• Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), 01 Apr. 2015 - 31 Mar. 2019, 15K04028, Study on the determinants for Internet use: the relation with others on Internet, NAKAYAMA Michiko, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, Nara Women's University, 2600000, 2000000, 600000, The relations between the Internet use and some psychological factors were investigated, targeted for the various generations.
  It was indicated that friendship-style of high school students influences their SNS use and negative experience with SNS. The investigation of a young adult showed that various SNS use brewed the On-line social capital and the sense of connection. It was also indicated that the tendency of social comparison or self-verifying moderated the relation between anxiety and information-seeking behavior of which the mother rearing a young child. Moreover, it was suggested that narcissism and the parent-child relationship recognition of mothers influenced their monitoring behavior to the children who are late adolescence., kaken

• Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), 01 Apr. 2012 - 31 Mar. 2016, 24530787, A study on the friendship between mothers: diversity of ties in their network and the effect of social context, Nakayama Michiko; IKEDA Yoko, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, Nara Women's University, 2210000, 1700000, 510000, In the present study, we supposed that “Mamatomo”, which means friendship between mothers rearing little children, formed small groups. The purposes of this study were (1) to examine how mothers formed networks with their friends (i.e., strength and diversity of ties in the networks), (2) to find the characteristics of interpersonal conflict among friends, and the effect of social context on conflicts and the coping strategies, (3) to examine the effect of relationship with friends on prosocial activities.
  The findings are as follows. (1) The ties in networks of mothers were relatively weak, (2) interpersonal conflicts were likely to be occurred in the groups with strong ties, (3) coping to the conflicts were moderated by social context (i.e., relational mobility), and (4) when mothers perceived good relationships with their friends in a prosocial activities, they had the intentions to participate in further prosocial activities., kaken

• Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), 2009 - 2011, 21530656, Study on Mum-friends : Motivation, structure and their conflicts, NAKAYAMA Michiko; NOMURA Haruo; IKEDA Youko, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, Nara Women's University, 2990000, 2300000, 690000, We studied on friendship between mothers rearing little children(i. e., mum-friend). As for expectation for the role of mum-friends, three factors were obtained, that is autonomy, similarity and support. Expectation for support was highest of them and it was suggested that mum-friendship was similar to friendship between female high school students. Moreover, it was found that expectation for autonomy was significantly higher in mum-friend than in female students. We also found three types of interpersonal conflicts between mum-friends ; that is, conflicts concerning with their children, conflicts concerning with friends' personality and conflicts by various causes. The types of conflicts yielded the difference of attitude to friends and coping strategies for conflicts., kaken

• Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), 2004 - 2005, 16530481, Study on cross-modal interaction between vision and proprioception and its brain processes, EGUSA Hiroyuki; NAKAYAMA Michiko; HASHIMOTO Fumihiko, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, SOAI University, 2800000, 2800000, We studied cross-modal interaction and its brain processes by conducting psychological and physiological experiments under following three themes.
  1.Studies on the type of reference frame that influences stimulus-response compatibility (SRC) effect.
  In the early studies, we (and other researchers) have used geographical stimuli. In present experiments, we used "face" figure stimuli by adding the parts like "eyes" and "a nose" and "clock" figures. We found that the object-centered frame had a stronger influence on SRC than the subject-centered one.
  2.Cross modal attentional blink phenomenon on visual and tactual perception.
  We unified the type of stimulus in visual-visual, visual-tactual, tactual-tactual, and tactual-visual tasks. In this method, we compared interference effects in these tasks. We found differences between visual or auditory attentional blink and tactual one.
  3.Adaptation to reversed vision and its effect on proprioception.
  We performed psychological and physiological experiments on adaptation caused by long-term wearing of reversing spectacles. We found that bilateral activation corresponding to horizontally symmetrical positions in the visual field was increased after adaptation., kaken

• Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), 2003 - 2005, 15500048, A Method for Sharing Distributed Multimedia Data with High Transparency and Portability, MATSUURA Toshio; YAMAI Nariyoshi; NAKAYAMA Michiko; ISHIBASHI Hayato; FUJIKAWA Kazutoshi; ABE Kota, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, Osaka City University, 3700000, 3700000, With growth of computing power and proliferation of broadband access to the Internet, demand for streaming applications which can access multimedia data such as video and audio via network has been increasing. Since such applications employ their own data formats and transmission protocols in order to guarantee QoS, there are few applications which are widely available on the Internet. However, to share huge amount of multimedia data on the Internet, it is desirable that a user can use any client applications.
  In this paper, we have proposed a method of sharing multimedia data using file system which provides QoS function. When a quality of multimedia data needs to be deteriorated, the file system of our method supplements data with padding according to the format of multimedia data so that the file size of multimedia data will not be changed. With this feature, a client application can access multimedia data on a server transparently keeping realtimeness. To confirm the effectiveness of our method, we have implemented our method and conduct an experiment on the actual network. The result of the experiment shows that our method is effective even on narrow band network environment., kaken

• Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), 2002 - 2003, 14510104, Study on brain process on visuo and propriocept cross-modal perception, TASHIRO Takara; HASHIMOTO Fumihiko; NAKAYAMA Michiko; MIYAUCHI Satoru; HAYASHI Mieko, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, Osaka City University, 3100000, 3100000, We studied the cross-modal (visual, tactile-propriocept) perception by conducting the psychological experiments under following three themes.
  1.Studies on the type of reference frame that influence the stimulus-response compatibility (S-R compatibility)
  To clarify the inner process of the S-R compatibility effect on the horizontal dimension, we conducted the experiments operating the relative right-left and absolute right-left dimension, and operating the relevance to task of these dimension. We found that the similarities of dimensions and the position of the target (stimulus) that the task makes the subjects to pay attention influence the process of the S-R compatibility effect on the horizontal dimension.
  2.Cross-modal attentional blink phenomenon on visual and tactile perception
  We examined whether the attentional blink would occur on the visual-tactile cross-modal perception. There was cross-modal interference between the visual task to the tactile task. (On this experiment, we use the first task on visual (to detect the letter defined by the color) and the second task on tactile (to detect the blank). It showed this interference effect was maintained for long time than the effect on the visual uni-modal task.
  We had the other experiments by using the piezo tactile device. There was no attentional blink on the tactile uni-modal
  3.Research on the perceptional learning process wearing the (right -left, top -down) reverse glass.
  We examined the transfer of the long-range interaction across the hemifield by prism adaptation. We found it demonstrates large-scale plasticity in early visual system induced by reversed retinoptopic input. The global transfer can be achieved rapidly within a few days and it is long lasting.
  We also conducted the psychological experiment on the side of cognition with top-down reversed figures., kaken

• 奨励研究(A), 1999 - 2000, 11710037, 漢字処理の独立性が熟語の認知に及ぼす影響, 中山 満子, 日本学術振興会, 科学研究費助成事業, 大阪市立大学, 1100000, 1100000, 漢字の語彙性が漢字熟語の認知過程に及ぼす影響についての実験的検討を行った。予備調査として、漢字の語彙性について、文献調査と被験者の主観評価による調査を行った。
  実験は、熟語中の漢字1文字をプライムとする部分反復プライミングパラダイムと語彙性判定課題を用いた。プライムを「1文字で語として機能するタイプ」「熟語の部分としてしか機能しないタイプ」「中間のタイプ」に分けて検討した結果、プライムのタイプとプライム-ターゲットのSOAの間に、交互作用が見られ、語として機能するタイプのプライムは、SOAが長くなるとプライミング効果が小さくなるという結果が得られた。
  次に、語彙性の影響と、意味情報および音韻情報の影響との関連を明らかにするために、プライムとターゲットの意味的関連と音韻一致性を統制して実験を行った。主たる条件は、プライムの語彙性であり、語として機能するタイプのプライムは、さらにプライムとターゲットの意味関連の有無と音韻一致/不一致を操作した。SOAは30msec、50msec、70msecの3条件であり、プライムの前後にはマスキングをかけた。実の結果、プライムの語彙性の効果に傾向が見られた。意味関連性と音韻一致性の影響は明らかにはならなかった。また、プライムが語として機能するタイプの場合、no試行において非単語を単語であると判断してしまう誤答が多く見られた。これは、プライム漢字が語として機能するタイプの場合、単語としての表象が活性化されることによると考えられる。
  本研究から、漢字の語彙性による熟語認知過程への影響が部分的に明らかになった。1文字で「語として機能する漢字は単語」としての語彙記憶表象を持ち、漢字の処理と熟語の処理との相互作用は、漢字の語彙性によって異なることが示唆される。, kaken
