Outline of Final Research Achievements

Fear is generally understood as an avoidant emotion that causes individuals to flight from threats to their life or survival. However, humans (and animals as well) sometimes exhibit behaviors that involve approaching the very things that should threaten their life or survival. This can be interpreted as an approach reaction triggered by what is supposed to be an avoidant emotion, providing rich academic insights. This study examines why and how such approach reactions occur in avoidant emotions, using questionnaire methods and psychophysiological methods.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

回避性感情に伴う接近性反応の機能的意義については、これまで将来の脅威を回避するための合目的的行動として捉える向きが強かった。この考えについて本研究では、事象が生じた原因に関する興味、事象が生じた結果に関する興味という新たな観点を導入し、検討を行った。その結果、回避性感情に伴う接近性反応は、将来の脅威を回避するといった合目的性をもったものというよりも、覚醒度の高まりを求めるために過ぎない可能性が強く示唆された。
