CULTURAL LINK ANALYSIS FOR COMPARATIVE SOCIAL RESEARCH: A NEW APPROACH FOR THE EXPLORATION OF STRUCTURE IN WAYS OF THINKING - Cross-national Analysis of General Social Attitudes

本研究是第四次在纵向调查的檀香山居民的统计数学研究所在东京与夏威夷大学在马诺阿合作。1971年的第一次抽样调查只包括檀香山的日裔选民，而后三次调查包括了檀香山的所有登记选民。报告共分四章，从“导言”开始，到“结束语”结束。第二章报告了1988年对所有样本受访者进行的调查的亮点，而第三章则从比较的角度重点关注日裔美国人，即，从1971年到1988年，他们发生了什么变化，以及他们与非日裔美国同胞的比较。

The present study represents the fourth in a longitudinal survey of Honolulu residents by the Institute of Statistical Mathematics in Tokyo in cooperation with the University of Hawaii at Manoa. The first sample survey of 1971 included Honolulu voters of Japanese ancestry only, while the last three surveys included all registered voters in Honolulu. The report contains four chapters, beginning with "Introduction" and ending with"Concluding Remarks". The second chapter reports on highlights of the 1988 survey of all sample respondents while the third chapter focuses on Japanese Americans in a comparative perspective, i.e., how they have changed from 1971 to 1988 and how they compare with non-Japanese American compatriots.
