Outline of Research at the Start

本研究では,(1) 様々な文化において社会的発展の方向性がどのように捉えられているのかを整理すること,さらに(2)幸福感の理想のあり方とその理想水準の文化差を明らかにすることを目的としたものである。人々の考える自国の社会的発展の方向性が文化によって異なっており,幸福感のあり方にも文化差が見られることを検討しようとしている。ブラジル,カナダ,フランス,香港,インド,日本,メキシコ,ナイジェリア,ポーランド,トルコ,アメリカなどでの調査を行い,社会的発展の方向性が一般的にどのように考えられているのかに関して文化差を検証している。

Outline of Annual Research Achievements

In order to develop the idea of cultural sensitivity in measuring societal growth, we studied the societal development and societal well-being processes in a cross-cultural scheme. We carried out a series of theoretical studies, and two large cross-cultural empirical studies; our data collection covered fifty countries. On mapping of the aims of societal development, we collected data from almost 3,000 participants from nine countries. Our findings from this study demonstrate that while lay people understand modernization in relatively similar ways across cultures, their perceptions of specific pathways of modernization are largely different. In the secondary line of our empirical study, we finalized data collection from almost 13,000 participants from fifty countries.
