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.
