| 研究実績の概要 |
The research activities for 2020 went according to the research plan. I created a survey questionnaire to be administered to a representative sample of 1500 Japanese adults. After completing and pretesting the survey and treatments, the survey was administered according to schedule around the 2020 US presidential election. The first wave in October early November and the second wave in early December. Upon completion of the survey, I worked to clean and prepare the data set for analysis. The data collection and preparation progressed smoothly. The research is thus progressing along as expected. Preliminary analysis has provided support for a number of hypotheses from the research plan. Following preliminary data analysis, I began writing 2 paper drafts to present the result at an academic conference.

2: おおむね順調に進展している
理由
Despite the difficulties of 2020, the project was able to progress as planned. One possible hold up is participation in an international conference as international travel is not an option. Fortunately, many conferences will remain mixed hybrid next year so I hope to participate virtually to spread the results of the study. One additional issue concerns the strength of the "foreign threat" treatment. The treatment exposed respondents to a foreign language. It was decided to provide a "nihongo" button to switch the page to Japanese to keep the response rate high. The "ninhongo" button was quite noticeable which encouraged most respondents to move directly to the Japanese page. I would like to collect additional data next year with a smaller or less visible "nihongo" button to consider the effect of a stronger treatment.

| 今後の研究の推進方策 |
Over the next year the plan is to first write 3 papers analyzing the collected data. The first paper considers the impact of "cultural threat" on attitudes toward globalization. The 2 remaining paper focus on US-Japan relations and examine Japanese attitudes toward the US. One paper consider the effect of the US election as a natural treatment on US soft power. The other considers the impact of social movements such as BLM and MeToo on US soft power.
Second, I would like to collect additional data as described above. One limitation of the collected data is the relative weakness of the "cultural threat" treatment. There is however a trade off between respondents dropping from the survey (closing the browser) if the treatment is too strong, but there was no evidence of this occurring from the initial study.
Third, I will aim to present at least 2 of the papers at an international conference and upon receiving feedback submit the manuscripts to a peer reviewed international journal.

| 次年度使用額が生じた理由 |
The amount to be used next fiscal year is intended to support participation in an academic conference to help spread the results of the study. The survey incidence rate was higher than anticipated which led to a slightly lower cost for administering the survey than estimated. There was uncertainty about the IR rate for the survey due to the nature of the experimental design which exposed respondents to a foreign language treatment.
