When Associate Professor Ryota Sakakibara and Associate Professor Hiroki Ozono of the Faculty of Law and Letters of Kagoshima University investigated people's feelings toward the Tokyo Olympics in a questionnaire survey, people enjoyed the Tokyo Olympics more than expected before the opening and opposed the holding. It turned out that the more people change their minds.
鹿児島大学によると、榊原准教授らは開幕前の7月1日、15日、開催中の8月1日にクラウドソーシングサービスを通じてアンケートを実施、3日間とも回答した全国2,483人（平均年齢47.69歳、男性1,488人、女性965人、その他30人）のデータを分析した。
As a result, in the survey on July 7, 1 people answered "agree", 179 people answered "somewhat agree", 353 people answered "neither", and "somewhat disagree" about the Tokyo Olympics. There were 506 and 619 "opposite".
Furthermore, when asked before and after the opening, "Are you enjoying the Tokyo Olympics," "Are you happy when you win the medal," and "Are you impressed by the performance of the athletes?" I found out that I was there.The range of change was greater for those who opposed the event before the opening.
Associate Professor Sakakibara and his colleagues analyze that positive feelings toward the Tokyo Olympics were underestimated before the opening of the Olympic Games, and that the greater the degree of opposition between the prediction and the actual, the greater the prediction.We hypothesized that negative emotions might be over-predicted, but we also found that they were actually under-predicted.
