Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we have longitudinally examined accumulated social survey data from Japan since 1980s. In addition, we pursued five preliminary social surveys and experiments, so that we could grasp the current socio-economic reality, which was called mass-inequality society. At the same time, we developed a CAPI (computer assisited personal interviewing) social survey method and introduce it to the 1st Stratification and Social Psychology survey in 2015, which is one of the latest nationwide social surveys. We are currently in the process of detailed analysis, though we have immediately reported the descriptive outcome of the survey.
