Abstract

This study attempted to disclose social factors influencing public responses to the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan. To achieve this objective, it employed data obtained from the nationally representative random-sampling-based mail survey, the Public Opinion Poll on Internationalization and Citizens' Political Participation 2021. We utilized four items to determine opinions reported on COVID-19 : faith in the government's COVID-19 subcommittee, fear of COVID-19 infection, support for the government's restrictions, and accusations against people refusing to follow the government's requests to stay home. Our results revealed almost no differences in socio-demographic characteristics, political attitudes, and values in Japan vis-à-vis most views expressed on COVID-19.
