Qualitative Comparison by Boolean Approach

1.布尔方法被应用于历史社会学、社会运动、组织、社会心理学和社会行为领域中关于民众抗议、志愿者群体、社会意识、生育意向和其他方面的各种主题。这些结果表明布尔方法适用于不同的领域和主题。2.将布尔方法应用于各种类型的研究数据，包括历史数据、现有的Meta分析数据、交叉表数据、插图数据和字母数据。这些结果表明布尔方法适用于各种研究数据。3.将布尔方法应用于理论形式化和理论比较。其中一位研究人员提出了一种新的方法，通过对角色的层次性和可见性进行演绎建模来分析角色结构。4.为了将Boolesn方法扩展为数学模型，我们对最小化算法的规范、与Logit模型的比较以及二分值的判据进行了方法论检验。如上所述，在本研究项目中，我们从方法论上考察了(4)，开发了适用于各种研究数据(2和3)的新方法，并对实质性主题(1)进行了实际应用。特别是在实质性主题的研究中，将布尔方法应用于主观逻辑和对情境进行主观定义的方法是有效的。

1.Boolean approach was applied to various themes concerning popular protest, volunteer group, social consciousness, intention on birth and others in the areas of historical sociology, social movement, organization, social psychology, and social behavior. These results showed that Boolean approach was applicable to various areas and themes.2.Boolean approach was applied to various type of research data which include historical data, existing data for meta-analysis, cross-tabulation data, vignette data, and letter data. These results showed that Boolean approach was applicable to various research data.3.Boolean approach was applied to formalize theories and compare theories. An new method was proposed by one of the investigators, which analyze role structure by modelling hierarchy and visibility of roles deductively.4.To expand Boolesn approach as mathematical model, we tried methodological examination on the specification on minimization algorithm, the comparison with Logit model, and the criterion of dichotomous value. There, we proposed some countermeasures to limited diversity and contradictory rows which restrict Boolean approach seriously.As stated above, in this research project, we examined methodologically (no.4), developed new methods to apply to various research data (no.2 and no.3), and conducted actual application to substantive themes (no.1). Especially, in researches on substantive themes, the method which apply Boolean approach to subjective logic and subjective definition to situation was effective.
