The Study of Extended Personal Networks with the Analysis of New Year Cards

执行这个项目有以下两个目的。一是以贺年卡为数据库，通过案例研究，把握个人的延伸人际网络（包括强关系和弱关系）。二是通过邮件调查，了解以亲密关系为中心的个人网络的内部结构。为了不同的目的，在三个城市进行了个案研究。在三高市，对从事社区中心管理工作的人员进行了个案研究。本研究的目的是调查居民参与当地社区的特征及其与他们扩展的个人网络的相互关系。在福冈市，我们对中西区和西西区的老年居民进行了案例研究，以捕捉他们在生命历程中扩展的个人网络的转变过程。在德岛市，对领导当地抗议运动的领导人w . More进行了个案研究，目的是调查动员网络收集请愿签名的过程。从上述案例研究的结果中，我们获得了许多有趣的发现。此外，从1999年进行的前测结果来看，我们发现面对面访谈和邮件调查在被调查者对被称为亲密朋友的5人之间相互关系的问题的回答准确性上没有必要的差异。因此，在2000年，我们随机抽取了东京都县的八个地区（市和区），并对总共2000名样本进行了邮件调查。这八个地区包括文京区、品川区、大田区、世田谷区、八公司市、大美市。Higashimurayama-shi和Tama-shi。8个地区按人口比例发放调查问卷2000份，回收有效样本656份，回复率为33.2%。在对数据进行清理和分析后，我们就网络结构的变量检验、地位获得与网络结构的关系等主题做了报告。报告的第一部分讨论了这些分析的结果，第二部分从案例研究中讨论了分析的结果。少

This project was carried out for the follewing two purposes. One is to grasp individuals' extended personal networks (including those of strong ties as well as weak ties) by conducting case studies with the use of New Year's cards as a data-base. The other is to understand the inner structure of individuals' networks focusing on those of their intimate relationships by conducting a mail survey.Case studies were carried out in three cities for different purposes. In Mitaka-city, case studies of those who engage in the administration of a community center were conducted. The purpose of this study was to investigate characteristics of the residents' participation in their local community and its interrelationships with their extended personal networks. In Fukuoka-city, case studies of elderly residents were carried out in Chuo-ku and Nishi-ku in order to capture transforming processes of their extended personal networks through life course. In Tokushima-city, case studies of the leaders w … More ho directed a local protest movement were carried out for the purpose of investigating the processes in which networks are mobilized for collecting signatures for a petition. From the results of the case studies described above, we obtained many interesting findings.Furthermore, from the results of the pretest conducted in 1999, we found that there are not necessary differences between face-to-face interviews and mail surveys in the accuracy ef respondents' answers to the questions that ask about interrelationships among the five persons mentioned as their close friends. Thus, in 2000, we randomly sampled eight regions (shi and ku) of Tokyo Prefecture and conducted a mail survey of a total sample of 2,000. The eight regions consist of Bunkyo-ku, Shinagawa-ku, Ohta-ku, Setagaya-ku, Hachiohji-shi, Oume-shi. Higashimurayama-shi, and Tama-shi. 2000 questionnaires were distributed according to the proportion of the population in the eight regions, and 656 valid samples were collected (the response rate was 33.2%). After the data-cleaning and analysis, we made reports on themes such as the examination of variables determining the network structure, and the relations of status attainment with the network structure, and so on. Part I of the report discusses the results of these analyses, and Part II discusses the results of the analyses from the case studies. Less
