I am a social and cultural psychologist who is interested in what brings about diversity in human psychology and behaviors. By taking a socio-ecological perspective, I investigate how characteristics of social environment that surround us (such as relational mobility, i.e., the degree of freedom in selecting and replacing one's relationships afforded by the environment) may affect a broad range of our psychological and behavioral tendencies.

  • Where does the cultural difference in rejection avoidance come from? The role of relational mobility and reputational expectation
    Kusakabe Haruno; Maeda Yugo; Yuki Masaki
    Japanese Journal of Social Psychology, 40, 1, 1, 10, The Japanese Society of Social Psychology, 31 Jul. 2024
    Japanese, Contrary to traditional cultural psychological theories, cross-cultural studies have found that East Asians are not more interdependent than North Americans. Addressing this anomaly, Hashimoto and Yamagishi (2013) proposed that, from an institutional approach, cross-cultural differences should exist in rejection avoidance rather than harmony-seeking tendencies. They argue that this is because, in low relational mobility societies like Japan, where the cost of social exclusion is high, it is adaptive to be attentive to possible negative reputation and behave in a manner that accommodates other people’s expectations through the use of rejection avoidance tendencies. However, it has not been confirmed empirically whether or not cultural differences in relational mobility and the expectation of negative reputation underlie these differences in rejection avoidance. We conducted three online surveys in the US and Japan to test this hypothesis. Results showed that, consistent with our predictions, lower relational mobility among Japanese, compared to Americans, was associated with higher negative reputational expectation, and higher negative reputational expectation was associated with higher rejection avoidance tendencies.

    English, Scientific journal, We investigate whether the social cure properties of groups vary across cultures, testing hypotheses that the associations between multiple group memberships (MGM) and depressive symptoms will (a) be mediated by social support and uncomfortable normative pressures, and (b) vary systematically with sample-level relational mobility. Analyses of data from a survey ( N = 5,174) conducted within k = 29 samples show that MGM is negatively associated with depressive symptoms, an association fully mediated by social support and uncomfortable normative pressures. In line with our theorizing, in samples with higher levels of relational mobility constraints, the association between MGM and depressive symptoms is weaker, the associations between MGM and social support and between MGM and normative pressures are stronger, and the association between social support and depressive symptoms weaker. The indirect link between MGM and depressive symptoms via social support is significant at both low and high levels of relational mobility constraints.

    English, Scientific journal, Abstract

    The current study examines whether the prevalence of COVID‐19 cases and cultural flexibility correlate to one's use of acceptance coping across 26 cultures. We analyzed data from 7476 participants worldwide at the start of the first outbreak from March 2020 to June 2020. Results showed that cultural flexibility moderated the relationship between COVID‐19 cases and individuals' acceptance coping strategies. Specifically, for cultures with high flexibility, COVID‐19 cases correlated with more acceptance coping; for cultures with low flexibility, COVID‐19 cases correlated with less acceptance coping. This result demonstrates how participants from flexible cultures can coexist with the realistic challenges and suffering faced during this pandemic.

  • Lay theories about emotion recognition explain cultural differences in willingness to wear facial masks during the COVID-19 pandemic.
    Fatima Z Nayani; Masaki Yuki; William W Maddux; Joanna Schug
    Current research in ecological and social psychology, 4, 100089, 14 Jan. 2023, [Peer-reviewed], [International Magazine]
    English, Scientific journal, Given that mask-wearing proved to be an important tool to slow the spread of infection during the COVID-19 pandemic, investigating the psychological and cultural factors that influence norms for mask wearing across cultures is exceptionally important. One factor that may influence mask wearing behavior is the degree to which people believe masks potentially impair emotion recognition. Based on previous research suggesting that there may be cultural differences in facial regions that people in Japan and the United States attend to when inferring a target's emotional state, we predicted that Americans would perceive masks (which cover the mouth) as more likely to impair emotion recognition, whereas Japanese would perceive facial coverings that conceal the eye region (sunglasses) to be more likely to impair emotion recognition. The results showed that Japanese participants reported wearing masks more than Americans. Americans also reported higher expected difficulty in interpreting emotions of individuals wearing masks (vs. sunglasses), while Japanese reported the reverse effect. Importantly, expectations about the negative impact of facial masks on emotion recognition explained cultural differences in mask-wearing behavior, even accounting for existing social norms.

