Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Elderly people experience physical and mental deterioration and loss of social ties as they age. They need to overcome these lost experiences and live the rest of their lives through new encounters with people and society. It is expected to build a new friendship through conversations, mutual understanding, and empathy with others who meet for the first time. However, there is no research on the context in which elderly people disclose themselves to the other party at the first meeting. Therefore, this research focuses on the utterance of self-disclosure in the scene of the first meeting to build a new friendship. We will clarify what kind of self-disclosures are being made and how those interactions are related to their mental health. For the purpose we record two-way conversations for eight women aged 70 and over who meet for the first time, and extract self-disclosure utterances. As a quantitative analysis, we map the content of self-disclosure utterances on the two axes of "depth" and "positive / negative", and analyze the characteristics of self-disclosure that frequently occur at the first-time encounters. In addition, as a qualitative analysis, observe what kind of feedbacks the listener has regarding self-disclosures and how the positive / negative content of self-disclosures is linked. Finally, we discuss how such interactions lead to the mental health of the elderly.
