Abstract
This paper attempts to study the hypothesis of youth and dissent.
There are two hypotheses of youth and dissent. One is socialism movement hypothesis, the other is new social movement hypothesis.
And I use psychohistorical approach and examine the case of Tokyo university and conclude.
First, socialism movement hypothesis is very strong, and there were strong fidelity to socialism movement among the activists.
Second, new social movement hypothesis is weak, and there were Identity crisis among youth.
Third, at that time Japanese sociey is not post-industrial society and there were political crisis among advanced society.
So dissent in Japan is most socialism movement, but in several universities there are the first type of new social movement.
