Japanese Journal of Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies, 47(2) 1-13, 2021 Peer-reviewedLead authorCorresponding authorThe demand for the educational practices using information and communication technology in Japanese schools and the widespread of COVID-19 infection require the development of effective distance learning support. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness and social validity of distance learning support for reading Kanji using stimulus pairing procedures in two students with developmental disabilities. For this purpose, in Case I, we supported the child’s independent learning via video meetings and e-mails, and in Case Ⅱ, we used only video meetings. In both cases, we used a multiple probe design to examine the effects of the interventions. We measured the percentage of Kanji words read correctly throughout the study. The results indicated that the percentage of Kanji words read correctly improved in both cases. In addition, participants and their parents rated the distance learning support as excellent. However, there were some problems in maintaining the intervention effect in Case I. Future issues such as improving the maintenance of the intervention effect, examining the generalization of the intervention effect, and the procedural fidelity were discussed.

Japanese Journal of Behavior Analysis, 34(2) 198-210, Mar, 2020 Peer-reviewedLead authorCorresponding authorSchool-wide positive behavior support (SWPBS) and response to intervention (RTI) are widely researched evidence-based practices in schools in the United States. Although academic response to intervention has been introduced little by little in Japanese special needs education, only a small amount of practical research based on response to intervention has been done. Response to intervention has many components in common with school-wide positive behavior support and is closely related to behavior analysis, however, these relationships have rarely been referred to in Japanese academic journals. The present article describes the core components of response to intervention (multi-tiered prevention system, screening, progress monitoring, data-based decision making) and conceptualizes some response to intervention components (data-based decision making and teaming) as a process of establishing stimulus control of teachers’ behavior. The recent development of multi-tiered system of support (MTSS), a framework that integrates response to intervention and school-wide positive behavior support, is also described. Finally, future directions toward a system level approach for school reform in Japan are discussed in terms of behavioral contingencies inside and outside schools.

Japanese Journal of Behavior Analysis, 34(2) 244-257, Mar, 2020 Peer-reviewedStudy objectives: To implement Tier 1 support of school-wide positive behavior support (SWPBS) and to examine its effectiveness and social validity. Design: AB design. Setting: One public elementary school. Participants: All school personnel and all students at the school. Intervention: A positive behavior matrix was developed, and behavior support plans for each target behavior were developed and implemented. Measures: A tally of the number of students engaged in the targeted behaviors, and data obtained using an interval recording method. In addition, a rating scale was administered 3 times, and the average scores of all students at each administration were compared. Social validity data were collected using a questionnaire. Results: The target behaviors increased after the intervention, and scores on the rating scale improved, suggesting a certain social validity. Conclusion: The results suggest that the Tier 1 support implemented in the present study was effective and had acceptable social validity. However, several challenges were identified, including problems with team management and with moving to Tiers 2 and 3 support, as determined by the data and the reliability of the data.

LD研究, 29(1) 45-56, Feb, 2020 Peer-reviewedLead authorCorresponding authorThe reliability and validity of the mathematics curriculum-based measurement (M-CBM) were investigated in Japanese elementary school students. Elementary school students from grade 1-6 participated in study 1. The classroom teachers administered M-CBM three times at the end of each term and mathematics achievement test (Norm-Referenced Test in mathematics: Tatsuno et al., 2009) at the end of the third term. Results demonstrated that the scores of M-CBM increased across time, and the M-CBM scores significantly correlated with mathematics achievement test score. These results suggest that the M-CBM is sensitive to change, and has high concurrent, and predictive validity. In study 2, the author examined the test-retest reliability (one week) and the alternate form reliability of the M-CBM in elementary school students. Results indicated that the test-retest reliability and the alternate form reliability were sufficiently high. It is concluded that the M-CBM can be used with Japanese elementary school students as a screening and progress monitoring tool.

