Welcome
Thank you for visiting this page.
I am involved in support and research based on the findings of industrial/organizational psychology and clinical psychology, with a desire to assist many people to shine more healthily and lively.
As a clinical psychologist, researcher, and general business worker, I will use my various backgrounds and knowledge to give back to society.
Profile
I am Momoko KOBAYASHI, a clinical psychologist and licensed psychologist.
I studied psychology at university and worked for a beverage manufacturer for about 7 years after graduation.
During my time as a company employee, I always felt that if workers could work healthier and more energetically, it would be a great benefit not only to the individual worker but also to the company. In order for each worker to be able to work vigorously, we believe that it is necessary to have a mature organization and society in which people of various backgrounds can respect each other and mutually improve each other. It is also important for each individual to deepen his or her self-understanding and acquire appropriate communication and self-care skills needed in social life.
I came to the conclusion that I would like to provide support for this purpose, so I re-studied clinical psychology at graduate school and became a licensed clinical psychologist and certified psychotherapist. D. in psychology, and I am currently engaged in research on industrial-organizational psychology as a JSPS Research Fellow PD (Postdoctoral Fellow at Kyushu University), working hard in both clinical practice and research.
I am engaged in interdisciplinary research and practice activities, drawing on my experience of working in general corporate settings, my clinical psychology practice, and my knowledge of industrial-organizational psychology. Our goal is to help healthy people live healthier and more active lives by approaching clinical psychological interventions not only in the clinical setting but also in the general society and demonstrating them scientifically.

*We are always looking for companies and offices that are willing to cooperate with our research.
In this study, with the aim of clarifying specific guidelines for judging what acts, attitudes, and conditions constitute power harassment, we developed a new “workplace power harassment” scale that measures the recognizability of power harassment (individual judgment of whether a certain act or situation constitutes power harassment) and the experience of power harassment (whether the individual has been subjected to it himself/herself or whether it has occurred in his/her workplace). We developed a new “Workplace Power Harassment Scale” to measure the perception of power harassment (an individual's judgment of whether an act or situation constitutes power harassment) and the experience of power harassment (have you been subjected to it yourself or has it occurred in your workplace) and examined its reliability and validity.
