en: Differences in Victim Experiences by Gender/Sexual Minority Statuses in Japanese Virtual Communities

en: This study clarified the advantages of virtual communities on non-victim experiences among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning, intersex, and asexual (LGBTQIA) individuals in Japan. A total of 3504 Pigg Party users, including 1390 LGBTQIA individuals, reported their experiences of victimization, perceived emotional support, and concealment of their gender/sexual identity in both physical and virtual communities. Japanese individuals with multiple minority statuses had more victim experiences than those with a single or without minority status. Furthermore, differences in victim experiences by gender/sexual minority status were lower in the virtual community than in physical communities. Similar tendencies were also confirmed on perceived emotional support and concealment. Virtual communities provided a more bias-free social resource to Japanese LGBTQIA individuals than physical communities.

en: Craving for Gambling Predicts Income-Generating Offenses: A Pathways Model of a Japanese Prison Population.

en: The links between gambling and criminal offenses have been frequently reported, but the pathways from gambling to a particular offense have not. Our study applied a pathways model to predict participants' income-generating, drug-related, and violent offenses stemming from their craving for gambling. The participants were 332 male inmates in a Japanese local prison. They answered questionnaires on gambling behavior, alcohol addiction, Internet addiction, impulsivity, and psychopathy. Their official records with information on their current offense, sentence length, number of imprisonments, and length of education were also analyzed. The results show that 38.55% (n = 128) of the participants had a probable gambling disorder, a rate of problem gambling at least four times higher than that among the general Japanese population. Furthermore, their craving for gambling predicted their income-generating offenses, but not their drug-related and violent offenses. Their craving for gambling can thus be linked to their financial issues, rather than their emotional and impulsive issues. The pathways model explained the path not only from addiction/psychopathy to gambling, but also from gambling to committing an income-generating offense.

en: Effects of Personalized Feedback Interventions on Drug-Related Reoffending: a Pilot Study.

en: Addiction is serious problem that requires effective treatment. Previous studies support personalized feedback interventions (PFIs) as an effective treatment for drinking; however, the potential beneficial effects of this treatment on illegal drug use have not been explored. The present study examined the effects of PFIs in a sample of repetitive drug-related offenders. Participants were 50 repetitive drug-related offenders incarcerated in a Japanese prison. They were randomly assigned to the PFIs (n = 20) or control (n = 30) group. The PFIs group received six letters for 3 months, whereas the control group did not undergo any interventions. We defined relapse and recidivism as drug-related reoffending and reentering prison after release, respectively. In the 3.6-year follow-up analysis (range, 0.1-5.8 years), participants' criminal records were examined, and results indicated a decreased risk of relapse and recidivism for the PFIs group relative to the control group, even when controlling for age, educational level, number of prison terms, and sentence length. Thus, our findings suggest that PFIs reduce the likelihood of relapse and recidivism in drug-related offenders.

en: Couples cope with their stress as a unit rather than two isolated individuals. Couples coping were well examined by the Dyadic Coping Inventory (DCI) in European and American population, but not in Asian population. We aim to examine the applicability of DCI in Japanese married couples. Participants were 44 heterosexual couples in Japan. They answered the DCI and marital satisfaction. Results supported the applicability of DCI generally and showed several partner effects. The partner effects of DCI were discussed from the perspective of perceived social support.

en: The aim of the present study is to investigate reliabilities and validities of the Japanese version of the Communication Patterns Questionnaire (CPQ). Participants were 76 married women and 55 married men. They answered questions regarding their marital satisfaction, their orientation toward divorce, and the CPQ. Results suggested that almost all CPQ scales reached the same levels of reliability as previous studies. The CPQ also had significant relationships with participants' marital dissatisfaction and orientation toward divorce. These results were regarded as empirical evidence concerning the application of the CPQ to Japanese couples.

en: Educational level signals unobserved abilities of people with high functioning autism spectrum disorders.

en: The effect of educational level on employment of people with high functioning autism spectrum disorders (HFASD) was examined. If education augments natural abilities to accomplish tasks in people with HFASD, then those with more education would have comparative advantages in both obtaining and retaining jobs. In contrast, if education did not augment natural abilities and only signaled unobservable abilities, one would expect an advantage only in obtaining a job, but not in retention. 22 people with HFASD replied to questionnaires regarding their history of education and employment. Those with job experience had higher educational levels than those with no job experience, but educational level was not significantly different between groups with and without more than one year of job experience. Educational level seems to be associated with abilities, but probably the unobserved abilities underlie both educational attainment and employment history.