Journal of Health Psychology Research, 31(1) 31-41, Aug 1, 2018 Peer-reviewed<p>Bullying is a major problem in schools. Many studies conducted in the U.S. and Europe have indicated relationships between parenting behaviors and bullying and peer victimization. However, only a few studies in Japan have investigated these relationships. Therefore, the study examined associations between parenting behaviors and experiences of bullying and victimization in all elementary and junior-high schools students in a suburban Japanese city. Parents assessed their parenting behaviors and the degree of their children's experience of bullying behaviors or victimization in the last year using parent-reported measures. Multinomial logistic regression analysis indicated that parental involvement and monitoring was associated with experiences of victimization at school. Furthermore, negative parenting behaviors, especially rigid discipline, was related to all experiences of bullying, including the bully, the victim, and the bully-victim. These findings suggest that the improvement of parenting behaviors could prevent children and adolescents from bullying other students or being victimized at schools.</p>

JJDP, 27(2) 158-166, Jun 20, 2018 Peer-reviewedLead authorCorresponding author<p>The present study investigated the stability of aggression by analyzing five-year longitudinal data of elementary and junior high school students in one suburban Japanese city. Approximately 2,500 students (3rd grade through 9th grade) participated in this study. The latent trait-state model (Cole & Maxwell, 2009) with multiple group analysis was conducted to analyze the five-year three cohort data. The authors measured aggression with the Hostility-Aggression Questionnaire for Children (Sakai et al., 2000). Results showed that the trait-state model was best fitted to aggression, indicating that both the trait factor and an autoregressive occasion factor contributed to the degree of aggression. The data also indicated that the trait component explained the state of aggression moderately well, although there were sex differences for this result. In addition, the effect of the trait component on aggression increased with grade level. This finding suggests that the individual differences in aggression become fixed during late elementary school and junior high school.</p>

The Annual Report of Educational Psychology in Japan, 57 179-191, 2018 Peer-reviewedInvitedLead authorCorresponding author<p> An increasing number of educational research and practices regarding applied behavior analysis has been conducted in Japanese educational settings. However, few studies have addressed behavioral instruction for academic skills in Japan. This paper presents current applied behavior analytic studies for academic skills instruction. First, a behavior analytic account of academic problems is presented. Second, studies on academic instruction in Japan and the United States during the past decade are reviewed. Third, an instructional model developed through the collaboration with applied behavior analysis such as Direct Instruction and response to intervention are presented. Finally, some issues that should be addressed to facilitate applied behavior analytic studies for academic skills instruction are suggested.</p>

行動分析学研究, 31(2) 153‐162-162, Feb 15, 2017 Peer-reviewedLead authorCorresponding author<p><i>Study objective:</i> The present study examined the generalization and social validity of a stimulus pairing procedure used to teach 2 elementary school students with intellectual disabilities to read kanji. <i>Design:</i> Multiple-probe design across materials. <i>Setting:</i> A classroom for students with special needs in a Japanese public elementary school. <i>Participants:</i> 2 elementary school students with intellectual disabilities. <i>Intervention:</i> In the stimulus pairing procedure, kanji words and spoken sounds were simultaneously presented for 2 sec, followed by corresponding pictures for 2 sec. Students were required to repeat the spoken sounds immediately. <i>Measure:</i> Percentage of correctly read kanji words. <i>Results:</i> The percentage of kanji words read correctly by both students increased during the stimulus pairing procedure and was maintained for about 10 days. In addition, the students' kanji reading skill generalized to reading sentences in a passage. Despite some individual differences, teachers' ratings of the acceptability of the intervention were good. <i>Conclusions</i>: The stimulus pairing procedure was effective for teaching kanji reading to elementary school students with intellectual disabilities, and it was applicable to a school setting.</p>

発達心理学研究, 27(1) 59-71, Mar 20, 2016 Peer-reviewedWe examined the extent to which developmental appraisal by nursery teachers predicts psychosocial maladaptation in elementary school, and developed the Developmental Scale for Nursery Record (DSNR). A 7-year longitudinal investigation was conducted on 2,400 children from all day nursery and elementary schools in a suburban Japanese city. Nursery school teachers used the Nursery Teacher's Rating Development Scale for Children (NDSC) to assess children's development. Multiple regression analysis revealed that externalizing problems were predicted by tendencies of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (hyperactivity and inattention), while internalizing problems were predicted by tendencies of autism spectrum disorder (sociality, flexibility, and communication) and tendencies of developmental coordination disorder (gross motor control). Academic performance was influenced by tendencies of the three disorders (inattention, communication, and fine motor control). Item-level analysis identified 35 items that contributed to the prediction of psychosocial maladaptation, and these items were assigned to the DSNR. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the DSNR had optimal levels of reliability and factorial validity. Despite substantial reduction of the number of items, the DSNR showed as much predictive accuracy as did the original NDSC.

