During the three years of the coronavirus pandemic, Osaka University found that among Japanese people, the lower the awareness that the infection was their own fault, the weaker their awareness of restricting their actions, and the higher the awareness of restricting their actions, the stronger the sense of self-blame. Project Professor Michio Murakami of the Center for Comprehensive Education and Research on Infectious Diseases, Professor Asako Miura of the Graduate School of Human Sciences, Osaka University, Professor Kai Hiraishi of the Faculty of Letters, Keio University, Assistant Professor Meio Yamagata of the Faculty of Culture and Information Studies, Doshisha University, and Faculty of Health Sciences, Hiroshima Shudo University. This was discovered through research by Professor Daisuke Nakanishi and colleagues.
大阪大学によると、研究グループは日本、米国、英国、イタリア、中国の5カ国で18歳以上の市民を対象とするアンケート調査を2020～2022年に計3回実施、自業自得感と行動制限意識の関係や経年変化を調べた。アンケートに少なくとも1回以上答えた市民は、日本775人、米国921人、英国761人、イタリア969人、中国1,299人だった。
The results showed that the sense of self-worth was high in Japan and low in the UK.In four countries except China, it has increased from 4 to 2020.Awareness of behavioral restrictions was high in China and low in Japan.It will decline in Japan from 2021 to 2020, and in the US, UK, and Italy from 2021 to 2020.
When the research group analyzed the responses from Japan and Italy, where a positive relationship was found between a sense of self-worth and a sense of behavioral restriction, it was found that those with a low sense of self-worth gradually weakened in their sense of behavioral restriction; It was confirmed in both countries that people with high incomes have a stronger sense of self-worth.
