ACP/ACERP 2014 Programme Cover image: “Nyudo Saki no Dajodaijin” The image used for the cover of the ACP/ACERP 2014 Conference Programme is from a woodblock print by Hokusai Katsushika (17601849). This print is number ninety-six of a series of one hundred inspired by the “Hyakunin-Isshu” - an anthology of one hundred classical Japanese poems by 100 different poets. This print is inspired by the a poem, attributed to Nyudo Saki no Dajodaijin (1171-1244), Chancellor of the Realm during the Heian Period.
入道前太政大臣 Nyudo Saki no Dajodaijin 花さそふ Hana sasou あらしの庭の Arashi no niwa no 雪ならで Yuki nara de ふりゆくものは Furi yuku mono wa わが身なりけり Waga mi nari keri Not the snow of flowers, That the hurrying wild wind whirls Round the garden court: What withers and falls away In this place is I myself.

letter of welcome
Dear Delegates, Welcome to the Fourth Annual Asian Conference on Psychology and the Behavioral Sciences, which is again to be held this year alongside the Fourth Asian Conference on Ethics, Religion and Philosophy, and welcome to the great city of Osaka. These joint conferences encourage us to reflect upon how and why we think, as well as reason, believe, and behave, under the theme of ‘Individual, Community, Society: Conflict, Resolution and Synergy’. The conference theme is an important one to all delegates, whether engaged in the study of science, philosophy or religion, and is no doubt part the reason that this conference has attracted nearly three hundred delegates from across the globe. Over these few days together we will consider questions related to conflict and resolution in a variety of contexts from the perspectives of scholars, policy makers, educators, therapists, medical doctors, patients, priests and charity workers. Using the lenses of science, religion and philosophy we will search for common ground and research synergies. The programme for this conference promises to be an exciting one, with thematic topics that address the central aim of the conference in different but complementary ways, including through papers that draw on empirical research, that develop theoretical and conceptual insights, that engage with pedagogy, and the experiential. The conference will be enhanced through its wide variety of presenters, who will draw on their diverse experiences and knowledges and on their academic, personal and geographical contexts, in a programme that promises stimulating and challenging discussion. I have no doubt that we will all be able to use the time spent at this conference for intellectual discovery and for the development of collaborative links and connections between the researchers, academics, scholars and practitioners who are attending. We have a lot to learn from each other in this international academic forum. I look forward to meeting you all.

acp/acerp 2014 Dear Professors, Colleagues and Friends,
On behalf of The International Academic Forum, I would like to thank you all for participating in this conference, and for all your contributions. I trust you will enjoy this social and scientific gathering in Osaka during the cherry blossom season, and I hope you experience new international perspectives both within the conference, and in the culturally rich Kansai area. Our conference theme this year is “Individual, Community and Society: Conflict, Resolution and Synergy�, an open theme designed to encourage a number of interpretations, yet our goal is one: to work together towards a unified world by looking for idealistic solutions to disagreements and conflicts between people, nations and ethnic groups. We wish to find solutions and alternatives to improving the lives of each other and ourselves. Deep within each of us is the desire to live without conflict, in peace and tranquility. We all want to have a unified family and enjoy time together with friends and colleagues for we are social creatures. However, we have to accept the reality that some people see life experiences in different ways, and perceive realities from different perspectives, and academic disciplines. Here, in Osaka over the next few days, we will soon be confronted with some of these differences, as we look for solutions and answers together. So, please take this opportunity to share your ideas openly with, and be informed by, people from different disciplines, nations and cultures. Wishing you a great conference!

Minoru Karasawa Graduate School of Environmental Studies, Nagoya University, Japan
Keynote Speech: Blameworthy Character Invites Harsher Punishment: A Social Psychological Approach to Punitive Motives against Individuals and Groups
acp 2014 keynote speaker
Minoru Karasawa received his Master’s degree from Kyoto University and Ph.D. from the University of California, Los Angeles, both majoring in psychology. After teaching at Aichi Gakuin University and Kobe University, he has been at Nagoya University since 2006. Dr. Karasawa’s primary research area has been social cognition, covering various issues such as social categorization, intergroup cognition and emotions, and the role of culture and language in social inferences. He is also heading a research project on the psychological mechanism underlying judgments of responsibility and punitive motives in legal contexts. He has been an Associate Editor of the Asian Journal of Social Psychology and the Editor of the Japanese Journal of Social Psychology. Academic associations that he has served as a board member include the Japanese Society of Social Psychology, the Japanese Group Dynamics Association, and the Japanese Society for Law and Psychology. He has been a member of the Science Council of Japan since 2006.
Ordinary people typically think that it is fair to punish an individual, and a group, who has certain undesirable characters such as immoral proclivity. In this presentation, I will discuss why and how this intuitive judgment of fairness against unwanted character is formed. First, I will point out that there are at least two different kinds of views that may govern punitive motives; that is, utilitarian judgments and the sense of retributive justice. I will then present findings from social psychological studies that demonstrate different roles of these two views that lead to harsher punishment of immoral or inhuman criminal defendants. Next, I will turn to pointing out the lay tendency to regard social groups and organizations (e.g., corporates) as entitative social agents, just like individual actors. This may lead to blaming the group as an independent and responsible entity in case of its wrongdoing, and thereby resulting in actual punitive behavior such as boycotting. Theoretical models as well as empirical evidence will be presented to elucidate psychological processes underlying the animating perception of group agents. Possibilities of interplay between psychological studies of person/group perception and those of morality judgments will be discussed.

