Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study aims at redefining helping acts as a coupling of specific perceptions and actions. From this point of view, helping acts that are showed in New Testament, seem to recover and increase the possibilities of actions of the persecuted people. This understanding is different from the way of thinking the mainstream of the developmental psychology takes today. Based on the experiments of the ecological psychology, to perceive the others actions as ‘unfulfilled meanings’ is the way to help these others effectively. At the same time, it became clear that the ‘meaning’ of actions, which is segmented according to the purposes of actions, are not necessarily evident and made in the interactions with others.
