“…We performed an exploratory factor analysis for the DS-R-J Scale. The analysis resulted in three factors, but the composition of the items was different from the results derived by Iwasa et al (2018). According to the factor structure obtained in our factor analysis, we employed a different set of three subscales from the original structure.…”

“…The POPA was developed, and we identified the items, confirmed the factors and validated it using the Japanese version of the Disgust Scale-Revised (DS-R-J) (Iwasa, Tanaka, & Yamada, 2018) and Animism Scales (Ikeuchi, 2010). The POPA should be relevant to disgust and Haidt's moral foundations.…”

“…The DS-R-J (Iwasa et al, 2018) Scale measures the degree of an individual's reaction to disgust elicitors with 18 items. The disgust elicitors are categorised into three subscales: core disgust (CD; 8 items), animal reminder disgust (AR; 5 items) and contamination disgust (CO; 5 items).…”

We constituted a scale to measure people’s tendency towards Purity Orientation or Pollution Avoidance (POPA), based on the purity/sanctity subscale of the Moral Foundations Theory. For validation, we administered several scales along with POPA. In study 1, we developed the scale and measured the relationship between the degree of one’s POPA, disgust, and animism. We identified four factors as POPA subscales. In study 2, we investigated the test-retest reliability of POPA and conducted questionnaire surveys to measure attitudes toward paranormal phenomena and the degree of concern for each of the moral foundations. The results showed the validity of the scale, based on the moderate correlations with other scales. In Study 3, we executed an Affect Misattribution Procedure experiment, presenting participants with three kinds of visual images (pollution, positive, and negative) for comparison. It was found that those who had higher scores on the POPA scale selectively experienced a negative mood to the stimuli after viewing images of pollution. Compared to the disgust scale, the POPA scale effectively elucidated the negative feelings when pollution images were presented. The POPA scale can be a promising tool to better understand the phenomena involving purity foundation in the Japanese context.

Development and Validation of the Purity Orientation–Pollution Avoidance Scale: A Study With Japanese Sample

The moral foundations theory (MFT) proposes that there are five moral foundations that work as the standard to make moral judgments. Among them, the purity foundation is a complex concept. It is considered to be a distinctive foundation compared with the other ones partly because it involves religious beliefs. The assumption underlying the purity foundation is Christian beliefs, so the MFT was developed and made prevalent mostly in the Western cultures. However, because of that assumption, cultural differences in perceiving the purity foundation should be observed with a non-Western sample, such as Japan. It would be important to discuss and clarify the Japanese unique aspect of their orientation toward the pure and impure. We constituted a scale to measure people's tendency toward purity orientation–pollution avoidance (POPA), based on the purity/sanctity subscale of the MFT. For validation, we administered several scales along with POPA. In Study 1, we developed the scale and measured the relationship between the degree of one's POPA, disgust, and animism. We identified four factors as POPA subscales. In Study 2, we investigated the test–retest reliability of POPA and conducted questionnaire surveys to measure attitudes toward paranormal phenomena and the degree of concern for each of the moral foundations. The results showed the validity of the scale, based on the moderate correlations with other scales. The POPA can be a promising tool to better understand the phenomena involving the purity foundation in a Japanese context.

“…The MSPSS comprises three subfields: perception of support from family, friends, and significant other, respectively; higher scores indicate greater perceived social support. The MSPSS has been translated into Japanese [22], and consequent Cronbach's alpha coefficients were 0.94, 0.90, 0.88, and 0.92 for the support from family, friends, and significant other subscales, and the scale in total, respectively.…”

Background: Previous studies that have examined the impact of nausea and vomiting (NV) on health-related quality of life (HR-QOL) among early pregnant women have collected data at a single time point, with the timing varying among studies, and even, in one study, among subjects. No previous study has examined the independent association NV and social support have with HR-QOL. We conducted a longitudinal study from August 2018 to February 2019 to investigate the independent association NV and social support have with HR-QOL among early pregnant women using repeated-measurement data. Subjects were 153 pregnant women who were 20 years of age or older and at less than 20 weeks of gestation at their first prenatal visit. They were recruited from a perinatal outpatient unit of a general hospital. Methods: Along with providing sociodemographic data, subjects were asked to complete three self-administered questionnaires: the Index of Nausea, Vomiting, and Retching (INVR); the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS); and the 12-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12). Further, at every subsequent visit up to 20 weeks of gestation, they were asked to complete both the SF-12 and the INVR (giving a maximum of three survey completions). Results: After controlling for internal correlations and confounding factors using a mixed model for longitudinal data, the INVR score was found to be significantly negatively associated with the physical component summary scale score of the SF-12; however, the MSPSS score showed no association with the physical component summary scale score. On the other hand, both the INVR score and the MSPSS score were negatively and positively, respectively, significantly associated with the mental component summary scale score of the SF-12, independently of each other. Conclusions: The severity of NV significantly impacts physical quality of life during early pregnancy, but social support has no such impact. However, NV and social support independently and significantly affect mental quality of life, independently of each other. Health professionals should recognize the significant impact of NV on HR-QOL. Additionally, they should be aware that social support contributes to the improvement of mental quality of life, regardless of the degree of NV.