Japanese Journal of Educational Psychology, 64(2) 170-183, 2016 Peer-reviewedThe present study surveyed the current status of abnormal eating behavior among elementary and junior high school students, using a self-report questionnaire designed by the authors. Valid responses were obtained from 4,952 students (2,511 boys and 2,441 girls) who were in elementary school grades 4 through 6, and in all 3 years of junior high school. Confirmatory factor analysis of the questionnaire data supported a two-factor structure: "drive for thinness" and "bulimia", and measurement invariance across gender, grade, and body mass index (BMI). The scores on drive for thinness were higher for the girls than for the boys, especially in grades 8 and 9. Although the score distribution for bulimia was similar across gender and grade, the girls' scores increased slightly with grade. Drive for thinness was more strongly correlated with depression than with aggression, whereas bulimia was more strongly correlated with aggression. Both factors were correlated with academic performance problems and family relationships in both the boys and the girls, specifically with the boys' peer problems and the girls' student-teacher relationship problems.

発達心理学研究, 26(4) 332-343, Dec 20, 2015 Peer-reviewedThis study investigated the relationship between experiences of bullying and victimization with the traits of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in nursery school, elementary school, and junior high school children in one Japanese city. The parents of 8,396 toddlers and 1<sub>st</sub>–9<sub>th</sub> grade youngsters completed questionnaires. They assessed their children's ASD and ADHD traits and various forms of bullying and victimization experienced by their children during the past year. Ordinal logistic regression analysis showed that both ASD and ADHD traits were associated with all forms of bullying and victimization. Controlling for the effects of other independent variables, ASD traits were associated with all forms of victimization, whereas ADHD traits were associated with all forms of bullying and victimization except physical victimization. In addition, ASD traits indicated more potent effects on victimization than ADHD traits. Finally, ASD and ADHD traits differed in interaction effects for grade and gender.

小児の精神と神経, 55(2) 117-126, Jul 1, 2015 Peer-reviewed強迫性障害は、強迫観念および強迫行為といった強迫症状によって特徴づけられる児童思春期に好発する精神疾患であり、一般児童生徒でも強迫症状の傾向を持つ子どもが存在することが知られている。本研究では子どもの強迫傾向を質問紙で測定し、一般児童生徒の強迫傾向から抑うつ、攻撃性の問題がどの程度予測することが可能かを縦断的に検討した。単一市内全校調査によって、4年間にわたり公立小中学校の児童生徒2,275名に対して質問紙調査を実施した。その結果、一般児童生徒では強迫傾向が高いほど、のちに抑うつの出現する可能性が示され、抑うつほどではないが攻撃性が上昇する傾向が示された。すなわち強迫傾向は、のちに現れる抑うつや攻撃性の予兆となる前駆症状の一つであることを示唆している。子どもの強迫傾向を事前にとらえることで、のちの抑うつや攻撃性の出現リスクを把握することにつながり、学力不振や不登校、非行行為の防止や改善に寄与する介入を実施することが期待される。(著者抄録)

発達心理学研究, 26(1) 13-22, Mar 20, 2015 Peer-reviewedAlthough previous studies in Japan have reported on the prevalence of bullying behaviors and peer victimization, little is known about the severity of internalizing and externalizing problems exhibited by students in Japan. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the relationships of bullying and/or victimization with internalizing and externalizing problems. Students (<i>N</i>=4,936, grades 4–9) completed a series of self-report questionnaires that assessed bullying behaviors, victimization, depression, self-harm, aggression, and delinquency. In addition, class teachers rated students' absenteeism, i.e., how many days students were absent during the previous spring term. The results indicated that about 10% of the students had experienced bullying or victimization more than once a week. Rational and verbal bullying reportedly occurred more frequently than other types of bullying. Compared to students who were not involved with bullying and victimization, victimized students more frequently reported elevated depression and self-harm. Furthermore, it was shown that students who bullied peers self-reported more aggression, and delinquent behavior was indicated by a higher percentage of those who had experienced both bullying of other students and peer victimization.

