Research Themes
Study on Rational Choice and Normative Theories
In envisioning a desirable modern society and social systems, it is important to assume, as a “theoretical burden” that people act rationally. I consider, from a theoretical standpoint, the conditions that enable generation of socially desirable consequences of such an assumption.
Study on Social Stratification and Social Psychology
I explain the states of social awareness of people living in Japanese society through quantitative analysis of social survey data. Specifically, I clarify differences in social awareness in terms of social class, educational background, gender and age, and conflicting opinions related to social values, and consider the possibility of reaching agreement. I also attempt to predict future social changes.
Developmet of the Methods and Methodology of Survey Research
Based on knowledge acquired on-site, I develop practical methods and further methodology for the collection of high-quality social survey data, addressing lowered response rates and systems for the protection of personal information. Specifically, I am reviewing methods that will enhance the possibility of international comparison using medium-scale social surveys.