Keynote Speech: Government Officials’ Visits to the Yasukuni Shrine: Constitutional and Ethical Struggles For those familiar with Japan, the simple mention of the Yasukuni Shrine raises the specter of controversy. The Shrine is an edifice of the Meiji Era that sprung from humble beginnings into the site of international controversy. The shrine was originally created in 1879 to commemorate government soldiers killed in the Boshin War, but it has grown into a symbol of Japanese nationalism, militarism, and historical revisionism, which is controversial to many people within the pacifist culture in Japan, and to people in China, Korea and Taiwan.
Keynote Speech: Friday, March 28, 2014 10:45-11:30 OICC - 12F
xviii
Among those enshrined there today are those involved in military expansionism and war crimes. This includes fourteen Class-A war criminals who were secretly enshrined without public knowledge. There are, of course, many enshrined there who did not commit war crimes, but the cultural meaning of the shrine is itself controversial within Japan, which has become a culture deeply rooted in pacifism. Moreover, to many Koreans, Chinese, Taiwanese and others, visits to the shrine by high-ranking government officials is an offense. Visits to the shrine by government officials create an ethical and cultural struggle for many Japanese, who are surprised to learn of international reaction to the visits, and yet feel deeply committed to avoiding conflict. Japan is a constitutional democracy, however, and whether or not visits to the Yasukuni Shrine by the government officials are offensive and ill advised, the question remains whether those visits are constitutional. Most courts to consider the question have held the visits are constitutional, but at least one court, the Osaka High Court, held the visits are unconstitutional. This talk explains why the Osaka High Court correctly interpreted the Japanese Constitution. Moreover, the talk addresses why this approach is consistent with the ethical commitments of many in Japan, who accept pacifism as part of the cultural dasein.

Jiro Takai
acp/acerp 2014 conference co-chair & featured presenter
Graduate School of Education and Human Development, Nagoya University, Japan
Featured Speech: Friday, March 28, 2014 17:00-17:30 OICC - 12F
xx
Jiro Takai is professor of social psychology at Nagoya University, and received his PhD from the University of California, Santa Barbara. He has served in the executive committees of the Japan Society for Social Psychology, the Japan Group Dynamics Society, the Japan Intercultural Education Society, the Communication Association of Japan, and the Japan-US Communication Association (affiliate of National Communication Association). Although he was born in Japan, he spent 15 years as a youth growing up in Canada, and has also spent two years living in the United States. Because of such a background, he has an interest in cross-cultural matters, particularly in the context of interpersonal communication as well as research interests in interpersonal competence, self-presentation and Multi-faceted self concept. Featured Speech: Rethinking interpersonal conflict strategies: Is avoiding really that bad? Conflict abounds in our everyday relationships, and their skillful management is the key to interpersonal harmony. In dealing with conflict, the received view is that we should directly confront the other party with the issues, followed by constructive, mutual communication, negotiating a solution which leads to both parties being able to fully fulfil our respective goals. Rahim (2002) calls this the integrating conflict style. At the other end of effectiveness scale is the avoiding conflict style. Avoiding leaves the issue outstanding, with the other party not aware of doing you any injustice, and your dissatisfaction with him/her increasing until you snap. Avoiding, according to Rahim (2002), lacks self-concern, as well as other-concern, leaving nothing resolved, and surely ending up in a lose-lose situation. But is avoiding really such a bad strategy? My graduate students and I have been studying conflict styles of Japanese, and our opinion is that avoiding is quite effective. This talk will elaborate on why, when and how avoiding can actually be a wise choice in managing interpersonal conflict.
Monty P. Satiadarma
Tarumanagara University, Indonesia
Featured Speech: Being Responsible: A Personal Challenge in Resolving Conflicts Conflict is an integral part in human life. Kurt Lewin in his field theory described various conflict conditions within a person in a process of decision making. Lawrence Kohlberg in his moral theory explained how a person deals with conflicting situations prior to execute an action. Numbers of social theorists reported how people must deal with their social roles, and the Freudian concept has discussed extensively various forms of conflicts between the id and superego, between drives and ethical concerns. Remaining in a conflicting situation creates tension. Tension may increase preparedness and readiness in numbers of life challenges, but tension that remains in a lengthy condition can become preconditions for pathology. While defense mechanisms may resolve challenging problems temporarily, they are extending the possibility of inner conflicts. Honesty, acceptance and genuineness are important aspects for people to resolve conflicts. Fear on the other hand inhibits conflict resolution, and preventing potential synergy in human interactions. Fear to choose allowing someone to remain in conflicting situation thus maintaining tension. Fear to accept creates denial to self which gradually take a person into allienation. Conflict resolution needs courageous responsible act. Being responsible is a great challenge for many people, yet it is a strong remedy to resolve conflicts.

