An Empirical Study of Values of the Japanese

在这个项目中进行了四次调查。这些调查包括：（1）价值观调查（N = 2000），（2）教师社会意识和教育意识调查（N = 2000），（3）社区意识和价值观调查教师（N = 1000），（4）高中社会意识和教育意识调查（N = 1000）。关于价值观调查，由于财政限制，我们无法进行全国范围的调查。相反，我们在茨木县进行了调查。地方调查的结果与全国调查的结果是一致的。例如，将本调查的日本宗教意识结果与日本-欧洲价值观调查的结果进行比较，发现两项调查的答案分布几乎相同。我们还尝试了提高邮件调查回复率的方法。

Four surveys were conducted in this project. They include (1) A survey on values (N=2000), (2) A Survey of Social and Educational consciousness of Teachers (N=2000), (3) Community Consciouness and Value Survey Teachers(N=1000), (4) A Survey of Social and Educational Consciousness of Highschool (N=1000). With respect to a survey on values, we could not conduct a nation-wide survey due to financial constraint. Instead we conducted a survey in Ibaraki Prefecture. Findings obtained in local survey have turned out to be comparable with the results of nation-wide surveys. For example, comparing the result of Japanese religious sense of this survey with that of the result in Japanese-European Value Survey, it has been found that the distribution of answers is almost identical for both surveys. We also experimented the method of improving response rate in mail surveys.
