“…Attachment anxiety was assessed using 10 items from the Attachment Anxiety Subscale of the Experiences in Close Relationships Questionnaire Revised (ECR‐R; Fraley et al, 2000). The validity of the Japanese version of the ECR has been supported (e.g., Kanemasa, 2006; Kanemasa et al, 2021). Participants were instructed to rate the degree to which each item described their feelings in close relationships (e.g., “I worry that romantic partners won't care about me as much as I care about them” and “I often worry that my partner doesn't really love me”).…”

“…Psychological IPV perpetration in current romantic relationships was assessed using the IPV Perpetration subscale of the Psychological IPV Scale (Soma et al, 2004). This scale has been validated in Japanese contexts (Kanemasa et al, 2021(Kanemasa et al, , 2023Soma et al, 2004). The frequency of psychological IPV perpetration in current romantic relationships was assessed using six items.…”

This study examined whether two personality traits, attachment anxiety, and the Dark Triad, longitudinally promote stalking behaviors after romantic breakups through psychological maltreatment of partners during relationships and maladjusted reactions to breakups. We conducted a prospective longitudinal study across four waves of assessment for 1 year of individuals in romantic relationships in Japan. They completed measures of attachment anxiety, the Dark Triad, need for control, and psychological intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetration at Wave 1, and measures of maladjusted reactions to breakups (i.e., anger and rumination) and stalking behaviors at a wave after breakups. The final sample consisted of 356 participants who were involved in romantic relationships at Wave 1 and left by their partners during the survey period. Correlational analysis showed that the Dark Triad at Wave 1 was significantly positively associated with future stalking behaviors, but attachment anxiety was not. Structural equation modeling showed that attachment anxiety and the Dark Triad increased future stalking behaviors after breakups through psychological IPV perpetration during relationships. Additionally, attachment anxiety increased future stalking behaviors through higher levels of postbreakup anger and rumination. Conversely, we did not find any indirect effects of the Dark Triad on stalking behaviors through these reactions toward breakups. Overall, these results suggest that it is necessary to consider personality traits that could damage intimate relationships and to focus on the quality of romantic relationships to prevent stalking after romantic breakups. These results also indicate that emotion regulation may be useful in preventing stalking caused by attachment anxiety.

Objective and background This study examined the longitudinal adverse influences of attachment anxiety and the dark triad on psychological intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetration and victimization through daily negative emotions. Method We conducted a 1‐year paired longitudinal study that followed married couples across three waves of assessment. The participants were 471 married couples in Japan. They completed measures of the dark triad and attachment anxiety (Wave 1), daily negative emotions (Wave 2: 1 month after Wave 1), and psychological IPV victimization (Wave 3: 1 year after Wave 1). Results The actor–partner interdependence model showed that attachment anxiety and the dark triad were positively associated with psychological IPV perpetration 1 year later through different processes. Whereas attachment anxiety was related to psychological IPV perpetration through daily negative emotions for both men and women, the dark triad was directly related to psychological IPV perpetration across sex groups. In addition, attachment anxiety was positively related to psychological IPV victimization through daily negative emotions for men and women, but the dark triad was not. Conclusion and implication Attachment anxiety and the dark triad were associated differently with psychological IPV perpetration 1 year later, whereas these processes are equivalent for men and women. Our results imply that for individuals with high attachment anxiety, interventions to regulate daily negative emotions such as depression and distress may buffer against both IPV victimization and perpetration.

This paper reviews studies on adolescence into old age in the developmental division of the 64th Annual General Meeting of the Japanese Association of Educational Psychology held online from August 10 to September 10, 2022, and journal articles published in five domestic academic journals. As a result, it was shown that many of the studies targeting adolescents were related to specific problems in school and campus life, and many studies targeting adulthood were related to problems faced in social positions.Additionally, future contributions of developmental research to practical support concerning the complementary use of qualitative and quantitative research are discussed.