発達心理学研究, 25(4) 477-488, Dec 20, 2014 Peer-reviewedResponse styles may prolong and increase depression among children and adolescents. The purpose of the current study was to develop a Response Styles Questionnaire for Middle School Students (RSQ-MS), based on data from a sample of 4th through 9th grade school children (<i>N</i>=5,217). Drawing on previous questionnaires which measured responses styles, a total 16 items were generated that were assumed to represent four factors: Rumination, Problem-Solving, Escape from Thinking, and Distraction. As predicted, the results of an exploratory factor analysis indicated that four factors could be derived from the RSQ-MS. Correlations among these factors were similar to the correlations found in previous related studies, and the subscales of the RSQ-MS exhibited acceptable levels of Cronbach's <i>alpha</i>. In addition, the Rumination subscale was positively correlated with depression and aggression, and the Problem-Solving and Distraction subscales were negatively correlated with depression and aggression. These results were in line with the results of past research, which suggests that the RSQ-MS has strong construct validity.

The Japanese Journal of Developmental Psychology, 25(3) 221-231, Sep, 2014 Peer-reviewedThis study identified 7 subordinate concepts of parenting behaviors (involvement, positive responsivity, monitoring, respect for will, overprotection, inconsistency, and harsh discipline) based on factor structures of existing scales and findings from a meta-analysis. It also developed an inclusive scale to evaluate all of these concepts. Confirmatory factor analysis on a large dataset from 7,208 children (grades 1 to 9) supported a 6-factor model where Involvement and Monitoring were integrated, suggesting that the scale can generally be evaluated, assumed subordinate concepts of parenting. A second-order factor model, wherein these 6 factors were assumed to be explained by 2 second-order factors (Positive Parenting and Negative Parenting), was superior to a model based on expert classifications and the first-order factor model which did not assume second-order factors in terms of fit and parsimony. Consistent with previous findings, Positive Parenting and its subscales correlated with children's prosocial behavior and externalizing problems. Negative Parenting and its subscales correlated with children's internalizing and externalizing problems. These results substantiated the construct validity of the scale.

保育学研究, 52(1) 80-89, Aug 31, 2014 Peer-reviewedThis study investigated the effectiveness of the Nursery School Teacher Rating Developmental Scale for Children-Revised Version (NDSC-R) to predict children's adaptation and maladaptation in elementary school. There were two kinds of data available for 783 children in 2 cohort studies: the NDSC-R, completed by nursery school teachers, and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ), completed by elementary school teachers. The SDQ of the first cohort study (414 children) was conducted in the first grade and the SDQ of the second cohort study (369 children) was conducted in the fourth grade. Multiple linear regression analyses and risk analyses indicated that subscale scores of the NDSC-R were predictive of each subscale scores and the total difficulties score of the SDQ in first grade and fourth grade.

Shinrigaku Kenkyu, 85(3) 304-312, Aug 1, 2014 Peer-reviewedWe examined the psychometric properties of the Japanese version of the Autism Spectrum Screening Questionnaire (ASSQ) and developed a short-form. This study included 157 children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD, ages 7-18, 128 boys) and 4, 101 healthy controls (ages 7-15, 3, 344 boys) from a general population with a controlled male-female ratio. Four factors (Unusual Interests, Sociality, Peer Relations, and Repetitive Behaviors) were extracted by exploratory factor analysis of control group data. Confirmatory factor analysis revealed that the 4-factor model fit well with data for another sample of the control and ASD groups. Logistic analysis showed that the former 3 factors could significantly predict ASD diagnosis. Thus, a short form of the ASSQ was developed, consisting of 11 items for these 3 factors. This short form showed sufficient internal consistency and high discrimination power for ASD diagnosis that was comparable to that of the 22-item version. Receiver operating characteristic analysis indicated an optimal cut-off of 7 for the 22-item version (sensitivity .949, specificity .801) and 5 for the short-form (sensitivity .936, specificity .818).

