| 研究実績の概要 |
This study aims to evaluate the performance and the communication style of journalists-interviewers during televised political interviews, and to assess their function in the political process in Japan.
For this purpose, data was collected during 2016 from four nationally-broadcast television programs: Puraimu Nyusu (Prime News), Shin Hodo 2001 (New Broadcast 2001), Gekiron Kurosufaya (Gekiron Crossfire) and Nichiyo Toron (Sunday Debate). Interviews from these programs for this particular study were carefully selected based on detailed criteria. Interviews then were recorded using a DVD recorder. A verbatim transcript was made of each selected interview.
Based on a methodology used by the chief researcher in previous research in Japan, criteria for identifying questions and responses were determined. Two coding sheets were devised for analyzing the structure and verbal content of the interviews: the first for interviewers' questions. The second coding sheet was devised for interviewees' responses.
I will continue to gather interview data in the coming months and analyze the nature of these interview programs with the aim to later compare and evaluate the performance and the communication style of Japanese journalists-interviewers with their counterparts in Western societies.

2: おおむね順調に進展している
理由
Considering the processes of both data collection and initial analysis of the data it can be said that at present this study is progressing rather smoothly.
As for the data collection: I plan to include in the sample of this study and analyze 120 interviewee-politicians and nonpoliticians. As of today, 110 interviews were DVD recorded and 94 of them were fully transcribed. The number of identified questions and answers in these 94 interviews reached 1,864; this suggest that the total number of questions and answers can reach 2,400, which is a large sample in this type of research.
Regarding the data analysis: I am working now on building a model on the interaction between questions and answers. This model consists of the content of interviewers' questions (regarding knowledge of events, personnel affairs, political parties, political processes, political commitments, and issues) in addition to the attributes of the respondents (including such factors as gender, age, ruling parties' politicians, opposition parties' politicians, local level politicians, and nonpoliticians).
As mentioned, data collection and data analysis are still in progress. Yet, at this stage the study smoothly progress. I am planning to finish the collection of the remaining data and the coding of the interviews within the coming few moths and to start immediately after the analysis of the total data.

| 今後の研究の推進方策 |
In the subsequent research, I will try to refine further models of the interaction between interviewers and interviewees. In addition, I will attempt to clarify how rhetoric is utilized in Japanese politics and in particular the role played by interviewers in Japanese political communication in comparison to their counterparts in other democracies.
When refinement the above mentioned models, I will consider the positions and role played by politicians in government and in their political groups, including affiliation with certain political camp, and how these affect the interaction with interviewers. Also, since it is expected that the optimal model will differ depending on the parameters examined in the replies to answers, I will try to analysis the data according to the extent that interviewers' replies were clear and direct replies to questions, two important factors in the Theory of Equivocation, examined in this study.
An important implication in this sense is that related analysis can reveal on the nature of the interaction between the interviewer and the interviewees: What questions are asked and how they are asked, to what questions politicians wouldn't reply and what type of rhetoric they used when presenting their replies. By conducting such discourse analysis, the study will present also ideas on the role played by interviewers in Japanese political culture and the way they affect political discourse in this country.

| 次年度使用額が生じた理由 |
This is because the individuals who did the transcriptions of the interviews got enthusiastic in their work and ended earlier than the planed schedule for this year.
|
| 次年度使用額の使用計画 |
In the next fiscal year, as in this fiscal year, I plan to use personnel expenses for such goals as transcribing the interviews data, coding the interviews, and inserting the data into the computer. In addition, expenses will be used for purchasing of DVDs for the videotaping of interviews sessions, for data analysis, statistical analysis software (IBM SPSS Statistics), and for editing/rewriting papers before presenting them in international associations and in international journals and books. For that matter part of the expenses will be used to participation in international scientific meetings and for collaboration in research with Europeans and American colleagues.
