      As the Internet has diffused in society and penetrated into social daily life, growing attention has been paid to the relation between general social trust and the Internet use and behavior by researchers and policy-makers. So, many studies have been conducted; and yet, few conclusive relations have been found out so far. When it comes to the study of general social trust, the argument by Yamagishi (1998) is the most influential and most studies to pursue its relation to the Internet use rely on it. Yamagishi distinguishes trust from assurance and put them in opposition. In this paper, we a...

      As the Internet has diffused in society and penetrated into social daily life, growing attention has been paid to the relation between general social trust and the Internet use and behavior by researchers and policy-makers. So, many studies have been conducted; and yet, few conclusive relations have been found out so far. When it comes to the study of general social trust, the argument by Yamagishi (1998) is the most influential and most studies to pursue its relation to the Internet use rely on it. Yamagishi distinguishes trust from assurance and put them in opposition. In this paper, we adopt UAI, uncertainty avoidance index, proposed by Hofstede (1980, 1991), as the measure of assurance; besides, we take UAI not as in opposition to trust but as an independent dimension. Then we set forth an analytical framework with general social trust and UAI combined and try to find out the relation between different patterns of the Internet use and behavior and the framework. For example, we set up a hypothesis that those who are of low level of general social trust and of high level of UAI are inclined to detach themselves from involvement in social activities in the Internet and that they get access to anonymous BBS more frequently than the other types. The empirical examination supports the validity of our framework, especially, the analytical power of UAI to study different Internet use and behavior.

    • A Comparative Study on Privacy Concerns

      Grant amount:\2730000 ( Direct Cost: \2100000 、 Indirect Cost:\630000 )

      Based on an awareness of the problem that trust in the Internet among Japanese may be low internationally, the purpose of this study was to examine factors contributing to this low level of trust and the impact of this low level of trust on Internet behavior. The results of the questionnaire survey conducted in Japan and Taiwan showed that, contrary to initial expectations, trust in the Internet is lower in Taiwan than in Japan. In addition, privacy awareness was stronger in Taiwan for most of the items. There was no significant correlation between privacy awareness and the level of trust in the Internet. However, the results of the mediation analysis supported the hypothesis that relational mobility mediates the effects of country differences on Internet trust.

    • The Information Behavior of the Japanese: Examination on It's Change for 25 Years and the Issues in Aging Society

      Grant amount:\34060000 ( Direct Cost: \26200000 、 Indirect Cost:\7860000 )

      Since 1995, we have conducted surveys of Japanese information behavior every five years. In 2020 we made 6th survey.This survey consists of a diary survey and a questionnaire survey, which measures TV viewing time and Internet usage time and analyze change over time. In addition, from the questionnaire survey, it is possible to know the changes in the Internet usage rate, the SNS usage rate, the reliable information source, and the importance rating of the information source.
      As a result of the survey, the data confirmed that the TV viewing time has decreased, especially among young people, in the last 25 years, and the Internet usage time has increased since 2000. However, the 2020 survey was conducted under covid-19 situation, and the time spent at home increased, resulting in a slight increase in TV viewing time.

      Grant amount:\15730000 ( Direct Cost: \12100000 、 Indirect Cost:\3630000 )

      The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of age, period, and cohort on contemporary Japanese information behavior. We conducted a survey on Japanese information behavior in 2015. Also in 2015, we analyzed this data against data from 2005 and 2010. The results suggest that age and cohort had significant effects on the time spent viewing television, but that the period had no significant effect. In addition, the results suggest that while there was significant increase indicated in the period from 2005 to 2010 with respect to time spent engaged in internet use on a personal computer (PC), there was also a significant cohort effect and period effect corresponding with a consistent increase in time spent engaged in mobile internet use.
