The East Asia Value Survey

本研究的主要目的是：1）对东亚国家人民的价值观和态度进行一系列统计抽样调查，2）分析世界经济和政治和平发展的“人民信任感”，建立跨国比较研究的数据库，了解各国人民的社会态度和价值观。以上，我们在Behaviormetrika和Japanese Journal of Behaviormetrics等杂志上发表了许多研究论文。至于第三项，我们正准备设立一个网页，让市民在电脑网络上查阅统计调查的数据集。此外，我们还将过去的调查数据（7个国家的调查）捐赠给了德国的ZA（Zentralarchiv），以便在他们的监督下向公众开放数据。我们仍在继续努力进行数据分析和数据存档，将我们的研究扩展到我们的调查团队之外。

The main objectives of this study were 1)to carry out a series of statistical sampling surveys on peoples' values and attitudes of the East Asian countries, 2)to analyze the "peoples' sense of trust" concerning the peaceful development of world economy and politics, and 3)to establish data-base of our cross-national comparative studies for the mutual understanding of peoples' social attitudes and values.For 1)and 2)above, we have published many research papers in the special issues of Behaviormetrika and Japanese Journal of Behaviormetrics among others. As for 3), we are preparing a home page for public access to our survey data sets on the computer network. Also we have donated our past survey data (7 countries survey) to ZA (Zentralarchiv) in Germany, so that the data is now open to public under their supervision.We are still continuing our efforts on the data analysis and data-archiving, extending our research beyond our survey team.