    English, Scientific journal, This study compares the individual-level and sample-level predictive utility of a measure of the cultural logics of dignity, honor, and face. University students in 29 samples from 24 nations used a simple measure to rate their perceptions of the interpersonal cultural logic characterizing their local culture. The nomological net of these measures was then explored. Key dependent measures included three different facets of independent versus interdependent self-construal, relevant attitudes and values, reported handling of actual interpersonal conflicts, and responses to normative settings. Multilevel analyses revealed both individual- and sample-level effects but the dignity measure showed more individual-level effects, whereas sample-level effects were relatively more important with the face measure. The implications of this contrast are discussed.

  • What causes cross-cultural differences in the reactions to Trolley Problem? A cross-cultural study on the roles of relational mobility and reputation expectation (in Japanese)
    Yamamoto, S; Yuki, M
    Japanese Journal of Social Psychology, 35, 2, 61, 71, 2019, [Peer-reviewed]
    Japanese, Scientific journal, The Trolley Problem is a well-known moral dilemma that deals with the morality of saving many people’s lives at the expense of a smaller number of others. A recent cross-cultural study found that, while the morality rating attributed to the action did not differ, there was a cultural difference in participants’ intention to act in a given way. From a socioecological perspective, we propose that this could be due to cross-societal differences in the expected reputation that others would assign to the actor for performing the action, which in turn stems from different levels of relational mobility in the respective social ecology. Supporting our theory, a vignette study with US and Japanese participants showed that 1) while there was no cultural difference in morality ratings, among those who judged the action to be morally correct, the Japanese participants showed less action intention than the American participants; 2) the Japanese participants expected a less positive reputation for their action from others than did the American participants; and 3) the weaker action intention among the Japanese participants was associated with the smaller relational mobility and weaker positive reputation expected for action.

    Online Readings in Psychology and Culture, 5, 4, Jun. 2017, [Peer-reviewed], [Invited]
    English, Scientific journal, Contrary to traditional views of North Americans as strongly individualistic, accumulating evidence indicates that they are actually also highly collectivistic, or group-oriented, when compared to people in other parts of the world. Review of previous findings suggest an alternative view; cultural differences in group-behavior and psychology does not reside in the levels of collectivism, or the strength and amount of identity and loyalty to the group, but rather in the type of psychological processes that bring about those phenomena: specifically, an orientation towards intergroup differentiation and comparisons in North American cultures versus an orientation towards intragroup relationships in East Asian cultures. In addition, we offer a possible account for why such a difference could exist based on a socio-ecological perspective, focusing specifically on the role of relational mobility.

  • Intergroup threat and intragroup interdependence: Multiplicity of psychological processes behind ingroup favoritism, and their distinct elicitors
    Yokota Kunihiro; Yuki Masaki
    The Japanese journal of psychology, 80, 3, 246, 251, The Japanese Psychological Association, 2009, [Peer-reviewed]
    Japanese, Scientific journal, Recent research has suggested that two distinct psychological processes lead to ingroup favoritism in the minimal group paradigm (MGP) : the motivation to gain positive intergroup distinctiveness, and the motivation to maintain intragroup cooperation. In this study, we tested a hypothesis based on the adaptationist perspective, that different situational cues suggesting intergroup threat or intragroup interdependence would elicit ingroup favoritism via these distinct psychological processes. Ninety-one Japanese undergraduates participated in a minimal group experiment and performed a reward allocation task. The results supported our predictions. Participants did not show ingroup favoritism in the control condition, where only pure ingroup-outgroup categorization was made. However, they showed ingroup favoritism when they were exposed to intergroup threat in an ostensibly unrelated task prior to reward allocation (intergroup threat condition). Moreover, a positive correlation between ingroup favoritism and the motivation to maximize positive intergroup distinctiveness was observed only in the intergroup threat condition. Likewise, participants showed ingroup favoritism in the interdependence condition, where they were presented with cues suggesting interdependence within the ingroup. The significance and implications of the findings are discussed.

    Scientific journal, Self-concepts change from context to context. The experience that one's self is context-sensitive may be universal, however the amount and meaning of context-sensitive self vary across cultures. Cross-cultural differences in the amount and meaning of context-sensitive self were investigated in three Western cultures (Australia, Germany, and UK) and two East Asian cultures (Japan and Korea). The amount of context-sensitivity of self was greater in Japan than in Western cultures and Korea. The meaning of context-sensitive self also varied across cultures. In the Western cultures, a context-invariant self was seen to be clear and true; however, these patterns were not observed in the East Asian cultures. In Korea, a context-invariant self was interpreted to be exhibiting a relational self, which adheres to the ethics of care. In Japan, it was a context-sensitive self that was seen to be true, implying that the true self in Japan may mean to be true to the self-in-context, rather than the transcendental, decontextualized self. The results suggest the importance of differentiating East Asian cultures such as Japan and Korea. The utility of quantitative methods in explicating cultural meaning was highlighted.

