研究開始時の研究の概要

Do personality traits and in-group affinity attachments predict SARS-CoV-2 attitudes and behaviours in Japanese young people 18-25? What modalities and discursive techniques are used in the communication of SARS-CoV-2 public health information across Japan’s 47 prefectural government websites?

研究実績の概要

During the first half of the year, the quantitative data collected from 750 students across four university sites was processed for statistical analysis. Several theoretical models were tested, and various alternative theories were examined. Contextual information on SARS-CoV-2 attitudes and behaviours was gathered from news media and official documentation. The research team worked for several months to draft a full-length research article inclusive of the data from the previous year. The final model demonstrates how national identity attachments and political beliefs inform SARS-CoV-2 vaccine hesitancy and susceptibility to misinformation within Japanese youth. Framing national identities in relation to nationalism may heighten the vulnerability of individuals and communities to SARS-CoV-2 infection by fueling vaccine hesitancy and susceptibility to misinformation. Conversely, a patriotic approach to the perceived threat better prioritizes the collective well-being of the in-group, particularly concerning health and the economy. This beneficial impact is amplified when accompanied by trust in the government's response to SARS-CoV-2. Essentially, those with stronger patriotic identities are inclined to endorse public health recommendations aimed at safeguarding the collective welfare of the in-group. This research suggests that government discourse must seek to establish a balance between earning the trust and support of youth, promoting a positive love of country, and advocating for self-constraint and collective responsibility as valued members of a national in-group.

理由

The current project is progressing rather smoothly and has been successful in achieving the primary aims thus far. All minor situational changes and problems were overcome (such as those that exist in coordinating interdisciplinary research collaboration from various sites across the country), and the project and team members have continued to work diligently toward the stated aims.

今後の研究の推進方策

The original plan to collect quantitative data from across four university sites has been suspended for the final year of the project. This is due to two factors. First, the value of further analysis into individual attitudes and behaviours is lessened due to the rapidly changing situation concerning the threat and status of SARS-CoV-2 within society, and the ongoing emergence into a post-COVID society. Second, the securing of ethical permission across four university sites is time consuming and challenges the ability of the project to be reactive to the rapidly changing social situation in terms of data collection. This year the current project will shift its focus toward qualitative data collection and analysis. The team members will investigate the function of language and visual imagery in health announcements, health documentation and health posters from a multimodal perspective. For example, the project plans to examine considerations concerning the provision of bilingual information in the form of local and national government health discourse. Additional points of interest to be explored include the language used within the promotional literature of those pharmaceutical companies' administering SARS-CoV-2 vaccinations. The focus on qualitative data in the form of language analysis permits the research team to broaden the scope of inquiry and be more productive in disseminating results in the form of publications and presentations.
