Subjective, intersubjective, and objective social statuses: How do people imagine social inequality
Previous studies have shown that although subjective social status is related to objective social status, these statuses do not necessarily coincide with each other. Consequently, the relationship between subjective social status and social inequality had not been sufficiently explored. Accordingly, this study explored how and why they are related to each other by introducing the new concept of intersubjective social status. To measure subjective…
How Japan’s Covid-19 vaccination policy shapes trust in governance: A relative deprivation approach
This study examines changes in the association between social policy performance and trust in government, focusing on the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination policy implemented by Japan’s central government. Data from the Online Panel Survey of Stratification and Social Psychology (SSPW2021-Panel) were analyzed using two-way fixed effects regression models. The quadratic term of the COVID-19 vaccination rate at the prefecture level ha…
Unequal Resilience: Socioeconomic Disparities in Mental Health Trajectories and the Role of Social Capital During the Covid-19 Pandemic—Longitudinal Evidence from Japan
The positive and negative effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on subjective well-being and changes in social inequality: Evidence from prefectures in Japan
This study aims to specify the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on individual subjective well-being in Japan and to clarify the mechanism generating social inequality of subjective well-being during the crisis. Data were analyzed using fixed effects ordinary least squares (OLS) regression models from the Online Panel Survey of Social Stratification and Psychology in 2020 (SSPW2020-Panel), which was conducted in four waves in June 2020, September …
The Effects of Postmaterialist Values on Average Life Satisfaction at the Country Level: What Generates Differences in Subjective Well-Being among European Countries
The aim of this study is to clarify the social mechanisms that generate differences in the average life satisfaction among European countries by specifying the latent structures of life satisfaction. For this purpose, data from the European Values Study conducted from 2017 to 2020 (EVS 2017) were analyzed using finite mixtures of regression models. The results revealed that the respondents to the EVS 2017 could be categorized into two latent grou…
Support for social policies: Focusing on effects of group belonging
This study aims to elucidate the structure of support for social policies (redistribution and free competition), focusing on the role of community interests (especially demographic decline). To this end, Japan was selected as a case study because it has the highest proportion of the elderly population in the world. The author analyzed data from the National Survey of Social Stratification and Social Mobility in 2015 and the Population Census for …
Two Latent Groups Influencing Subjective Social Status: Middle Class Tendency and Clear Class Consciousness
Shin-nihon no kaikyū shakai (New Class Society in Japan)
New Class Society in Japan is a relatively small book, yet it is rich in information about contemporary Japan’s social classes. This book targets general readers with an interest in social inequality; its style is quite accessible to most readers. And yet, its content is complex and will seem provocative to certain people (e.g. supporters of market principles). This book is also likely to be stimulating for academics. The author argues strongly t…
Two Types of Support for Redistribution of Wealth: Consistent and Inconsistent Policy Preferences
This article aims to clarify the latent structure of support for redistribution. To this end, the author analyzed data from the National Survey of Social Stratification and Social Mobility in 2015 (SSM 2015), which was conducted in Japan, using finite mixtures of regression models. The results revealed that the population could be categorized into two latent groups: one that determines preferences for social policies based on self-interest and an…
Why Do the Japanese Still See Themselves as Middle Class? The Impact of Socio-structural Changes on Status Identification
This article aims to lay bare the mechanisms that produced the ‘quiet transformation’ of status identification in Japan. To achieve this goal, data from the Stratification and Social Psychology Survey from 2015 (SSP 2015) and the Social Stratification and Social Mobility Survey from 1995 (SSM 1995) are analyzed. Linear regression models with weighted variables and simulations based on the data from the SSP 2015 are used to clarify how changes in …
Why Do Advantaged People Feel Unhappy? Effects of Materialistic Values on Subjective Well-Being
This article aims to explore the relationship between income and happiness. As shown by the Easterlin paradox, the relationship between income and happiness is not simple but indeed is rather complicated. The author used finite mixtures of regression models to analyze the data from the National Survey of Social Stratification and Social Mobility conducted in Japan and implemented computer simulations based on the results of the finite mixtures of…
The Effects of Women's Labor Force Participation: An Explanation of Changes in Household Income Inequality
Some previous studies of the relationship between women's labor force participation and household income inequality indicate that the promotion of the former has an equalizing effect on the latter; other studies insist that the promotion of women's labor force participation has a widening effect on household income inequality by way of the tendency toward assortative marriage. Hence, the relationship between women's labor force participation and …
Social networks of trust based on social values: An explanation of curvilinear relationships between generalized trust and democracy
Analyses of data from the World Values Survey show that generalized trust in highly democratic societies is stable and strong, but it is also strong in highly authoritarian societies. The goal of this study is to specify the mechanism of the relationship between generalized trust and political institutions. I categorize generalized trust as two types: democratic trust and authoritarian trust. When a society features a mixture of democratic and au…
