| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of expressive writing (written disclosure) about trauma on mental and physical health, and higher cognitive functioning from the viewpoints of cultural and health psychology. It was suggested that the health and cognitive effects of the usual technique, that is, writing freely the emotion and the thought, did not exceed that of the control condition in Japan and Belgium. However, it was suggested that the structured disclosure to enhance the cognitive restructuring of the trauma improved the mental health (i.e. reduce of the posttraumatic stress responses) and higher cognitive functioning (i.e. increase of the working memory) in Japan.
