APPLYING QUANTITATIVE MODELING TO THE STUDY OF THE MIND

ABSTRACT
In this paper we will use Dr. Yukio Ishizuka’s model of mental health (Ishizuka, 1982, 1988) and the extensive daily self-rated data presented by one of his patients (who shall be called Mike) to better understand whether inescapable causes of well-being really exist. Simple multiple regression will be used to allow the reader the pleasure of jumping into Mike subjective world.

It is the hope of the authors that the theory, data and methodology found in this research can in time lead to (1) better understand the nature and interaction of human psychological needs for self-actualization, (2) provide the first quantifiable means to examine and refine an understanding of psychological health from a systems perspective, and (3) explain how subjective perceptions of a person’s sense of self, intimacy and achievement can contribute to overall psychological health.

This paper is a shorter version that builds on the earlier work by Ishizuka, Nathalie “Travel Inside the Mind of an Executive: To Hell, Back and Beyond.”
