Objectives: In this functional magnetic resonance imaging study, we aimed to investigate the differences in brain activation between individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and typically developing (TD) individuals during perspective taking. We also examined the association between brain activation and empathic and interoceptive abilities. Methods: During scanning, participants from the ASD (n=17) and TD (n=22) groups were shown pain stimuli and asked to rate the level of the observed pain from both self- and other-perspectives. Empathic abilities, including perspective taking, were measured using an empathic questionnaire, and three dimensions of interoception were assessed: interoceptive accuracy, interoceptive sensibility, and interoceptive trait prediction errors. Results: During self-perspective taking, the ASD group exhibited greater activation in the left precuneus than the TD group. During other-perspective taking, relative hyperactivation extended to areas including the right precuneus, right superior frontal gyrus, left caudate nucleus, and left amygdala. Brain activation levels in the right superior frontal gyrus while taking other-perspective were negatively correlated with interoceptive accuracy, and those in the left caudate were negatively correlated with perspective taking ability in the ASD group. Conclusion: Individuals with ASD show atypical brain activation during perspective taking. Notably, their brain regions associated with stress reactions and escape responses are overactivated when taking other-perspective. This overactivity is related to poor interoceptive accuracy, suggesting that individuals with ASD may experience difficulties with the self-other distinction or atypical embodiment when considering another person's perspective.

This study investigated a path model in which men's and women's communication behavior escalating marital conflict (CBEMC) may be influenced directly and indirectly, via negative interpretations of their spouse, by their spouse's problem behavior, the couple's turning toward bids, and dyadic perspective-taking. Self-report data were collected from 498 married men and women who were living in Busan, Korea. Multiple-group analysis revealed that the path model was not equivalent for men and women. Their couple's turning toward bids and dyadic perspective-taking for men, and their spouse's problem behavior and dyadic perspective-taking for women, had direct effects on CBEMC. Further, their spouse's problem behavior and the couple's turning toward bids had indirect effects on CBEMC through negative interpretations in both men and women. The indirect effect of dyadic perspective-taking on CBEMC was significant only for men. Finally, considering total effects, dyadic perspective-taking was the strongest predictor of CBEMC for both genders.

Objectives The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences between adolescents and adults, in the perspective-taking ability, as well as the brain activation patterns during the perspective-taking situation. Methods We recruited healthy adolescents aged 13 years to 15 years (n = 20) and adults aged 19 years to 29 years (n = 20). All the subjects were scanned while performing the perspective-taking task, in which an emotional situation was presented in the form of statements comprising first person, as well as third person perspectives. Differences in brain activation between groups were assessed by contrasting neural activity during the tasks. Results In the between-group analysis, while performing the third-person perspective-taking task, the adolescent group showed greater neural activities in the middle frontal gyrus and precentral gyrus as compared to the adult group. Positive correlation was observed between the activity in the frontal areas (Brodmann area 6/9) and the score of scales related to perspective-taking and social cognition in the adolescent group. Conclusions This study suggests that several frontal brain areas of adolescents needs to be overactivated in order to compensate for low perspective-taking ability when they ought to take another person's point of view.

본 연구는 기혼자를 대상으로 부부간 의사소통에 정서인식 명확성과 조망수용이 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 광주와 전남북지역의 기혼자 206명을 대상으로 의사소통, 정서인식 명확성, 조망수용 관련 설문을 실시하였다. 그 결과, 각 변인들은 상호 밀접한 상관을 보이고 있었으며, 기혼자의 의사소통에는 정서인식 명확성과 조망수용이 유의미한 정적 영향을 미치고 있음이 나타났다. 하지만 정서인식 명확성과 조망수용의 상호작용 효과는 없는 것으로 나타났다. 부부간 의사소통에서 자신의 정서를 명확하게 이해하고 상대의 입장에 서서 타인을 이해하는 능력인 조망수용이 이루어질 때 보다 더 긍정적이고 합리적인 의사소통이 가능하다는 것을 확인 하였다.

