This study aimed at developing the Job Stress Scale - Revised version (JSS-R) with reference to stressor, stress reactions, and coping scales. We tested reliability and validity of JSS-R on 9,548 employees of three different companies. The reliability of these scales were examined by αreliability coefficients, that revealed high internal consistencies(α = .71~.90). Confirmatory factor analyses showed good fitness between data and scales. The cross validity of these scales was confirmed by promax rotated factor analyses: The component items belonged in same factors among the three different companies'.

ストレッサー尺度・ストレス反応尺度・コーピング尺度によって構成される職場ストレススケール改訂版(JSS-R)作成の試みについて報告した.3事業所9548名の職員を対象として,JSS-Rの信頼性と妥当性を検討した.このスケールの信頼性については,α係数による内的整合性の検討を行った.その結果,十分な信頼性(α=0.71〜0.90)が確認された.各尺度の交差妥当性は確認的因子分析法により適合度指標の検討を行った結果,本ストレッサー尺度の妥当性が確認された

In the presentation, gestures play a very important role as a means of improving the information transmission effect. Moreover, it was shown that the movement expressing the enthusiasm and intention of the presenter in an unconscious manner affects the success of the presentation and the impression on the audience. For these reasons, it is required for presentation robots to perform such movements; however, manual design of these movements is not an easy task. In this research, we propose a method to learn relationship between speech prosodic information and motion using a sequence to sequence model, and directly generate appropriate motions from prosodic information. This paper also proposes a method for generating motions representing meanings of specific words.
