“…As the F-value of ANOVA was significant, the data were analysed using Scheffe's post-hoc test. To explore the direct impact factors on decision-making between PEKT and PDKT, a binomial logistic regression analysis with robust standard errors was adopted using the free statistical software HAD version 17 (Shimizu, H., Kansei Gakuin University, Nishinomiya, Hyogo) (https://osf.io/32cyp/files/, accessed on 1 March 2021) [37,38]. To explore the secondary impact factors on the detected direct impact factors for decision-making, a stepwise multiple regression analysis with robust standard errors (HAD17) and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) (BellCurve for Excel) were adopted.…”

Pre-emptive kidney transplantation (PEKT) is considered one of the most effective types of kidney replacement therapies to improve the quality of life (QOL) and physical prognosis of patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). In Japan, living-donor kidney transplantation is a common therapeutic option for patients undergoing dialyses (PDKT). Moreover, during shared decision-making in kidney replacement therapy, the medical staff of the multidisciplinary kidney team often provide educational consultation programmes according to the QOL and sociopsychological status of the ESRD patient. In Japan, the majority of kidney donations are provided by living family members. However, neither the psychosocial status of donors associated with the decision-making of kidney donations nor the interactions of the psychosocial status between donors and recipients have been clarified in the literature. In response to this gap, the present study determined the QOL, mood and anxiety status of donors and recipients at kidney transplantation decision-making between PEKT and PDKT. Deterioration of the recipient’s QOL associated with “role physical” shifted the decision-making to PEKT, whereas deterioration of QOL associated with “role emotional” and “social functioning” of the recipients shifted the decision-making to PDKT. Furthermore, increased tension/anxiety and depressive mood contributed to choosing PDKT, but increased confusion was dominantly observed in PEKT recipients. These direct impact factors for decision-making were secondarily regulated by the trait anxiety of the recipients. Unlike the recipients, the donors’ QOL associated with vitality contributed to choosing PDKT, whereas the physical and mental health of the donors shifted the decision-making to PEKT. Interestingly, we also detected the typical features of PEKT donors, who showed higher tolerability against the trait anxiety of reactive tension/anxiety than PDKT donors. These results suggest that choosing between either PEKT or PDKT is likely achieved through the proactive support of family members as candidate donors, rather than the recipients. Furthermore, PDKT is possibly facilitated by an enrichment of the life–work–family balance of the donors. Therefore, multidisciplinary kidney teams should be aware of the familial psychodynamics between patients with ESRD and their family members during the shared decision-making process by continuing the educational consultation programmes for the kidney-replacement-therapy decision-making process.

“…EFECBSC, which was established as a fund rather than a grant, was not exhausted by the end of the year but was allocated to be executed within the EFECBSC period [ 7 , 8 , 11 ]. The least squares method was used to analyse time-dependent trends in the changes in suicide EBSMR in each prefecture (EBSMR trends) using the free statistical software HAD version 17 (Shimuzu, H., Kwansei Gakuin University, Nishinomiya, Hyogo) ( , accessed on 1 March 2021) [ 26 , 27 ]. To analyse the relationship between EBSMR trends caused by six major motives, CUR and financial support for regional prevention programmes (funding for the EFECBSC sub-divisions), SPSS for Windows version 27 (IBM, Armonk, NY, USA) was used for the forward multiple regression analyses, in order to analyse the effects of CUR trends and funding for the 10 EFECBSC sub-divisions on EBSMR trends.…”

To improve and plan regional suicide prevention programmes that utilise more cost-effective governmental financial support compared with previous programmes, the present study determined the effects of the amount of financial support provided for regional suicide prevention programmes, such as the Emergency Fund to Enhance Community-Based Suicide Countermeasures (EFECBSC), on the trends of suicide mortalities caused by six major suicide motives between 2009 and 2018, using forward multiple regression analysis. The ranking order of motives for male suicide was health, economy, family, employment, romance and school (in that order), whereas the ranking order for females was health, family, economy, romance, employment and school. Male suicide mortality caused by economy-related motives was significantly/inversely related to prefectural intervention programmes, whereas mortality caused by health-related motives was also significantly/inversely related to prefectural intervention programmes, but significantly/positively related to prefectural personal consultation support programmes. Contrary to males, female suicide mortality caused by health-related motives was significantly/inversely related to the municipal development programmes of leaders/listeners, whereas mortality caused by family- and school-related motives was significantly/positively related to prefectural and municipal telephone consultation support programmes, respectively. Contrary to our expectations, school-aged female suicide mortality caused by school-related motives was significantly/positively related to prefectural personal consultation support, enlightenment and municipal telephone consultation support programmes. These results indicate that Japanese regional suicide prevention programmes probably affect the suppression of male suicide mortality. However, these programmes are possibly ineffective, or at least partially, have an adverse effect, in regard to the suicide mortalities of female and school-aged populations. Therefore, we should work to improve regional suicide prevention programmes, making them more cost-effective and targeted towards female and school-aged populations in the future.

“…First, prior studies note the role of individual differences. Using the Behavior Identification Form (BIF; Vallacher & Wegner, 1989), researchers find that different people have different construal levels, so they identify the same actions in different ways (Luguri et al, 2012;Terada, 2017). Moreover, evidence from neurology indicates a relationship between different regions of the brain and different levels of construal; that is, abstract construal is associated with the medial prefrontal cortex (Stillman et al, 2017).…”

The impact of reduced visibility caused by air pollution on construal level

Although ample research has recognized air pollution as a severe threat to human health and emotion, little research has been conducted on its impact on consumers' information-processing style. This study explores the effect of reduced visibility caused by air pollution on the construal level adopted by consumers. Specifically, we document how low visibility caused by air pollution makes people more inclined to adopt an abstract mindset, whereas high visibility on a clean day makes people more inclined to adopt a concrete mindset. Across a set of three field studies and one laboratory experiment, we employ alternate measures of construal level: behavioral identification index (Studies 1 and 4) and categorization task (Study 2). Our research provides empirical evidence of the proposed effect and rules out alternative explanations. Additionally, as a downstream consequence, reduced visibility due to air pollution causes individuals to favor desirability over feasibility in product trade-offs (Study 3). Our findings shed new light on construal level theory from an ecological perspective and provide meaningful marketing suggestions.
