Abstract:
Self-affirmation is the feeling of being able to affirm one's own value and meaning of existence. It is known that self-affirmation among the Japanese is extremely low compared to that of other countries. Low self-affirmation is a negative influence in various aspects of daily life, and therefore, it is important to increase self-affirmation. We construct a self-reframing diary system that enables users to perform a counseling method called reframing, in which they change the framework in which they look at things and see themselves from a different perspective, in order to enhance their self-affirmation, and examine whether self-reframing can improve self-affirmation. The results of an experiment showed that although self-reframing was not effective in improving self-affirmation for all participants, more than half of them improved their self-affirmation, and in particular, participants who originally had high self-affirmation could expect a further improvement in self-affirmation through self-reframing.
