    Abstract: Laughter is an important emotional expression in speech. The production is characterized simply by quasiperiodic glottal opening/closing gesture with relatively constant articulatory configuration. The acoustic consequence, however, is complicated and appears in the temporal characteristics of voiced-unvoiced category and pitch, the spectral envelope, and the segmental duration. In this study, acoustic parameters that characterize laughter were investigated from acoustical and perceptual points of view. Laughter /hahaha/ was selected as a typical laughter from conversational speech recording and the acoustic characteristics were compared with those of normally uttered speech /hahaha/. The acoustic analysis was performed in terms of pitch in average and its intrasegmental pattern, the spectral tilt and formant bandwidth, and the segmental duration of the vowel /a/ and the consonant /h/. Then, perceptually significant acoustic features were investigated by using means of replacement of the acoustic parameters of the normally uttered speech by those of the laughter in speech analysis-synthesis system. The results showed that an increased pitch in average and distinct intrasegmental pitch pattern as well as spectral envelope with broad bandwidths are significant features to characterize the laughter. The laughter synthesis by rule was also investigated by manipulating these acoustic parameters.

    Degree of Meaningfulness of an Event’s Ending Can Modulate Mixed Emotional Experiences Among Japanese Undergraduates

    Abstract: While people may experience mixed emotions when confronting a meaningful ending; it is unclear how much an ending’s meaningfulness contributes to evoking these mixed emotions. This study examined, among Japanese undergraduate students, whether different degrees of meaningfulness of an ending affected emotional experiences, and how time passage changed emotional intensity. Sixty-one Japanese students (37 females, 24 males; M age = 20.75, SD = 0.80) reported their emotional experiences and the degree of meaningfulness they assigned to the ending of the Heisei era at two time points-before and after the ending. As expected, participants who placed high meaningfulness to the ending of the Heisei era experienced a high level of mixed emotions, indicating that the degree of meaningfulness given to an ending can modulate emotional experiences. Furthermore, the specific emotions experienced (i.e., sadness or happiness) differed depending on the assessment time point, such that the meaningfulness of the ending played a key role in producing mixed emotional experiences in this sample.

    The Role of Peer Relations in Adolescent Development in Two Cultures : The Netherlands and Japan
    SAGE Publications ; 2002
    In:  Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology Vol. 33, No. 6 ( 2002-11), p. 577-595

    Abstract: The aims of this study were (a) to compare peer relations, developmental expectations, self-perceived competence, and well-being in Dutch and Japanese adolescents; and (b) to examine whether relationships among these constructs vary as a function of different cultures, that is, whether the same developmental model applies in both countries. The sample included 253 Dutch and 308 Japanese adolescents between 15 to 18 years of age. The same questionnaires assessing peer relations, developmental expectations, competence, and well-being were completed by adolescents individually in both samples. The results show that Dutch adolescents are more satisfied with their relationships with peers, expect to achieve developmental tasks at earlier ages, feel more competent about their abilities, and report a higher level of well-being than Japanese adolescents. Evidence with regard to different developmental processes in the two cultures was also found. Peer relations bear stronger associations with developmental expectations and well-being in Japanese than in Dutch adolescents.
