Abstract

In order to exanmine social and personality factors of the protests against the France's resumption of nuclear testing, we administered a questionnaire to 104 respondents, including those who have participated in the protest movements. A path model based on Ajzen and Fishbein's theory of reasoned action was tested by regression analysis. The results indicated that attitudes toward the protest, subjective norm, perseverance, empathy, and social extraversion positively contributed to the protests, while, inconsistent with the model, an exposure to and trust in mass media and self-exhibition negatively contributed to the protests. Interviews with 25 participants further suggested that their motivation for protests were influenced by their previous experiences of protests and perception of costs.