発達心理学研究, 25(1) 58-66, Mar 20, 2014 Peer-reviewedThis study investigated relations between scores on the Nursery Teachers Rating Development Scale for Children (NDSC) and school adaptation, as well as the predictability of school adaptation based on NDSC scores. Two kinds of data were available for 386 toddlers: the NDSC as completed by nursery school teachers in the previous academic year at nursery school, and the Teachers Rating School Adaptation Scale for Elementary School Students-All Student Version (TSSA-EA) completed by elementary school teachers six months after these children finished nursery school. Analyses of correlations between the NDSC and TSSA-EA revealed a relation between the NDSC scores and school adaptation. Multiple linear regression analyses and risk analyses indicated that the subscales of the NDSC predicted the following subscales of the TSSA-EA: Academic Problems, Psychosomatic Problems, Interpersonal Problems, and Emotional Problems.

Journal of Special Education Research, 2(2) 71-79, Feb, 2014 Peer-reviewedLead authorCorresponding authorWe examined the impact of three-tiered instruction on multiplication facts for Japanese second-grade public elementary students (N=59). In Tier 1 (about three months), all students received regular classroom instruction from their classroom teachers. We monitored the accuracy and fluency of their performance on multiplication facts. In Tier 2 (about one month), teachers conducted a 10-minute supplemental instruction (flash card practice) (n=17). In Tier 3 (about three weeks), students (n=5) practiced multiplication facts through the "cover-copy-compare" method and a timed trial procedure. We calculated the percentage of correctly answered problems and assessed the number of correct and incorrect problems per minute in 1-minute timed trials. A multiple probe design across instructional materials was used to evaluate the effect of Tier 3 instruction. Fifty-three of the 59 students demonstrated mastery of all multiplication facts during Tier 1 and Tier 2. However, the remaining six students including one who did not complete the study did not master all multiplication facts in Tier 3. Results of this study suggest concrete practical issues that should be addressed in future practical research.

The Japanese Journal of Special Education, 52(4) 287-296, 2014 Peer-reviewedLead authorCorresponding authorThe present study examined the impact of behavioral instruction on 2 second-grade students' fluency with multiplication facts. The participants were public elementary school students who had difficulty in learning multiplication facts. After-school instructional sessions were conducted twice a week. The instructional package consisted of the "Cover-Copy-Compare" method (Skinner, Turco, Beatty, & Rasavage, 1989) and a timed-trial procedure with goal setting and feedback. First, each student learned multiplication facts with the Cover-Copy-Compare method. Then, they practiced them in 30-second timed trials with goal setting and feedback. If they beat their previous score, they received stickers that they liked. The number of correct and incorrect problems in these trials was recorded. A multiple probe design across 3 sets of instructional materials was used to evaluate the impact of the behavioral instruction. The results showed that both students increased their fluency with multiplication facts. However, 1 student's degree of improvement was not adequate, even though the instructional materials were modified for that student. The discussion deals with the need for refining instructional procedures and using other experimental designs.

RESEARCH IN DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES, 34(9) 2909-2916, Sep, 2013 Peer-reviewedLead authorCorresponding authorThe purpose of this study was to explore the relationships between attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder and developmental coordination disorder symptoms and writing performance in Japanese second grade students from regular classrooms. The second grade students (N = 873) in Japanese public elementary schools participated in this study. We examined a variety of writing tasks, such as tracing, copying, handwriting (Hiragana and Katakana), and spelling (Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji). We employed the Japanese version of the home form ADHD-rating scale (ADHD-RS) and the Japanese version of the Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire (DCDQ-J) to assess the developmental characteristics of the participating children. Seven writing performance scores were submitted to a principal component analysis with a promax rotation, which yielded three composite scores (Spelling Accuracy, Tracing and Copying Accuracy, and Handwriting Fluency). A multiple regression analysis found that inattention predicted Spelling Accuracy and Handwriting Fluency and that hyperactive-impulsive predicted Handwriting Fluency. In addition, fine motor ability predicted Tracing and Copying Accuracy. The current study offered empirical evidence suggesting that developmental characteristics such as inattention and fine motor skill are related to writing difficulties in Japanese typical developing children.

