• Historical analysis using topic modelling: insights from Khevenhüller’s diary 1742–76

  Taisei Yamashita, Atsuhiko Uchida

  Abstract Research on the political dynamics of the Viennese court in the Habsburg Monarchy has emphasized the significance of trends among the court nobility, who influenced imperial decisions. Therefore, we explore the diary of Johann Joseph Khevenhüller-Metsch, a confidant of Maria Theresia. While his diary, written intermittently from 1742 to 1776, comprises a valuable resource, the sheer volume of information spanning 35 years and approximately 645,000 words has hindered a comprehensive examination. Employing a combination of quantitative topic modelling and historical close reading, we analysed Khevenhüller’s diary to identify multiple themes and their evolution, elucidating historically significant topics that have been ignored in existing research. This study contributes to the ongoing debate surrounding the introduction of quantitative methods in historical research. Through the analysis of Khevenhüller’s diary, we uncovered topics that constituted the core of discourse among the Habsburg nobility during the 18th century.

• Couple disagreement: Inevitable and healthy? Belgian and Japanese conceptions

  Anna Schouten, Michael Boiger, Atsuhiko Uchida, Nathalie Ribbers, Yukiko Uchida, Batja Mesquita

  Abstract “Couples who argue together, stay together” is a popular English saying suggesting the necessity of disagreement for a healthy and stable romantic relationship. The present study explores whether Belgian and Japanese participants similarly view couple disagreement as a necessity, and whether conceptions of disagreement have implications for partners' ideas of how to deal with disagreement. We conducted four focus groups in each culture and analyzed them using thematic analysis. The findings suggested that Belgian participants thought that partners' needs unavoidably clash. They thus saw disagreement as inevitable. In contrast, Japanese participants thought of disagreement as avoidable. To avoid disagreement, they reported that they adjusted to and accepted the differences of their partner. Consistent with these respective conceptions of disagreement, Belgian participants highlighted the importance of addressing disagreement through open communication, while Japanese participants reported to frequently engage in indirect forms of communication such as mindreading. The differences in Belgian and Japanese conceptions of disagreement reflect different cultural notions of a healthy relationship, with Belgian partners valuing independence and Japanese emphasizing interdependence in the relationship. We discuss the implications of existing research on couple disagreement, which often starts from assumptions closer to the English saying and the Belgian conceptions of disagreement.

• Extracting multiple layers of social networks through a 7-month survey using a wearable device: a case study from a farming community in Japan

  Masashi Komori, Kosuke Takemura, Yukihisa Minoura, Atsuhiko Uchida, Rino Iida, Aya Seike, Yukiko Uchida

  Abstract As individuals are susceptible to social influences from those to whom they are connected, structures of social networks have been an important research subject in social sciences. However, quantifying these structures in real life has been comparatively more difficult. One reason is data collection methods—how to assess elusive social contacts (e.g., unintended brief contacts in a coffee room); however, recent studies have overcome this difficulty using wearable devices. Another reason relates to the multi-layered nature of social relations—individuals are often embedded in multiple networks that are overlapping and complicatedly interwoven. A novel method to disentangle such complexity is needed. Here, we propose a new method to detect multiple latent subnetworks behind interpersonal contacts. We collected data of proximities among residents in a Japanese farming community for 7 months using wearable devices which detect other devices nearby via Bluetooth communication. We performed non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) on the proximity log sequences and extracted five latent subnetworks. One of the subnetworks represented social relations regarding farming activities, and another subnetwork captured the patterns of social contacts taking place in a community hall, which played the role of a “hub” of diverse residents within the community. We also found that the eigenvector centrality score in the farming-related network was positively associated with self-reported pro-community attitude, while the centrality score regarding the community hall was associated with increased self-reported health.

• Relatively Happy: The Role of the Positive-to-Negative Affect Ratio in Japanese and Belgian Couples

  Alexander Kirchner-Häusler, Michael Boiger, Yukiko Uchida, Yoko Higuchi, Atsuhiko Uchida, Batja Mesquita

  Satisfied couples in European-American cultural contexts experience higher ratios of positive to negative affect during interactions than their less satisfied counterparts. The current research tests the possibility that this finding is culture-bound. It compares proportions of positive to negative affect during couple interactions in two different cultural contexts: Belgium and Japan. Whereas Belgian relationship goals (e.g., mutual affirmation and self-esteem) call for the experience of positive affect, Japanese relationship goals (e.g., harmony and self-adjustment) call for the avoidance of negative affect. We propose that these differences result in different affect ratios in close relationships. To test this idea, we tracked positive and negative feelings during couple interactions. Fifty-eight Belgian and 80 Japanese romantic couples took part in a lab interaction study, in which they discussed a topic of disagreement. Using a video-mediated recall, participants rated their positive and negative feelings during the interaction; relationship satisfaction was assessed before the interaction. As expected, Belgian couples’ positive-to-negative affect ratios were more positive than those of Japanese couples. Furthermore, in both cultures relationship satisfaction was positively associated with more positive affect ratios, but this effect was significantly stronger for Belgian than Japanese couples. Finally, mediation analyses showed that higher affect ratios were achieved in culturally different and meaningful ways: satisfied Belgian couples showed higher ratios primarily through higher levels of positive feelings, whereas satisfied Japanese couples showed higher ratios primarily through lower levels of negative feelings.

  社会関係資本は、1990年代から個人・集団・地域に対する効用が着目され、国際的にはOECDや世界銀行、国内では内閣府などが意識調査で取り扱っており、公共政策における不可視の社会的な基盤としての重要性が指摘されている。一方、その構築の仕方に関する包括的な議論は同様には蓄積されておらず、特に人々の周囲の環境との関係性については政策的にも意義のある論点ながら検討が途上といえる。そこで本研究では、行政のオープンデータや社会調査、機械学習による大量の画像データの定量化、そして行政の実務者との連携を組み合わせ、都市における緑化と社会関係資本との相互作用を検討し、政策提言に耐える学術的知見の獲得を目指す。
