The Effect of Sense of Ibasho and Sense of Authenticity on Mental Health: Comparison of Workplace, SNS, and Third Places (91087)
Session: On Demand
Room: Virtual Poster Presentation
Presentation Type: Virtual Poster Presentation
This study examined whether the sense of Ibasho (existential place) and sense of authenticity differ in three situations: workplace, school, a third place outside of work or school (such as a hobby group or a friendship group from school days), and an anonymous SNS (Social Networking Service). Approximately 300 participants were recruited through a crowdsourcing platform, with 290 valid responses (148 males, 142 females; M = 42.17, SD = 8.79). In this study, the Ishimoto (2010) psychological scale was used to measure self-usefulness and sense of authenticity in each of the three situations, and whether there were statistically significant differences between the scale scores in the different situations. Cronbach's alpha for each scale was calculated, with values ≥ .89 confirming internal consistency, and analysis was conducted using the same factor structure as previous studies. A one-way ANOVA was conducted to examine whether there were significant differences across the self-usefulness and sense of authenticity in the three situations, and found that the scores for self-usefulness were higher in the third place than in the workplace and in the workplace than in SNS (p < .05). In addition, scores for the sense of authenticity were significantly higher in the third place than in the workplace and in SNS than in the workplace (p < .05), indicating a significant difference in the sense of Ibasho and the sense of authenticity depending on the situation, as in the previous study. Additionally, lower levels of Ibasho and authenticity were associated with poorer mental health.
