이 교수의 연구실은 청소년기의 정서적 발달과 환경 영향에 대한 개인의 민감도를 중심으로, 성격 특성, 복원력, 환경 스트레스 요인 간의 상호작용을 탐구합니다. 특히 감각처리 민감도와 차별적 민감도 이론을 기반으로 하여, 긍정적·부정적 환경 자극에 대한 개인의 반응 차이가 정서적 웰빙에 어떻게 작용하는지 분석하고 있습니다. 장기적인 종단적 연구와 반복 측정을 통해 청소년의 삶의 전환기에서의 정서적 적응 메커니즘을 규명하고 있습니다.

Prior work has indicated that female adolescents mature more quickly than males with regard to the various personality dimensions. From the developmental perspectives, this study aimed to explore gender differences in the relationships between resilience and the Big Five personality traits in Japanese adolescents. Middle school students ( N = 310, 155 females, age range = 14-15 years) participated in an online survey. The results demonstrated that females had higher Conscientiousness than males.
Some researchers indicate that the transition to high school deflects adolescent developmental trajectories. Others assert that it provides a new possibility for the promotion of adolescents' socioemotional well-being. One critical view missing in such claims is that individual variabilities interact with environmental influences. We employed the framework of Differential Susceptibility Theory, which postulates that individual susceptibilities moderate external influences for better and for wors
Recent research into Person × Environment interaction has supported the view that sensitivity to environmental influences is a susceptibility factor rather than a vulnerability factor. Given this perspective, this study examined the role of the adolescent's sensory-processing sensitivity in the context of weekly life events and weekly socioemotional well-being. In the study, 114 adolescents repeatedly self-reported their sensitivity, recent life events, and recent socioemotional well-being in fo
<i>Environmental Sensitivity</i>, which explains individual differences in the tendency to respond more to both positive and negative environmental influences, can be measured by the self-reported Highly Sensitive Person scale. This paper introduced psychometric properties of a brief Japanese version of a 10-item measure of sensitivity (HSP-J10) developed by four studies involving 2,388 adults. The results showed that (1) the newly created HSP-J10 supported the bifactor structure (i.e., Ease of
Our findings suggest that high sensory processing sensitivity is associated with physical health. Some of the potential causes of this are also discussed.
Although the transition from junior high or middle school to high school can be a stressful turning point for youth socio-emotional development, the role of individual differences in susceptibility to the transition in adolescents' socio-emotional well-being remains unclear. The current study examined the developmental relation between how central the high school transition is to a student's identity or life course (i.e., event centrality) and socio-emotional well-being after transition. High sc
高校受験は, 多くの中学生にとってストレスフルな出来事である一方で, 生徒に心理的な成長をもたらす可能性もある。本研究では, パーソナリティ特性と知覚されたサポートが高校受験を通じたストレス関連成長に及ぼす影響を検討する。対象者は中学3年生（男子96名, 女子87名）であり, パーソナリティ特性, 知覚されたサポート, およびストレス関連成長で構成される尺度に回答した。階層的重回帰分析の結果, パーソナリティ特性と知覚されたサポートは, ストレス関連成長の全分散の30-50％程度を説明した。男子では, パーソナリティ特性と知覚されたサポートの交互作用がストレス関連成長と関連を示し, 女子では, パーソナリティ特性と知覚されたサポートの主効果のみが確認された。以上の検討から, パーソナリティ特性と知覚されたサポートの効果は, 生徒の性別や両要因の組み合わせによって異なることが示唆された。

Our study indicates that high environmental sensitivity can be a risk factor for inflammation and gut permeability, when the gut microbiota diversity is low, suggesting a brain-gut-microbiota axis interaction.
Based on the Differential Susceptibility Theory, we examined whether the relationship between pubertal maturation and depressive symptoms can be moderated by individual differences in environmental sensitivity. The current article used the three-wave data collected from Japanese adolescents aged from 12 to 15 years (girls = 111, boys = 98). Consequently, a significant Sensitivity × Pubertal Development interaction was observed in 12- to 13-year-old boys, but not girls. Sensitive boys who experie
Environmental sensitivity is a meta-concept that describes individual differences in susceptibility to both positive and negative environmental influences and has been repeatedly reported to correlate with other established personality traits, including the Big Five. The purpose of this study was to examine the correlation between the general factor of environmental sensitivity (GFS) and the general factor of personality (GFP). A total of 1,046 adult participants (52% female; <i>M</i><sub>age </
This study developed a Junior High School Students' Version of the Sensory Sensitivity Index (SSSI) to assess the characteristics of sensitive students. Participants included 250 students (119 boys, 112 girls, and 19 not categorized by gender). The results demonstrated that the 12-item SSSI consisted of two factors “Ease of Excitation” and “Environment Change Sensitivity.” The SSSI score was correlated to the Big Five personality traits, and was observed to be higher in left-handed students.
