What are the criteria by which we perceive and evaluate ourselves? And are these perceptions and evaluations objectively reasonable?
It is believed that the surrounding people and environment influence and sometimes distort our perception and evaluation of our self-image.

This study group was established with the goal of identifying what social factors are considered problematic in terms of their influence on the perception and evaluation of self-image, and what phenomena are considered problematic as distortions in the perception and evaluation of self-image, and to formulate them into a research project.
The first meeting of the study group was held on the following date.
The first meeting is limited to CogNAC members only, but a symposium that is open to other members will be held in July or later.
We will continue to announce the next and subsequent meetings on our website, so if you are interested, please feel free to join us! (Hamamoto)
