A Research on Contract Consciousness in Asian Countries

我们原计划在此补贴期内收集台湾、新加坡、印度、巴基斯坦和以色列的数据，这是我们契约意识国际比较研究项目的最后阶段。1998年秋，我们赴台湾采集有效样品1614份。1999年夏，一名会员赴印度收集有效病例1331例。1998年巴基斯坦的政变使我们无法在那里进行问卷调查。或者，我们选择了埃及作为受伊斯兰文化影响的民族国家。2000年春，两名成员前往埃及，成功采集了691名商科学生样本。然而，我们试图做调查的开罗大学法学院要求我们获得埃及教育部对这种学生调查的批准。到2001年3月为止，统一部一直没有回应我们的要求。在2000年秋天，我们收集了多达1464个以色列样本。关于新加坡，由于不知道我们可以收集多少样品，所以我们无法进行调查。在这个项目中，我们遇到了一位瑞典学者，他正在瑞典为我们的项目收集数据。我们现在有21个国家或地区的数据集，包括我们在补贴期间收集的数据集。2001年，我们再次检查了这些数据，并将它们整合成一个数据集。当瑞典的数据到来时，数据集将包含来自22个国家或地区的样本。即使排除其中两个样本数量较少的西班牙和墨西哥，我们也将完成我们原来的计划，对20个国家或地区进行比较。我们已于2001年3月为目前的数据集准备了一份初步报告。我们将继续仔细分析数据集。

We originally plan to collect the data from Taiwan, Singapore, India, Pakistan, and Israel during this subsidy period, which is the final phase of our international comparative study project on contract consciousness. Fall 1998, we went to Taiwan and collected 1614 valid sample. In the summer of 1999, a member went to India and collected 1331 valid cases. The 1998 coup in Pakistan prevented us from doing our questionnaire survey there. Altemately, we chose Egypt as a nation state under the influence of Islamic culture. Two members went to Egypt and collected 691 business student samples successfully in Spring 2000. However, Cairo University Law School where we tried to do a survey asked us to get an approval of the Egyptian Ministry of Education for this kind of student survey. The ministry has not respond to our continuous request as of March 2001. In Fall 2000, we collected the Israel samples as many as 1464. As for Singapore, since there has been no knowing how many samples we can collect, we could not conduct a survey. In connection with this project, we met a Swedish scholar and he is collecting data in Sweden for our project. We now have 21 countries or areas data set including those we collected this subsidy period. During 2001, we checked them all again and integrated them into a data set. When Swedish data comes, the data set will contain samples from 22 countries or areas. Even excluding two of them, Spain and Mexico, that have small number of samples, we will complete our original plan to compare 20 countries or areas. We have prepared a primary report for our current data set in March 2001. We will continue to analyze the data set carefully.
