A Study of Statistical Science on Structure of Basic Consciousness ---Cultural Link Analysis concerning Religious Feelings and Daily Life---

考虑到今后在国际比较项目中使用的可能性，我们根据精心设计的系统研究计划，在日本某些地理限制的地区进行了邮件和网络调查。本研究的目的是在日常生活的背景下，通过对日本人内心的宗教情感和价值观的分析，找出日本人的深层心理结构。我们运用文化关联分析的观点对数据进行分析，在考虑任何可能的偏差时要谨慎，因为邮件调查的回复率很低，而且各地区的受访者之间存在差异。只要有可能，网络调查。在我们比较分析的数据集中，我们发现，对与潜在心理结构相关的项目（如内心的宗教感受）的反应变化小于对IT使用模式的属性和差异的观察;我们能够从这些变化出现的模式中获得对未来研究有用的见解。

With the possibility of use in future international comparative projects in mind, we conducted mail and web surveys in certain geographically restricted regions in Japan under a carefully designed, systemic research plan. Our aim was to locate the underlying mental structure of Japanese people with regard to such things like visceral religious feelings and sentiments within the context of everyday life and the values that support it. We applied the perspective of the Cultural Linkage Analysis in analyzing the data, being cautious in accounting for any possible bias stemming from the low response rate in the mail survey and from the variability among respondents across the web surveys whenever possible. Across the data sets that we comparatively analyzed, we found that variations in responses to the items related to the underlying mental structure such as visceral religious feelings were smaller than those observed for attributs and differences in the patterns of IT use ; we were able to obtain useful insights for future research from the patterns in which these variations emerged.
