Aims: This paper examines the relationship between observational behavior and the observers' result assumptions, using a contained diagram that includes significant non-verbal information, such as gestures. The ability of care workers to assess a patient's mental status on the basis of non-verbal information would be considered an important skill necessary to understanding patient condition. Methods: One hundred and eleven subjects were asked to take a test exploring two types of psychological status, and their eye movements were monitored during testing. Path analysis was used to examine the relationships among eye movements, individual personalities, and test results. Results: In stimulus 1, the neuroticism of the personality was determined. In stimulus 2, openness was determined in the range of eye movement. There is a relationship between the total length of eye fixation time and the answer time at the eye fixation point. Although there was no significant influence found in stimulus 1, the openness still tended to influence the eye fixation point. Conclusions: The eye fixation point increased among those people with high openness scores. It was theorized that they attempted to obtain information from the stimulus being provided.

本研究の目的は,政治機構が我が国と似ているタイと比較することによって,我が国の精神病や精神障害者に対しての態度を明らかにすることとした。看護学の学習や実習を行うという点で共通する看護学生を対象者とした。山梨265名とバンコックの看護学生317名、計582名(66.5%)分の調査用紙が回収され、精神障害者に対する態度を分析検討した。その結果看護学生の精神障害者に対する態度のうち,感情・行動に対する態度は,山梨の学生の方が肯定的な態度を示す回答が多いことが認められ,認知に対する態度はバンコックの学生の方が肯定的態度を示す回答が多いことが認められた。山梨の学生は,「手助けしたい」という実際の行動に対しては消極的であり,これは日本人の特性ではないかと考えられた。これに対してバンコックの学生は,感情・行動面の態度は否定的態度を示す回答が多いが,「手助けをしたい」という態度が多く認められた。これらのことから山梨の学生は精神障害者との接触体験の有無に影響を受けているが,バンコックの学生は接触体験ではなく,宗教観等が影響を及ぼしているのではないかと考えられた。