본 연구는 대학생의 다문화 접촉경험이 다문화 역량에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고, 조망수용과 편견의 매개효과를 알아보고자 하였다. 다문화 접촉은 양적인 측면과 질적인 측면으로 구분하였고, 접촉의 양과 질 각각이 조망수용과 편견을 통해 대학생의 다문화 역량에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 총 642명의 대학생이 접촉, 일상의 다문화 역량, 조망수용, 편견 등을 포함한 질문지에 응답하였다. 분석 결과, 접촉의 양과 질 모두가 다문화 역량에 유의미하게 관련되는 것으로 나타났으나, 접촉의 질적인 측면이 양적인 측면에 비해 다문화 역량에 미치는 영향력이 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 조망수용과 편견은 접촉의 질과 다문화 역량의 관계를 유의미하게 매개하는 것으로 나타난 반면, 접촉의 양과 다문화 역량의 관계는 매개하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 다른 문화적 배경을 가진 집단과의 교류가 친밀하고 긍정적일 때 조망수용 증진과 편견 감소를 통하여 다문화 역량 함양이 이루어짐을 보여 주는 것이다. 따라서 향후 대학생의 다문화 역량 증진을 위한 프로그램은 교류의 질적인 측면에 집중하여 조망수용 증진과 편견 감소가 이루어질 수 있도록 계획되어야 할 것이다.

The present study applied the research of Endres(2003) to investigate understandings of theory of mind by 3- and 4-year-olds based on false belief, perspective taking, and intention. Participants were 86 3- and 96 4-year-old children in three kindergartens. Individual interviews were conducted for each task. Results showed that 4-year-olds scored higher than 3-year-olds on all three variables. Both 3- and 4-year-olds scored highest on perspective taking and lowest on intention. These results suggest that children's understandings of the theory of mind are still developing between 3 and 4 years of age and that their understanding of intention develops more slowly than false belief and perspective taking.

The purpose of this study is to examine main variables of dysfunctional communication, which worsen marital conflicts in terms of marital interaction and to clarify the relative effects of such variables. The subjects were 295 married males and females, and collected data were analyzed using SPSS WIN 23.0 program. The main findings are as follows : First, the tendencies of related variables showed that the levels of spouses' perspective taking and routine marital responsiveness were higher for both males and females, while the levels of irrational belief for marital relations and dysfunctional communication were low. Second, an analysis of spouses' perspective taking, routine marital responsiveness, irrational belief in marital relations and correlations of dysfunctional communication showed that spouses' perspective taking and routine marital responsiveness for both males and females have negative correlations with dysfunctional communication. The higher spouses' perspective taking and routine marital responsiveness, the lower the level of irrational belief related to marital relations and the lower the level of dysfunctional communication. This study clarifies that spouses' perspective taking, routine marital responsiveness and irrational faith for marital relations influence marital dysfuctional communication and has an implication, in that the findings can be used as basic data for seeking methods to solve problems of couples who experience conflicts derived from dysfunctional communication.

Objectives : This study aimed to investigate the difference of brain activities in viewing a common emotional situation according to perspective-taking. Methods : Using fMRI, brain activities were measured while performing the task viewing a common emotional situation on either self-perspective or third-person perspective in fourteen healthy men. The relatively activated brain areas on each perspective were investigated, then the relationship between the activated brain regions and the scores of self report about some emotion or empathic ability were explored. Results : The relatively activated brain areas on self-perspective were bilateral paracentral lobule(BA 5), right postcentral gyrus(BA 3), right precentral gyrus(BA 4), left superior temporal gyrus(BA 22), left medial frontal gyrus(BA 6), whereas on third-person perspective right inferior frontal gyrus(BA 47), left caudate body and tail, right superior temporal gyrus(BA 38), right medial frontal gyrus(BA 8) were activated. The relative activity of left superior temporal gyrus on self-perspective was positively correlated with the score of Beck Depression Inventory. Conclusion : This study demonstrated that the activated brain region according to perspective-taking were different while viewing a common emotional situation. The depressive feeling would have an influence on the brain activity related to perspective-taking.

The purpose of this research is to investigate the difference across children's grades in the ambiguous idiom comprehension, the relation with the ambiguous idiom comprehension and language, perspective-taking ability, and what the factors which can influence to comprehend the ambiguous idioms is. 70 elementary school students from 1st grade to 6th grade participated in this study. They were classified with 3 groups, A(1st-2nd grade), B(3rd-4th), C(5th-6th) group and tested in the ambiguous idiom comprehension, receptive vocabulary, problem-solving and perspective-taking. Results of this study are followed. First, there was a significant difference in three groups in the ambiguous idiom comprehension task. And there was significant difference between A group and B, C but not between B and C. Second, in relation with the ambiguous idiom and language ability, perspective-taking ability, there was positive relation with the ambiguous idiom comprehension and them. Finally, the factors which can influence to comprehend the ambiguous idioms is the receptive vocabulary ability, cue-assumption and resolution-inference ability in problem-solving. And the 3 factors explain 65.3% of ambiguous idiom comprehension ability.
