Summary View help for Summary
The JABISS study was a nationwide sample survey conducted in Japan as a two-wave panel: before and after the 1976 Japanese House of Representatives election. The pre-election survey queried Japanese respondents about political disaffection, importance and performance issues, party support, group and leader affect, political participation and compliance attitudes, candidate support, social interaction, group memberships and political support, attitudes toward the February 1976 Lockheed incident, and respondent and household demographic and background information. Demographic variables include gender, age, marital status, income, religious preference, and highest level of education. The post-election survey asked respondents about mass media exposure and its effects during the campaign, informal campaign communications, political involvement, party perceptions and identification, candidate contacts and perceptions, the 1976 vote and past vote records, issue attitudes, quality of life, and cultural values. The name, "JABISS," is derived from the names of the Japanese-American group of five scholars who conducted the Japanese Election Study: "J" for Japan and Joji Watanuki, "A" for America, "B" for Bradley Richardson, "I" for Ichiro Miyake, "S" for Scott Flanagan, and "S" for Shinsaku Kohei.