Bickford & Covington Psychotherapy Services
For Dr. Kurt R. Bickford the pursuit of higher education is really the pursuit of knowledge leading to competence in training others to maximize their own personal growth and development. While education at the earlier levels (high school through bachelor’s level) was often boring and uninteresting, advanced training became increasingly intriguing and rewarding. Dr. Bickford has earned two Master’s degrees and a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology, with specialization training in a number of areas including neuropsychology, neurotherapy, hypnosis, family systems and couples work. In addition to professional standing as a licensed Clinical Psychologist, he is also a licensed Marriage, Family and Child Therapist, a credentialed Educational Psychologist, and credentialed teacher. He is also an Independent Medical Examiner for the State of California. Dr. Bickford has practiced in the profession of psychology at a variety of levels since 1974, including positions at California State Hospital (Pacific State),Veterans Administration Hospital (J. Pettis VA Hospital), San Bernardino County Department of Behavioral Health, community clinics, teaching, counseling and educational psychologist positions in four California school districts, and a private practice in Redlands, California for the past twenty-five years.This practice has evolved to include executive and Consciousness coaching, working with private industry, educational institutions and healthcare systems. Dr. Bickford has also served as an expert witness for the Superior Court system in California.

Dr. Tracy J. Covington traveled an eclectic path, pursuing many interests before finding her passion in the field of psychology. Upon completion of a Master’s Degree followed by a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology, she began her career as an Assistant Professor and Staff Psychologist at Loma Linda University Medical Center (LLUMC), Department of Anesthesia, in Southern California. During her tenure at LLUMC, she enjoyed opportunities integrating psychological concepts with a diversity of chronic pain conditions and life threatening illnesses. This included the creation of Transitions, a clinical support group specific to young adults challenged by severe health conditions such as cancer. With her life and business partner, Dr. Kurt Bickford, she developed a rehabilitation center for the treatment of chronic pain and stress conditions where she developed and utilized an inter-disciplinary approach, now a standard in the industry. Opportunities to share this treatment model and research were offered at both national and international levels. Her private practice of 23 years has been a composite of services including psychotherapy, applied physiology, executive and organizational coaching, collaboration on professional monthly seminars, a monthly radio show and a variety of publications emphasizing consciousness, psychology, temperament and the possibilities of the human endeavor. Dr. Covington is a licensed Clinical Psychologist who is Board Certified in Biofeedback and a Diplomate in Pain Management. Featured Speech - Conflict, Resolution & Synergy: All Things Begin with the self/Self WE choose our level of consciousness by our intentions and subsequent actions. To evolve through conflict and manifest resolution and even synergy, we need to first begin with SELF. During this talk you will come to understand how what WE bring to the space of conflict, resolution or synergy directly affects the process and outcome. Consciousness and science research, thought leaders and individuals such as yourselves who seek greater understanding of this process have shifted our world into a new paradigm and even zeitgeist; a world that can value leaning-in to this moment and immersing Self into the practice of consciousness. When we understand that ~ ALL Things Begin with the self/Self ~ we are resilient to conflict, open to resolution and incite synergy.