    YUKI Masaki
    Institut für Psychologie, Universität Osnabrück, English, Invited oral presentation
    Osnabrueck, Germany, I propose that different types of cognitive representations of groups, as well as motivations underlying group behaviors, are predominant in so-called “individualistic” and “collectivistic” cultures. People in individualistic cultures, as depicted in Social Identity Theory, tend to see the ingroup as a depersonalized entity, defined in terms of the ingroup prototype, in a comparative context with the outgroup. The maximization of ingroup-outgroup status differences is a major motivation underlying group behaviors. On the contrary, people in collectivistic cultures tend to represent the ingroup as a stable and structured interpersonal network among cognitively personalized members, and they are motivated to maintain cooperative and harmonious relationships within the ingroup; outgroup discrimination is a by-product rather than the cause of this process. A review of cultural psychological studies, including those addressing self-concept, determinants of ingroup identity and loyalty, attention to group characteristics, bases of group-based trust, and intergroup discrimination, support this hypothesis. Finally, I will propose a new account for the origin of these “cultural” differences from a socio-ecological perspective, focusing on the role of “relational mobility.”, [Invited], [International presentation]

    検討課題①「称賛行動を促進／抑制する社会環境要因の検討」：1)関係流動性と、ポジティブ・ネガティブ評判情報に対する敏感さ、またそれらの行動的帰結との関連を、日米でのオンライン調査で検討した。その結果、予測通り、自己主張度の文化差を、関係流動性とポジティブ評判追求傾向が統計的に説明した。2)予定していたベトナム国内の比較研究は、方法上の問題により、来年度以降に持ち越した。
    検討課題②「被称賛への情動反応の社会差とその原因」：1)日米人を対象に、成功時の誇り・羞恥感情経験と関係流動性の関連の追試を行った。その結果、先行研究の結果が再現された。2)日米人が、成功場面で誇りもしくは羞恥を表出している人物をどう評価するかを比較した。しかし、測定尺度の問題が示唆され、来年度に問題を修正して再検討する。3)新型コロナウイルス流行収束の先行きが見えないため、予定していた唾液による感情測定を断念し、表情による測定の準備を開始した。
    検討課題③「称賛・批判システムと協力行動の関連」：1)協力行動の隠蔽の文化差を検討した。協力隠蔽傾向が、関係流動性の低さ、ポジティブ評判の低さ、およびネガティブ評判期待の高さと関連していた。2)関係流動性と協力隠蔽との因果関係を検証する実験研究を行った。実験操作がうまくいかず、来年度以降の継続課題となった。3)協力行動を質的に二分し、関係流動性との関連を検討する研究を開始した。4)寄付行動と評判期待の関連を検討する調査を行った（データ分析中）。
    検討課題④：青年期における被称賛、被批判経験が、成人後の行動傾向や心理傾向に与える影響をオンライン調査で検討した。明確な結果は得られなかった。

  • Social constraints and individual constraints: Interaction effects between relational mobility and market value on interpersonal tactics
    Grant in Aid for Scientific Research (B)
    Apr. 2015 - Mar. 2019
    Masaki YUKI
    From a socio-ecological perspective, I investigated (1) psychological and behavioral consequences as well as natural- and social-ecological antecedents of relational mobility, and (2) the interaction effect between relational mobility (societal factor) and interpersonal market value (individual factor) on the selection of behavioral tactics in the interpersonal domain. Analyses of cross-cultural data found a wide-range of psychological and behavioral consequences and ecological antecedents of relational mobility. They also found societal and individual factors predicting several interpersonal emotions and behavioral tactics such as passion, jealousy, commitment proving behaviors, and mate retention behaviors, and suggest their adaptive values.

    Two cross-cultural studies were conducted between Japan and the US, testing two key theories related to the research project: cross cultural differences in 1) self-promotion tendencies on SNS and 2) interpersonal strategies relating to context collapse on SNS.


