研究内容

リヴァーズ研究室へようこそ。私は、応用言語学、コミュニケーション、教育・社会心理学、社会学を専門とする学際的な研究者でございます。研究においては、重回帰分析、パス分析、構造方程式モデリングなどのデータ分析手法を活用し、社会的態度、プロセス、相互作用、結果を明らかにしております。学生は、社会科学および教育研究の目的のために、統計分析とモデリング技術の理論的および実践的な理解を深めることを奨励されています。学生からのお問い合わせはいつでも歓迎します。

実績

人間の感情には経験的要素、行動的要素、生理的要素があります。人文科学分野の研究手法では、自己報告やインタビューによる評価を通じた経験的な要素が強調される傾向にあります。しかし、目立たないウェアラブル技術の進歩により一瞬一瞬の生理学的データの取得が、これまで以上に多くの人に利用されるようになりました。Empatica E4リストバンドで収集したデータを使用して、OS XとWindowsの両方で利用可能な Situation Specific Arousal Analyzer（SSAA）アプリケーションは、外国語教育の文脈において状態特異的な不安に焦点を当てた自律神経系の覚醒の生理学的測定と追跡に関する非臨床研究と分析をサポートするために設計されています。
Situation Specific Arousal Analyzer (SSAA) のデータの定量化とパッケージ化は外国語教育における状態不安の研究に適用でき、アクセス可能な研究方法の革新を意味します。SSAAのデータはモチベーション、達成感、パーソナリティ、コミュニケーションへの意欲など、共通の関心事である他の感情変数との相関関係や関連性を分析することができます。非臨床研究者は医療グレードの生理学的データを方法論のレパートリーに組み込むことができ、外国語教育における状態不安の研究を技術的な機会に合わせることができます。
