は、文化規範の獲得についての心理的プロセスを明らかにするために、社会的フィードバックによる強化学習のメカニズムを応用した実証実験を行った。社会的フィードバックの効果および異文化適応の個人差の関係について得られた新たな研究知見は、基礎および臨床の両側面から文化学習の理論構築に寄与するものと考える。社会的報酬の程度や種類が、どのように行動選択を調整し、さらに神経メカニズムにどのような影響を与えるのかといった生理心理学的知見の構築は今後の課題である。