    Results from these studies were presented at both national and international conferences -- the JSSP conference in Osaka (Japan) and the IACCP conference in Nagoya (Japan). Dr. Thomson also presented at the 3MC conference in Chicago (USA). Here, he shared his methods for recruiting participants to large-scale multi-country studies, and gathered valuable feedback from professionals in the field. This feedback channeled into preparation for the large-scale study planned for the second year of this research project.

    Seven multi-method studies, such as a secondary analysis of public domain data, questionnaire survey, quasi-experiment, and laboratory experiment, examined social functions of self-esteem. Results indicate that 1) the effect of self-esteem on happiness is stronger in social contexts high, rather than low, in relational mobility, where there is a greater amount of choices in interpersonal relationships, 2) self-esteem has an "interpersonal booster-function" (i.e. motivating individuals to approach strangers), which is adaptive in social contexts high in relational mobility, and 3) self-estee...

    We have demonstrated through a series of minimal group experiments that the proximate psychological mechanism to induce individuals to favor members of their own group is in reputation psychology including sensitivity to his or her reputation within his or her own group. By empirically demonstrating the operation of this reputation psychology, the findings in this study provide a strong support to the indirect reciprocity principle, as compared to group-selection principle, as the evolutionary foundation of the in-group favoring behavior commonly observed in human society.

    Research on human ability to empathize with others is a core question encompassing natural sciences including evolutionary biology as well as human sciences, and constitutes one of the fundamental questions to understand human sociality. This project was focused on basic socio-emotional processes called "primitive empathy." This project revolved around theory-building about emotional synchronization within pairs, and has succeeded in empirically identifying a phenomenon called "facial mimicry." This is a phenomenon whereby a person replicates another person's facial expression on his/her ow...

    本研究の目的は、集団行動と集団認知に文化と社会構造が与える影響を明らかにすることであった。平成18年度は、以下の研究を行い、重要な知見と示唆を得た。・研究1.集団状況での注意配分と記憶に関する目米比較:仮想の集団状況のシナリオを用いた実験を日米で行ったところ、Yuki(2003)のモデルから予測されるとおり、日本人は集団内の対人関係に関する情報を、一方のアメリカ人は集団問の相対的地位に関する情報をより正確に記憶することが示された。・研究2.類似性一魅力効果と関係流動性#2:日米における質問紙調査の結果、予測通り、社会関係流動性の高い社会に住むアメリカ人の方が、流動性の低い社会に住む日本人よりも、自己と友人の類似性知覚が高かった。・研究3.関係流動性尺度の改善:社会構造の流動性を測定するために前年度に開発を始めた社会関係流動性尺度relational mobility scaleの改善に取りかかった。項目を厳選した上で、日米において質問紙調査を行ったところ、予測通り、一般的信頼の日米差は社会関係流動性によって完全に媒介され、尺度の妥当性が示された。・研究4類似性-魅力効果と関係流動性#3:研究3で妥当性が示された関係流動性尺度を用いて、研究2で見いだされた類似性知覚の日米差の説明を試みた。日米で行った質問紙調査の結果、予測通り、自己と友人の類似性知覚の文化差が、関係流動性によっ...

    The goal of this study was to clarify the mechanisms that promote voluntarily based social order, not constrained by the closed nature of social relations, in a situation in which provision is "assurance" of security based on commitment relations is not possible. We used "artificial societies" created in the laboratory to achieve this goal. As a means to achieve this goal, we found that building a trust relationship (i.e., transforming an opportunistic relationship into a trust relationship) requires risk taking. We further identified socio-relational and socio-institutional conditions that...

    Social/cultural learning is an effective way to reduce uncertainty about the environment, helping individuals adopt an adaptive behavior cheaply. Although this is evident for learning about temporally stable targets, such as acquisition of a skill in avoiding toxic foods, the utility of social/cultural learning in a temporally unstable environment is less clear, since knowledge acquired by social learning may be outdated. This research addressed the adaptive value of social/cultural learning in a nonstationary environment both theoretically and empirically. We first conducted an evolutionar...

