| Research Abstract |
Examining the long term comparable follow up survey data in post-industrial phase, this study clarifies the similarities and differences in Japanese and the US societies. Japan spent an era of stability from the beginning of 80s' to the middle of 00s with respect to family, occupational and other social structures. We confirmed that the main determinant of the changes in social psychology was basically one's aging during this period in Japan. This reflects the fundamental stability of psychological functioning of Japanese people. In spite of the fact, remarkable transformations in value orientations and public opinions were also observed.
