Japanese Perceptions of Social Justice

我们进行了关于正义感的全国性调查。本研究的主要目的是探讨正义感的作用机制，捕捉日本人正义感的具体特征，并描述其纵向变化。由于日本社会在20世纪90年代发生了巨大变化，从“繁荣”的经济到衰退，从自民党统治到脆弱的联合政府，我们将1997年的调查数据与1991年的调查数据进行了比较。例如，我们发现，人们开始更多地看到贫困的社会原因。然而，我们普遍发现，尽管日本社会发生了巨大的变化，但与正义相关的观念并没有发生太大的变化。但是，在比较社会公平气氛的问题时，我们发现，90年代的不公平感似乎比以前多了。我们还发现，“规则”相关判断和“努力”相关态度的特殊作用机制。我们还调查了日本人在“收入分配形象“、“对工作场所性别不平等的看法”、“对社会公平的看法”、“对社会公平的看法”、“对社会“和“关于少数民族的社会政策的意见。"

We conducted national survey on perceptions of justice. Our main focus was to investigate the working mechanism of justice perceptions, to capture specific features of Japanese justice-related feelings, and to depict their longitudinal changes.Since Japanese society had changed drastically during 1990's, from the "boom" economy to recession, from the abiding LDP rule to a fragile coalition government, we compared 1997 survey data with 1991 one. We found, for example, that people had come to see the causes of poverty more social ones. However, we generally found that Japanese justice-related perceptions had not changed so much in spite of the drastic social change. However, when we compare the question on social atmosphere of justice, it seems that more people felt injustice in 1990's than in former periods.We also found some special working mechanism of "rule" related judgments and "effort" related attitudes.We also investigated Japanese characteristics on "image of income distribution, " "perceptions of gender inequality in the workplace, " and "opinions about social policies concerning minorities."