    本研究の目的は、異なる集団間文脈がどのように異なる心理的プロセスを引き起こした結果、どのようなタイプの集団間行動が生まれるのか、すなわち「集団間文脈と社会的アイデンティティプロセスの交互作用」についての新たなモデルを提出し、その妥当性を実証的に検討することであった。そのため、本年度は準実験研究および実験研究をそれぞれ1つずつ行った。まず、準実験を行った研究3では、皇太子妃が出産した時期(国家間競争・葛藤の弱い状況)、ワールドカップサッカー開催時(国家間競争・葛藤の強い状況)、そして北朝鮮問題発生時(国家間競争・葛藤の強い状況)の3つの時点において、大学生の愛国心と外国からの脅威の認知が互いに関連を持つかどうかを検討した。その結果、予測通り、愛国心と脅威の認知の間の正の関連は、国家間競争・葛藤の強い状況のみで見られた。次に、実験室実験を行った研究4では、大学生を参加者とし、自分の所属集団をその他の集団よりも優遇する「内集団ひいき」行動の出現パターン、および集団認知のパターンが、プライミングされた集団間文脈の違いによってどのように影響を受けるか検討した。その結果、予測とは異なり、内集団ひいき行動のパターンにも、集団認知のパターンにも、集団間文脈の操作が影響を与えなかった。このように研究4は必ずしも成功しなかったが、平成13年度からの4つの研究のうち3つにおいて仮説を支持する結果が...

    The goals of this study were (1) to construct a system for international collaborative experiments over internet, (2) to conduct a series of experiments with the newly constructed internet experiment system, and (3) to assess problems and difficulties in conducting cross-societal experiments over the internet. The first goal was mostly achieved during 1999, when a prototype of the experiment system was constructed. In 2000 and 2001, cross-societal experiments were conducted using the newly constructed system, first between Japan (Hokkaido University) and Australia (La Trobe University) and ...

  • 「心理的プロセスとしての集団主義」へのアプローチ-日本人とアメリカ人の集団主義の比較を通じて
    科学研究費補助金(奨励研究(A))
    1999 - 2000
    結城 雅樹
    本研究の目的は、内集団へのアイデンティティー(同一化)と忠誠心の心理過程を日米間で比較し、その差異と同質性を明らかにすることであった。この目的達成のために、本年度は相関研究と実験研究をそれぞれ1つずつ実施するとともに、理論の洗練化を行った。第1の相関研究では、日米の大学生を対象とし、所属大学に対する忠誠心の基礎となる要因を検討した。その結果、予測通り、米国人は、所属大学の地位を高く知覚し、自己と大学全体の同一視が強まるほど、大学に対してより強い忠誠心を感じていた。一方日本人は、他の学生たちとの個人レベルの同一視が強まるほど、強い忠誠心を感じていた。この結果は、昨年の研究の結果と一貫して、米国人の内集団アイデンティティーの心理過程は自己カテゴリー化モデルに当てはまるが、日本人の内集団アイデンティティー過程はネットワークモデルに当てはまるという仮説を支持するものであった。第2研究では、米国と日本の社会構造の違いが内集団アイデンティティー過程の違いを生み出すと仮定し、実験を行った。具体的には、米国は大きな集団間に頻繁に利益葛藤が見られる社会、一方日本はそれが比較的見られにくい社会であり、この異なる社会構造的文脈の中で異なる心理過程が生じるとの仮説を立てた。そこで実験室に二つの社会状況を人為的に作り出し、日本人実験参加者の行動がどのように異なるか検討した。参加者たちは、予測どおり、集...

    過去の文化心理学研究で見いだされた興味深い知見の一つに、北米などのいわゆる「個人主義文化」に暮らす人々のほうが、東アジアなどの「集団主義文化」の人々よりも積極的かつ親密に対人関係に関わるというものがある。本発表では、こうした対人心理の多様性の原因を説明するために、人々を取り巻く社会環境の特性－特に「関係流動性」という社会生態学的変数－が持つ影響に着目した話題提供者らの理論と実証研究の成果、またその意義を論じる。

    11月3日のアメリカ大統領選挙まで1カ月を切りました。4年前の選挙で、当初は泡沫（ほうまつ）候補だったトランプ氏の当選に一役買ったと取り沙汰され、今回も注目されるのが「隠れトランプ支持者」の動向です。隠れトランプ支持者とは、表向きは支持を明言しないものの、実はトランプ氏を応援している人たちのことです。アメリカ人と言えば、もともと政治的な会話にオープンなイメージがありますが、なぜトランプ氏への支持は隠したいのか――。アジア人とアメリカ人の心理や行動の違いを研究する北海道大学の結城雅樹教授（社会心理学）に分析してもらうと、明るくポジティブといわれるアメリカの人たちに特有の葛藤が見えてきました。, [Paper]
