| Outline of Research at the Start |
As proposed by Markus & Kitayama (2010, 1994), the “Culture Cycle” helps conceptualize a dynamic process of mutual construction of culture and psyche (self). Based on this, experiments will be conducted to test (a.i) Well-Being/Happiness Attribution, (a.ii) Non-Well-Being/Unhappiness Attribution, (b.i) Happiness Emotional Engagement, (b.ii) Unhappiness Emotional Engagement, as well as (c.i) Well-Being/Happiness Effects and Non-Well- Being/Unhappiness Effect (c.ii). These 6 proposed experimental domains are rooted in the findings of
Phase 1 and Phase II of the root Kaken project.

| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research project combined a close analysis of PISA data with the findings and perspectives of cultural psychology. The work produced a close working relationship with leading cultural psychologists that has indicated areas where the PISA tests have become distorting and disorienting for educational policy and practice worldwide.
|
| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
In terms of research, the results are significant for showing how well-being and achievement work in non-Western contexts such as East Asia. In terms of social achievements, the results provided a foundation for challenging dominant policy trends and developing contextually-rooted alternatives.
