Abstract(in English) This paper analyzes how our Prompter Communication System (PCS), which has single or several black circular images "●" embedded in the background of the text-field canvas to be used for tele-communication between two users, affects telel-communication users' self-disclosures. To the analysis, this research applies the concepts and features of psychological projection techniques and tests. According to these concepts and features, PCS is expected to enhance and encourage the users' self-disclosure, which is essential to developing intimate and deep interpersonal relationship. Communication experiments by using the prototype system, PCS, are conducted, where a Normal Communication System (NCS), which uses only plain text-field canvas without black circles, is compared with PCS. Two subjects are required to make tele-communication using PCS or NCS. PCS/NCS user writes texts to the canvas with/without randomly generated black circles and sends it (message) to the other user. After tele-communication experiments using PCS and NCS, to each message, for coders give a self-disclosure level, which modifies Daibo et al.'s self-disclosure levels. Consequently, it turns out that PCS gives significantly higher frequencies for the high self-disclosure level, which corresponds to the users' inner thoughts and emotions, than NCS.
