The State of Reception of Japanese Comics and Television Animations by the East and Southeast Asian Children and their Parents

2005年，我们进行了以下研究和分析：1)基于2004年在四个国家进行的问卷调查，对结果进行了统计分析和讨论。A)各国儿童数据，B)各国家长数据，C)儿童S与家长数据的异同讨论2)四国数据的比较3)2005年在台北举行的国际大众传播协会会议上，4)对问卷调查和访谈进行了定量和定性分析，总结了三年的研究成果。从调查结果来看，东亚地区(本研究中的韩国、中国)和东南亚地区(印度尼西亚、马来西亚)对日本的态度可以说存在着明显的差异。这一结果似乎与这些国家过去与日本的历史经验以及每个国家儿童被安置的情况有很大关系。虽然日本动漫内容在这四个国家都得到了广泛传播，但事实并不意味着每个国家的孩子都喜欢日本这个国家。与印度尼西亚和马来西亚的儿童相比，韩国和中国的儿童对日本的态度更消极。这与这四个国家过去的历史经验有很大关系。这样的图像不容易被日本内容的传播抹去。换一种说法，日本动漫被认为比日本动漫更具普遍性。在马来西亚和印度尼西亚，我们可以看到东南亚国家(这里是印度尼西亚和马来西亚)对日本的兴趣有所增加。

In 2005 we conducted the following researches and analyses.1)Based on the questionnaires conducted in each of the four countries in 2004, we have made the statistical analyses and discussed on the results.A)Data of children in each country,B)Data of parents in each countryC)Discussions on similarities and differences between children' s and parents' data2)Comparisons of the data among four countries3)In the Conference of the International Association of Mass Communication in Taipei, 2005, we presented "The State of Reception of Japanese Comics and Television Animations by the East and Southeast Asian Children and their Parents" in the session and publicized the report on the web.4)The quantitative and qualitative analyses of the questionnaire surveys and interviews were discussed to summarize the three years research.According to the research results of our survey it can be said that there is a clear cut difference in the attitudes towards Japan between the East Asia (in this research Korea and China) and the Southeast Asia (Indonesia, Malaysia). This result seems to have a lot to do with the past historical experiences of these countries with Japan and also the situations children are placed in each country. Although in all four countries the Japanese animation and comic contents are widely diffused, the facts do not mean that children in each country does like the country of Japan. In Korea and China children have more negative attitudes to Japan compared to the children in Indonesia and Malaysia. This has a lot to do with the historical past experience of these four countries. Such images are not easily erased by the diffusion of the Japanese contents. If we put it in another way, the Japanese animations and comics are seen as more universal than Japanese. In Malaysia and Indonesia we can see some tendency of increased interests in Japan in the Southeast Asian countries, here namely, Indonesia and Malaysia.
