Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study aimed to apply the techniques which developed in spatial statistics to the attitude research in social psychology. The primary purpose is to visualize in three-dimensional space of the social attitude. A second purpose is to predict expressed in the model time-series changes.
Three dimensional visualizing models have developed and applied for interpersonal attitude and social attitudes data. Inter-model comparison by predictive criteria were carried out.As a result, it can be visualized by combining two kinds of three-dimensional models and three different spatial complementary model. And it revealed that the best model for small group data is the classic social psychological model.
