| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Social movements are not yet very prevalent in Japan, despite high levels of dissatisfaction with political and living conditions. To clarify the situation, this study focuses on public attitudes toward social movements. Whether ordinary people see movements as an acceptable activity is affected by these attitudes toward social movements. In this study, a comparative analysis was conducted using survey data from Japan, South Korea, and Germany.
The main findings are as follows. First, the acceptance of participation in social movements requires a belief that such actions are an effective form of advocacy. However, in Japan, social movements are not considered as effective as they are in Germany and South Korea. Second, those who regard movements as representative are actually less likely to view public demonstrations as socially acceptable in Japan. This situation differs from that in South Korea and Germany.
