Abstract The purpose of this study was to discuss the influence of the deference on the task instructions to the feeling of Dohsa-experience and Dohsa-performance in application of Dohsa-hou. One instruction i...s “Please raise your arm and down your arm. (Movement instruction)” and another instruction is “Please raise your arm and down your arm with relaxation of your body. (Relaxation instruction)”. During the movement, the experimenter saw how long it takes for that. After that, subjects checked the scale of feeling of Dohsa-experience. As a result, in the movement instruction condition, subjects feel “change of their body”, “refresh”, “active”, “attention to the body”, “self attitude of active trial and error”, “self attitude of concentration” more than another. In the movement instruction, subjects feel “vague” and “confusion” more than another. In addition, it takes more long time for relaxation condition than another. This result means that clear instruction of relaxation made subjects experience actual feelings. In addition, because subjects were not used to relaxation activity, they experience new feelings. So, therapists should consider the features of instruction in the therapy of application of Dohsa-hou.show more
