The State of Reception of Japanese Comics and Television Animations by the East and Southeast Asian Children and their Parents

2005年，我们进行了以下研究和分析。1)根据2004年在这四个国家进行的问卷调查，我们对调查结果进行了统计分析和讨论。A)各国儿童数据B)各国父母数据c)儿童与父母数据异同的讨论2)四国数据比较3)2005年台北国际大众传播协会会议上，我们在会议上提出了“东亚和东南亚儿童及其父母对日本漫画和电视动画的接受状况”，并在网上公布了报告。4)对问卷调查和访谈进行了定量和定性分析，总结了三年的研究成果。根据我们调查的研究结果，可以说东亚（本次调查中韩国和中国）和东南亚（印度尼西亚、马来西亚）对日本的态度存在明显差异。这一结果似乎与这些国家过去与日本的历史经历有很大关系，也与儿童在每个国家的处境有关。虽然在这四个国家，日本的动画和漫画内容广泛传播，但事实并不意味着每个国家的孩子都喜欢日本。与印度尼西亚和马来西亚的孩子相比，韩国和中国的孩子对日本的态度更为消极。这与这四个国家过去的历史经验有很大关系。这样的画面不容易被日本内容的传播所抹去。换句话说，日本的动画和漫画被认为比日语更普遍。在马来西亚和印度尼西亚，我们可以看到东南亚国家对日本的兴趣有所增加，这里是印度尼西亚和马来西亚。

In 2005 we conducted the following researches and analyses.1)Based on the questionnaires conducted in each of the four countries in 2004, we have made the statistical analyses and discussed on the results.A)Data of children in each country,B)Data of parents in each countryC)Discussions on similarities and differences between children' s and parents' data2)Comparisons of the data among four countries3)In the Conference of the International Association of Mass Communication in Taipei, 2005, we presented "The State of Reception of Japanese Comics and Television Animations by the East and Southeast Asian Children and their Parents" in the session and publicized the report on the web.4)The quantitative and qualitative analyses of the questionnaire surveys and interviews were discussed to summarize the three years research.According to the research results of our survey it can be said that there is a clear cut difference in the attitudes towards Japan between the East Asia (in this research Korea and China) and the Southeast Asia (Indonesia, Malaysia). This result seems to have a lot to do with the past historical experiences of these countries with Japan and also the situations children are placed in each country. Although in all four countries the Japanese animation and comic contents are widely diffused, the facts do not mean that children in each country does like the country of Japan. In Korea and China children have more negative attitudes to Japan compared to the children in Indonesia and Malaysia. This has a lot to do with the historical past experience of these four countries. Such images are not easily erased by the diffusion of the Japanese contents. If we put it in another way, the Japanese animations and comics are seen as more universal than Japanese. In Malaysia and Indonesia we can see some tendency of increased interests in Japan in the Southeast Asian countries, here namely, Indonesia and Malaysia.
