- Refereed, Japanese Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, Japanese Group Dynamics Association, Who hold higher risk perception and anxiety toward COVID-19? Focusing on gender, age and media exposure, Kaori Ando; Hiroki Takehashi; Yusuke Umegaki; Rina Tanaka, The present study examined the determinants of risk perception and anxiety toward COVID-19, which is a new threat for human beings. As determinants, we focused on the effects of gender, age, and media exposure. The present study was conducted online, which obtained 1555 valid responses. The results showed that women consistently perceived higher risk and had higher anxiety toward COVID-19. As for age groups, risk perception was higher in 60s, but there was no difference in anxiety, while estimations of the probability of infection was highest among 60s. Obtaining information from the television and online news was related with risk perception whilst obtaining information from SNS was related with anxiety. An optimism bias was also observed in the present study. The present study found that the risk perception of COVID-19 differs depending on gender and age. The results suggested that we should consider these differences in risk communication of COVID-19., 2022, 62, 1, 12, 24, Scientific journal, 10.2130/jjesp.2102

- Not Refereed, SAGE Publications, What causes the difference in mean structures between online and paper-and-pencil administrations?: Examination using the Self-report Depression Scale, Naoya Todo; Yusuke Umegaki, Due to the many advantages of online surveys, many researchers are
taking advantage of this survey method. Although for many psychological instruments, previous
studies have shown that online and paper-and-pencil administration formats have
equivalent results, other studies have shown that some online surveys result in
different score distributions from those observed through paper-and-pencil
administration. In this study, we conducted surveys using Zung’s
self-report depression scale (SDS) to Japanese undergraduates both online and
through paper-and-pencil and examined whether there are differences between different
administration formats only in the scale’s mean structures and, if so, why the
difference occurs. Analysis results showed that
there was the difference only in mean structures. Results also implied that
the online administration format lowers item thresholds; this decrease would
cause the difference between the two formats’ mean structures. Finally, we think
about the future directions of this research; to examine whether similar
results would be seen in other scales, other countries, and other generations., Mar. 2021, Technical report, 10.31124/advance.14332979.v1 - Not Refereed, Bulletin of the Nara Women's University Clinical Psychology Center, Common factors and specific factors of psychotherapy: Factors that bring about psychotherapeutic change (In Japanese), Mar. 2021, 8, 43, 49

