  • There is a principle in human and machine "behavior", and it is possible to predict, evaluate and control using procedure of behavior analysis.
  • Establish experimental procedure measuring fluency and well-being targeting workers at work

The original research area of mine was the neuro-behavioral psychology of animals using pigeons and mice. Since I was engaged in medical care (as a registered nurse and midwife), I will consider why humans behave unsafely using objective indicators such as human behavior and biomarkers and subjective evaluation indicators such as well-being and stress. Also, I would like you to learn what is the procedure for transforming unsafe behavior into safe behavior using behavioral analytics methods.

From uncountable Performance to countable target behavior

A Day in the Lab

Why do unsafe behaviors occur? All behaviors derived by human are always accompanied by "concequence". Usually, we tend to focus on the "cause" before the behavior. However, it is thought that action is maintained, enhanced, reduced and/or eliminated by results after the action in the field of behavior analysis. By focusing on results (changes in the environment) after the behavior appears, it is possible to change the behavior for optimal direction. What is important is that there are overwhelmingly more cases of past behavior history (learning) and environment creating behavior than various behaviors occurring due to "personality" or "innate nature". This is a way of thinking that goes against the causal relationship that is generally spoken, but once this thinking circuit is created, it will be possible to grasp various phenomena occurring around us from a different perspective.
