Empirical Studies of Japanese Contemporary Networks

过去一年的研究结果如下。神女院研究小组向神女院教的所有灵社（拥有精神力量的人，一种媒介）发出了一份问卷，大约800份，其中大约500份完成了。通过问卷调查，我们能够获得关于Reinosha的第一手资料，Reinosha是这个宗教团体吸引力的来源背后的力量，Sesshin（通过Reinosha的力量客观观察自我的反映）。虽然还需要对这些数据进行充分的分析，但发现年长的几代人在加入宗教的动机上存在差异，年长的几代人倾向于因为感到被剥夺而加入，而年轻的几代人则倾向于因为相反的原因加入，即缺乏被剥夺的感觉。然而，无论是哪种情况，人们发现，更多地沉浸在Shinnyo-en的信仰中会导致信仰的重建。 ...更多信息 世俗的道德观。研究本山寺的小组对ko（一个促进追求宗教信仰的小型协会团体）的成员进行了一些调查。研究发现，歌会的活动相对独立于寺庙，其特征之一是中年男子参与歌会所维持的社会网络。在民族网络研究小组中，对Kozan Kinshi（Kwansan kimshi）社会协会成员进行了调查，该协会是日本朝鲜族亲属团体的协会。数据表明，在日本的朝鲜人的新演变的种族是一个战略重新解释的区域性和血缘关系，他们一直坚持的产品。关于日本华人的研究，在前一年从京都万福寺二照协会获得的调查数据的基础上，通过进行个人访谈，同时也对支持保持华人种族的机制进行了解释。这是通过研究京都福建社区的形成过程来进行的。在过去一年中，上述研究的目的是通过审查在当今后现代社会背景下宗教和民族群体中发现的传统因素重新活跃的程度，掌握现代日本网络的综合情况。少

The results of research conducted over the past year are as follows.1. The shinnyo-en research group sent out a questionnaire to all Reinosha (a person who possesses spiritual powers, a medium) in the Shinnyo-en Religion, approximately 800, of which around 500 were returned completed. Through the questionnaire we were able to obtain first hand data on Reinosha who are the force behind the source of this religious group's magnetism, sesshin (the objective observation of a reflection of one's self through the powers of a Reinosha). As yet sufficient analysis of this data has to be carried out but, nevertheless, a difference in motivation for joining the religion was found between the elder generations, who had a tendency to join because of a feeling of deprivation, whereas younger generations tended to join for the opposite reason, a lack of a feeling of deprivation. However, in either case, it was found that greater immersion in Shinnyo-en's beliefs led to a reconstruction of the believ … More er's mundane ethics.2. The group studying Honzanji Temple, conducted a number of surveys addressed to members of ko (a small association group formed promote pursuit of religious beliefs). It was found that the ko are relatively independent of the temple in their activities and that one of their features is the social network maintained by middle aged men participating in the ko.3. In the Ethnic Networks research group, a survey on members of Kozan Kinshi (Kwansan kimshi) Social Association, an association of Korean kinship group in Japan, was conducted. The data suggests that the newly evolving ethnicity of the Koreans in Japan is the product of a strategic re-interpretation of the regionalties and consanguinity they have traditionally maintained.4. Research on persons of Chinese descent in Japan expanded on survey data obtained from the Kyoto Manpukuji Temple Futosho Association the year before, by conducting individual interviews whilst also pursuing an explanation of the mechanism which supports the maintenance of Chinese ethnicity. This was carried out by examining the process involved in the formation of the Fukien community in Kyoto.5. The aim of the above research, during this past year, was to grasp a composite picture of modern Japanese networks by examining the extent of a re-activation of the traditional elements found in religions and ethnic groups within the context of post-modern society of today.