Shinrigaku Kenkyu, 84(2) 169-175, Jun, 2013 Peer-reviewedThe present study examines the relationship among inattentive, and hyperactive-impulsive behavior, aggression, and depression in elementary school and junior high school students. The participants were 3, 885 children and their teachers and caregivers. Children's inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive behavior was rated by their teachers and caregivers (ADHD-RS). Children rated aggression (HAQ-C) and depression (DSRS-C) themselves. Inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive behavior rated by teachers and caregivers were positively related to aggression and depression. Inattention predicted higher levels of aggression and depression. Inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive behavior as rated by teachers was more highly related to depression than those behaviors as rated by caregivers. The relationships among inattentive, and hyperactive-impulsive behavior, aggression, and depression were almost the same for both elementary school and junior high school students. This study suggests the importance of assessing inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive behavior from multiple views to examine the relationship between inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive behavior and mental health problems.

研究紀要, 2 29-34, Mar 22, 2023type:Article 行動分析学は行動と環境との相互作用という視点で子どもを観察し、より効果的な指導方法を検討しつづける理論からなっている。知的障害があると読みの習得に困難が生じやすいことが予測されるため、より効果的な方法で学ぶことが求められる。しかし個別性の高さや学びにくさがあるため学校現場では読み指導を「いつ、何を、どのように」行えばよいのかを判断することが難しい。行動分析学における刺激等価性という枠組みや文節単位読み手続きを使った読み指導について先行研究を調べたところ、指導の前提としての言語の重要性、苦手部分の迂回学習や指導時間の短縮ができること、複数の刺激を効果的なタイミングや場所や時間で正確に提示できるICT 活用の有効性などが示されていた。また指導の途中でも子どもの反応に応じて介入方法を変更することや、単に特定の文字が読めるだけでなく読み方の方略を学ぶことで般化が促されることも示されていた。先行研究では学童期の子どもが研究対象となっていることが多かったため、中学部、高等部段階での指導効果について今後検討したい。

教育実践研究, 16 1-12, 2022 Lead authortype:Article 本研究の目的は、公立小学校において学校規模ポジティブ行動支援(SWPBS)第1 層支援を実施し、その効果および社会的妥当性を検討することであった。介入手続きとしては、まず、全教職員が協議してポジティブ行動マトリクスを作成し、その中から挨拶行動と話を聞く行動を目標行動とした。次に、各目標行動に対する行動支援計画を作成し実行した。AB デザインによって介入効果を検証した結果、学年毎の効果の違いはあるものの、全体として各目標行動が増加した。また、社会的妥当性に関する質問紙調査の結果、目標行動・手続き・介入効果について一定の妥当性が示された。今後の課題として、より厳密な研究デザインによる効果検証や実行度データの収集、簡便な行動観察方法の開発等が示された。 The purpose of the present study was to examine the effect and social validity of the Tier 1 intervention within the framework of the school-wide positive behavior support(SWPBS)in a Japanese public elementary school. A public elementary school implemented SWPBS for two years in collaboration with an external consultant. As a Tier 1 intervention, school teachers developed a behavior matrix and selected the target behaviors(greeting behavior for first year, and listening behavior for second year). Then, they developed and implemented each behavior support plan. A single- case AB design was used to evaluate the effect of the Tier 1 intervention on each target behavior. The homeroom teachers observed the students' greeting behavior in their class and support staffs observed listening behavior during class. Results showed that greeting behavior and listening behavior were increased and maintained, although there were differences in the effect by grade level. In addition, homeroom teachers rated the social validity of the Tier 1 intervention(target behaviors, procedures, and intervention effects) as highly acceptable. Implications for future research were discussed, including the verification of the reliability of behavioral data, use of more rigorous research design to evaluate the intervention effect, measuring fidelity of the procedure, and the development of a simple behavioral observation method.
