This research aimed at (1) clarifying the logic of rational choice theory, (2) constructing mathematical models of various social phenomena in terms of rational choice theory, (3) linking rational choice theory to empirical studies, and (4) reconstructing sociology on the basis of rational choice theory.We constructed and analyzed mathematical models of trust, differential association, consensus formation, social movement, coalition formation, etc. We deduced propositions concerning, for example, effects of communication on trust, and properties of the combination of evaluation principles that leads to unanimous agreement.We paid special attention to evolutionary game theory. We reviewed studies on relationship between rationality and evolution/learning, and analyzed social phenomena such as power and consensus formation in terms of the evolutionary game theory.We also tried to establish the link between rational choice theory and empirical studies. We consider the way to verify or falsify the predictions from the rational choice perspective by analyzing data from social surveys or experiments concerning environmental problems, collective action, social movement, etc.Moreover, we examined the significance of rational choice theory in sociology from empirical, normative, and prescriptive perspectives, and replied to the criticism of rational choice theory.The results of our research provide the base for reconstructing sociology from the perspective of rational choice theory.

这项研究旨在（1）阐明理性选择理论的逻辑，（2）在理性选择理论方面构建各种社会现象的数学模型；关于沟通对信任的影响，以及导致一致达成共识的评估原则的属性。我们特别关注进化游戏理论。我们回顾了有关理性与进化/学习之间关系的研究，并根据进化游戏理论分析了社会现象，例如权力和共识形成。我们还试图在理性选择理论与经验研究之间建立联系。我们考虑通过分析社会调查或有关环境问题，集体行动，社会运动等实验的数据来验证或伪造预测的方法。除此之外，我们研究了从经验，规范和规定的研究理论的基础研究中，我们研究了理性选择理论在社会学中的意义，并回答了我的基础研究。理性选择理论的观点。
