Emergence of class awareness: Text analysis of reports from simulated society game participants
In recent years, the gap between the rich and the poor has widened, and polarization of public opinion has been observed worldwide. Is there a possibility that such disparity will lead to the fixation of awareness for economic status? If so, how would the difference be identified through text analysis? This study used text analysis of post-game reports of participants in a Simulated International Society Game, a participatory social simulation ta…
Preventing riverside littering through structural change: An action research field experiment using two intervention measures
Urgent action is required to develop effective interventions for the prevention of littering with the increase in the severity of marine plastic pollution. This study employs action research and conducted a field experiment along a riverside to evaluate the impact of interventions on littering. Action research, which involves collaboration with stakeholders, is essential for effective interventions due to the valuable local knowledge of stakehold…
An Effect of Storytelling on Attitude Changes in Deliberative Mini-Publics
This study aims to explore the relationship between opinion changes and the quality of deliberation in deliberative polls, focusing on the impact of storytelling. Deliberative mini-publics have gained considerable attention as a form of deliberative democracy. While deliberative democracy emphasises the importance of changing participants’ preferences through rational discourse, the existence of a link between opinion changes and deliberation qua…
Public acceptance of nuclear waste disposal sites: A decision-making process utilising the ‘veil of ignorance’ concept
This study demonstrates that a decision-making process utilising ‘the veil of ignorance’ concept, defined in process terms as beginning from a blank slate encompassing the entire country as potential sites and shortlisting candidate sites based on scientific (geological) safety, promotes public acceptance of siting a repository for the geological disposal of high-level radioactive waste and fosters procedural fairness. A hypothetical scenario exp…
Determinants of Interdependent Happiness Focusing on the Role of Social Capital: Empirical Insight From Japan 1
This study aimed to identify determinants of interdependent happiness (IH), with a focus on social capital resources. Using data from a population survey conducted in Sapporo, Japan, we ran hierarchical regressions to compare determinants of IH with determinants of a standard measure of subjective well‐being (SWB), the Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS). While we confirmed the relationships of control variables generally associated with SWB also…
Public acceptance model for siting a repository of radioactive contaminated waste
The disposal of designated radioactive contaminated waste resulting from the Fukushima nuclear accident is a primary issue in Japan. However, residents often strongly oppose siting a repository of designated waste; therefore, a possible site remains undecided. The NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard) aspect, whereby people refuse to build a repository in their hometown, has led to strong opposition. This study examined a public acceptance model for the si…
Do Self‐sanctioning and Outsider Intervention Instill Trust in the Information Disclosure Process
This study explored two questions: 1) what kind of method for instilling trust is evaluated to be important by the general public and 2) who is considered as a legitimate third party, when administrators and organizations go through an information disclosure process. We hypothesized that voluntary declaration of self-sanctions, before an issue becomes public, would be important in instilling trust as well as the intervention of outsiders. Further…
Why do residents accept a demanding rule: Fairness and social benefit as determinants of approval of a recycling system 1,2
This study examined why people accepted a demanding rule in a recycling system that was newly introduced in Nagoya City. We focused on two social psychological topics: social dilemmas and fairness. While the new system succeeded in reducing waste, it imposed a burden on citizens without providing incentives and sanctions. In a research survey, 1442 responses from a sample of 3000 (48% response rate) were obtained using a stratified sampling metho…
