In 1990, we chose a group of college students (1,570 persons) as research objects. At the period when they were still registered at a college, the first research was conducted. Since then, the time of twelve years has passed. In the meantime, the five times of research were carried out for them.The last research was conducted in 2002. The objects are 519 persons who were the respondents of the fourth research in 1998. The respondents of the last research are 379 persons (73 percent of the objects). Refer to "Development Report" vol.13 (Advanced Research Center for Human Science, Waseda University, 2003) about their basic attributes and life-style.In addition, we tried the life-story interview to 98 persons who are the respondents of the last research. Refer to "And They Became in the Middle Age of 30's." (Department of Sociology in Waseda University, 2004) about it.
