Large-scale and long-running time series observation of people

The chronological lifestyle survey on the Japanese people, which the Institute has conducted every second year since 1992, enables time series observation of sei-katsu-sha through a broad-ranging survey that includes around 1,400 items covering their recent sentiments, attitudes to life, views toward society and more. The results of this research can be viewed on the Japanese language Seikatsu Teiten website in various ways, including by category, by graph and by target.

・ Contains easy-to-use automatic time-series graph creation and keyword search functions
・ Supports changing longitudinal axes and creating graphs with multiple items selected
For instance, “Money” scored higher than “Love” in response to the question “What do you believe in?” for the first time in 2014. Creating a graph with these two items selected shows that the gap between “Money” and “Love” gradually narrowed until eventually “Money” took the lead.