そこで本研究は、社会的孤立の中でも身体的・精神的問題に対して“援助要請しない地域在住高齢者”に焦点を当て、1)当事者の人生において援助要請しない状況に至った心理的要因、2)身体的・精神的問題が生じた際に当事者が発する微妙な援助要請兆候、3)当事者に対する家族や近隣、専門家(医療職・福祉職)の着眼点と予防的介入の時期・方策を明確化することを目的とする。これらの知見を礎に高齢者の社会的孤立のない社会の実現を目指す。
身体的・精神的問題に対して援助要請しない高齢者を対象とすることは実現可能性が低いため、かつて援助要請しなかったが、現在はサービス機関の利用に至った地域在住の高齢者本人と、そこに関わりをもつ専門家を対象にインタビューを行っている。
本研究はライフヒストリ―法を基に行う。ライフヒストリー法は当事者の生活史を長いタイムスパンで記述することにより、実証研究に向けた新しい仮説や理論を導き出す研究法である。当事者にはライフヒストリー・インタビューを実施し、幼少期から時系列で話をして貰う。専門家には現在までの当事者への関わり(アセスメントや対応)を尋ね、特に当事者に尋ねた経過や状態と照合できるように時期を明確に聞き取る。, kaken - Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), Apr. 2021 - Mar. 2024, 21K03054, Development and feasibility-testing of rumination-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy therapists' manual, 加藤 健徳; 梅垣 佑介, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), Keio University, 4160000, 3200000, 960000, 残遺性うつ病の維持要因である反芻を標的とした新規認知行動療法プログラムである反芻焦点化認知行動療法(rumination-focused CBT: RF-CBT)を、わが国での臨床実践に用いられるRFCBT治療者マニュアル作成に取り組んだ。具体的にはRF-CBT開発者であるWatkins教授によるRF-CBT治療プロトコールや、Watkins教授の講義・ワークショップの記録をもとに、RF-CBT治療者マニュアルの全体構成を決定した。構成内容として、第1部としてRF-CBTの概説・基本原理、機能分析総論、治療セッションの進め方、第2部としてRF-CBTのアセスメント・心理教育・機能分析各論、代替行動(If-Thenプラン)、第3部としてWhy-How行動実験、没頭体験 (Absorption)、コンパッション (Compassion)、治療終結と再発予防、を含む3部構成とした。マニュアルの内容解説に用いるため、本研究グループでWatkins教授らのスーパーバイズを受けてRF-CBTを実践した事例をもとにしたモデルケースを作成した。
現在、当研究グループではWatkins教授によるRF-CBT治療プロトコールの翻訳作業が同時に進行中である。RF-CBT治療者マニュアルは、開発者の治療プロトコールを理論的基盤としながらも、事例の解説もふくめてより臨床的、実践的な内容として反映させていく。
R3年度は、実施中の臨床試験で用いられるRF-CBT治療者マニュアルの素案作成が進められた。, kaken - Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), Apr. 2021 - Mar. 2024, 21K03045, Implementation of evidence-based rumination-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy, Umegaki, Y, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), Nara Women's University, 4030000, 3100000, 930000, 本研究課題は、反芻焦点化認知行動療法(RFCBT;Watkins, 2016)の我が国での実践を促進するため、(a)効果尺度の検討、(b)実践における課題の検討、(c)普及活動の促進を行うものである。
(a)に関しては、自己評定式の反芻尺度RRSで測定される反芻の我が国における特徴を明らかにするための調査研究を計画し、奈良女子大学研究倫理審査委員会より承認を得た。2022年度中に調査を実施予定である。
(b)に関しては、RFCBT自助プログラムを用いた多層ベースライン法によるケース・シリーズの介入を概ね終了し、現在フォローアップ・データの収集を行っている。同研究の分析結果の一部は、2022年度に国内のCBT関連の主要学会で発表予定である。また、同研究の前に実施した自助プログラム介入研究から得た質的データの再分析を行い、2021年7月に開催された7th Asian Cognitive Behavior Therapy Conferenceで発表した(Umegaki & Watkins, 2021)。この発表は、大会で最優秀の発表1件に授与されるBest Research Awardを受賞した。
さらに実践の幅を広げるため、協力先クリニックでうつ・不安患者を対象とした対面式RFCBTの実践を計画・開始した。介入計画をUMINに登録し、奈良女子大学研究倫理審査委員会から承認を得て、介入研究を開始した。結果は事例研究あるいはケース・シリーズの形で、学会発表・論文発表を行う予定である。
(c)に関しては、慶應義塾大学と共同でRFCBTマニュアル(Watkins, 2016)の翻訳作業を進めた。2022年度中の刊行を予定している。また、ガイド付きオンラインRFCBTの取り組みについて、第21回日本認知療法・認知行動療法学会大会企画シンポジウムで発表を行った(梅垣,2021)。, kaken - Grant-in-Aid for Early-Career Scientists, Apr. 2018 - Mar. 2021, 18K13348, Research on "common factors" of psychotherapy in cognitive and behavioral therapies, Yusuke Umegaki, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Grant-in-Aid for Early-Career Scientists, Nara Women's University, 2340000, 1800000, 540000, This project aimed to investigate the effects of common and specific factors of psychotherapy among cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and what proportion of both factors maximizes its effectiveness. First, I investigated the effectiveness and participant experiences of a rumination-focused CBT (RFCBT) self-help program. Adopting a mixed-methods design, this study suggested that while some benefit from learning specific factors, others may have found it difficult, and some elements of therapy may be better delivered in a mixture of specific and common factors (Umegaki et al., in press). Based on these results and discussion, translation of the RFCBT therapist manual is under way. Further, comparative investigations following discussions with collaborators with other theoretical backgrounds (Morita Therapy, counselling psychology) were conducted (Umegaki, 2021; Umegaki & Minami, 2020; Umegaki et al., 2019)., kaken
- Grant-in-Aid for Young Scientists (B), Apr. 2015 - Mar. 2018, 15K17295, Development and evaluation of an Internet-based self-help program for prevention and treatment of depression and anxiety, Yusuke Umegaki, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Grant-in-Aid for Young Scientists (B), Nara Women's University, 3900000, 3000000, 900000, The findings of the present research project are as follows. First, following a review of past studies, it was suggested that Internet-based self-help programs may facilitate actual help-seeking behavior (Umegaki, 2016). Second, a cognitive-behavioral therapy self-help program targeting rumination and worry (risk factors for depression and anxiety) was developed, and its preventive effect was examined. Although we are still in the middle of the follow-up data collection process at May 2018, analyses of interview data collected from program completers indicated that “learning new coping strategies” and “self-analysis and self-understanding” were achieved through the program (Umegaki, Matsuoka, Iwagaki, and Higuchi, 2018)., url

- 特別研究員奨励費, 2012 - 2013, 12J10399, うつ病罹患者の心理援助へのアクセスを改善するための臨床心理学研究, 梅垣 佑介, 日本学術振興会, 科学研究費助成事業, 東京大学, 1800000, 1800000, うつ病・抑うつに対しては、エビデンスにより有効性の裏付けがある程度なされた心理学的援助技法が存在するが、必要とする多くの人が適切な援助を受けられていない「サービス・ギャップ」という現象が知られる。本研究課題ではサービス・ギャップの改善を目指し、うつに苦しむ者が心理援助に対してアクセスしやすくするために(1)援助要請行動を促進する、(2)従来とは違う形態のサービスとしてインターネット上で援助プログラムを提供し効果を検討する、という二つの観点から研究を行った。(1)については、大学生を対象とし、うつや自殺といった問題に関して学内の相談機関に援助を求める際の内的プロセスをモデル化し、各段階を促進する要因を検討した(木村・梅垣・水野, 印刷中)。結果から、援助要請を促進するには当事者の認識にあったかかわりが重要であることが示された。また、研究代表者が前年度から進めてきた援助要請行動に関する各研究を連ねた博士論文が書籍として刊行された(梅垣, 2014)。(2)については、臨床心理学研究におけるインターネットの役割を考察したうえで(末木・梅垣, 2014)、認知行動療法のセルフ・ヘルプ・プログラムをオンラインで提供している英国エクセター大学に一年間渡航し、プログラムの開発と実施、ランダム化比較試験による効果の検討に関わった。これらはいずれも国内外の学術誌への投稿論文として執筆中、または発表予定である。結果はまだ分析途中であるが、インターネット上で提供されるプログラムは対面式の治療・援助にアクセスできない人に対しても提供でき、対面式援助と同等の効果が見込める可能性が示されている。プログラム上である程度まで進んだ参加者にはうつ症状の有意な改善が見られており、自助プログラムとして有望な結果が得られつつある。, kaken
