Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The current research investigated functional mechanisms of "Kigakiku", which is judgment depending on the situation, from the viewpoint of cognitive neuropsychology. Firstly, to understand the construct of "Kigakiku", I conducted a factor analysis and identified three factors: Cognition of situation, plan management, and positive feelings about others. Secondly, participants (N = 719) were asked to fill in a questionnaire including an 18-item Kigakiku-scale. The data analyses revealed that the "Cognition of situation" and "Plan management" scores were related to self-assessment of "Kigakiku" while the "Positive feelings about others" score was not. In addition, except for the "Positive feelings about others" score, the "Kigakiku" scores improved with aging. The association between the "Plan management" score and a prospective memory score was also suggested.