IAFOR The International Academic Forum Academic Vision and Mission “To Open Minds, To Educate Intelligence, To Inform Decisions” The vision of IAFOR grew out of the perceived need to fill a vacuum in the communication and exchange activities of the academic world. Its mission arose out of examining that space and investigating why it existed. The vacuum existed because of the lack of opportunity for serious and thoughtful exchange between academics, members of the global business community, and practitioners in the fields of human endeavor that linked these groups together. In the field of education, for example, we have academic theorists, educational managers (political decision-makers and organizational directors) and classroom teachers with their support staff in IT, library work, exchange programs, and specialist fields. But how often do they have the opportunity to interact? Moving beyond one particular field, larger questions arise. What function should universities prioritize in the 21st century? What do businesses see as their contribution to social and global well being? How can people on the ground, trying to implement improvements that will transform human life, best be supported? And perhaps above all, what are the agendas that will drive mechanisms to enable these groups to interact effectively. One piece of distilled thought that came from early exchanges at one of our conferences was the recognition that some of the rhetoric of concern about the problems of developing nations was perhaps over-focused on the term “poverty” because it can be defined only in a relative way. “Hunger” was put forward as being more immediate and itself a contributory factor to poverty, rather than the other way round. One key to the hunger issue could be the provision of safe drinking water, or water for irrigation in some contexts, while flood management might be necessary elsewhere. These, in and by themselves become valuable only insofar as they help to relieve hunger in specific contexts. IAFOR is affording opportunities that do not exist elsewhere. The base is Osaka, Japan’s great commercial and manufacturing hub, one symbol of the emerging Pacific economy that is already eclipsing the long dominant Atlantic zone. Our conferences present those taking part with three unique dimensions of experience. First of all, it encourages interdisciplinary activity to be expanded. Depending on the field, this can face varying degrees of difficulty, ranging from discouragement to downright prohibition. Those overly dependent on fixed academic structures often see lateral thinking as a threat. None of these negatives apply in IAFOR. Its purpose is to generate new approaches that cross any disciplinary lines. The principle employed is to let the imagination permit intuitive responses to questions. There are no panels of critics. There are simply people who want to listen and reflect. The model of academic work as potholing is replaced by the metaphor of mountaineering. While respecting the need for solid and well-founded academic work, we feel the need to go beyond it from time to time to discover fresh approaches to old questions. Secondly, it facilitates the heightening of intercultural awareness. Again, we encourage innovation through cross-cultural perception. Cultural roots influence people in their attitudes more than most would realize or admit. The need to see and internalize insights gained from other viewpoints is met by a process of steady illumination. Thirdly, it promotes the broadening of international exchange. We may live in a globalized world, but in reality parochialism still holds sway. The collapse of the U.S.S.R and the break-up of Yugoslavia led to the re-establishment of numerous former countries. While this may be desirable for the peoples concerned, it merely adds to the world’s cultural confusion. Exchange leads to explanation and that helps the growth of intercultural awareness. IAFOR makes all of these developments possible in one gathering. Our conferences are not a substitute for specialist conferences. We intend our events to be an alternative that functions as a balance or even a corrective to the extreme tendencies that can arise from more narrowly defined research parameters. In short, IAFOR is promoting and facilitating a new multifaceted approach to one of the core issues of our time, namely globalization and its many forms of growth and expansion. Awareness of how it cuts across the worlds of business, and academia, along with its impact on societies and institutions is one of the driving forces that has given the organization its momentum, and is making it a pioneer in this global age.

iafor publications
IAFOR Journals The International Academic Forum’s Journals conform to the highest academic standards of international peer review, and are published in accordance with the IAFOR publishing commitment to make all of our published materials available online. Journals FAQ
IAFOR’s Open Access Publishing Committment IAFOR is committed to providing ALL of its publications in online form for no fee. Researchers and scholars, regardless of institutional affiliation and status, can access our academic journals, monographs, magazine, conference materials and special publications for no charge, wherever there is internet access. IAFOR will never ask authors to contribute towards publication costs, or engage in other such publishing practices which we believe undermine academic independence and integrity.
How are journal editors appointed? Journal Editors are appointed by the International Academic Forum’s leadership, under the guidance of the Chairman of the International Advisory Board. The term of appointment is for one issue, to be renewed by mutual consent. How do we ensure academic integrity? Once appointed, the editor is free to appoint his or her own editorial team and advisory members. All papers published in the journal have been subjected to the rigorous and accepted processes of academic peer review. Neither editors nor members of the editorial team are remunerated for their work. Authors will never be asked to “contribute” towards publication costs. How are papers selected? Journal Editors may accept papers through an open call, and proposed articles may be sent directly to the respective editors. A small number of papers from the associated IAFOR conference proceedings may also be selected by the journal editor(s) for reworking and revising subject to normal processes of review. It is expected that between 5 and 10 percent of papers included in any given conference proceedings will be developed for inclusion in the associated conference journal. How are IAFOR Journals related to IAFOR conferences? IAFOR’s journals reflect the interdisciplinary and international nature of our conferences and are organized thematically. Papers included in the associated conference proceedings may be considered for reworking by the editor(s), and would then be subjected to the same processes of peer review as papers submitted by other means.
IAFOR Keynotes The IAFOR Keynotes series is a collection of keynote addresses, or associated papers given at our conferences. Presented as a part of the open research archive, the Keynotes series provides an example of the range and quality of speakers at IAFOR events. These keynotes are lightly reworked, and contain references, but are otherwise true to the original address. Many can also be seen in video format on our YouTube page. Whether you were present at the conference or not, the keynotes are thoughtful addresses by senior academics, the content of which may help your research.
Special Series & Monographs The International Academic Forum is publishing a number of special monographs in print and online form. One such publication is a selection of haiku from the Annual Vladimir DevidÊ Haiku Award.
