Autopoietic questions and answers (AQAs) are sequences of spontaneously structured thinking processes that underlie re-examination of self, existence, and future-oriented problem solving. Although the AQAs are thought to play important positive and negative roles in the problem solving that takes place in our daily life, very little is known about how these processes actually function. The present study was conducted to establish the research area of the AQAs through empirical and theoretical analysis.The empirical analysis was composed of two questionnaire investigations, a half-structured interview, and a laboratory-based experiment. In the first investigation, several groups of the AQAs that university students experienced in everyday life were collected. The other investigation was based on items derived from the first investigation. A questionnaire about the AQAs was then constructed and administered.Factor analysis was applied to the data obtained from 331 university students and revealed that, in form, the AQAs consisted of four factors : the spatial form factor, the temporal form factor, the recursive form factor, and the existential form factor. Six postgraduate students participated in interviews conducted twice at intervals of one year. The data obtained from the interviews clarified the processes involved in the reconstruction of the self through the use of AQAs. The model of AQAs was constructed to explore the relationship between cognitive processes of the AQAs and involuntary triggering of autobiographical memories.The empirical findings of this study suggested that AQAs play both positive and negative roles in decision making that can affect choice of career, for example, by promoting the creation of a actual self through internal observation. The study also proposed a cognitive model for the processes underlying the AQAs as well as discussion of direction for further research.

自动问题和答案（AQA）是自发结构化的思维过程的序列，这些过程是对自我，存在和未来面向的问题解决的重新检查的基础。尽管AQA被认为在我们日常生活中发生的问题解决中扮演着重要的积极和负面角色，但对于这些过程的实际运作却很少知道。进行了本研究，以通过经验和理论分析来建立AQA的研究领域。经验分析由两项问卷调查，一个半结构化访谈和一个基于实验室的实验组成。在第一次调查中，收集了大学生在日常生活中经历的几组AQA。另一项调查是基于从第一次调查中得出的项目。然后构建了有关AQA的调查表。将因子分析应用于从331名大学生那里获得的数据，并揭示出AQA的形式由四个因素组成：空间形态，时间符号，递归形式，递归形态和存在的形式。六名研究生参加了两次的面试，每隔一年。从访谈中获得的数据阐明了通过使用AQA的重建自我的过程。构建了AQA的模型，以探索AQA的认知过程与自愿触发自传记忆之间的关系。这项研究的经验发现表明，AQA在决策中既发挥了积极和负面的作用，既可以通过内部观察来促进实际的自我来创造实际的自我。该研究还提出了一个认知模型，以解决AQA基础的过程，并讨论了进一步研究的方向。
