Abstract
The authors have been involved in the Japanese Society of Psychosomatic Medicine (JSPM), and their recent activities include multifaceted approaches such as mindfulness, subjective happiness, well-being, socioemotional competencies (SEC), social media engagement (SME), education, and culture. Findings from several studies indicate that the four elements—mindfulness/meditation, happiness/well-being, SEC, and SME—are interrelated through one-way or mutual influences. As SME increases, happiness tends to decrease, suggesting that frequent SME has an inhibitory effect on happiness. Cultural orientation emerged as a moderator influencing the relationship between SEC and happiness. The link between culture and happiness varies depending on cultural alignment and the context-dependence of self-esteem.
