Outline of Final Research Achievements

The present study analyzed previous studies investigating effects of 4 techniques consisting humanitude, i.e. looking, talking, touching, and raising. The results showed that there has been little quantitative research investigating effects of these 4 techniques on caregivers and care recipients and behaviors of caregivers and care recipients can be described as operant behaviors. Therefore, it was suggested that it is needed to describe behaviors of humanitude caregivers and care recipients as operant behavior and construct a model describing interactions of these operant behaviors.
