JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThis paper attempts to study the power structure of “S-Rengo-Chonaikai”, a suburban ward association in Sapporo city, Japan from 1955 to 1983. The community power structure is analyzed mainly through the issue-approach together with the positional and reputational methods.
Through this analysis, the followings are made clear. As the community becomes increasingly involved and interrelated in the large societal complex, the differentiation of leadership is notable, and the function of this Rengo-chonaikai is reduced. But the older pattern of leadership (the control of the old middle class) is still dominant. The leaders of the land-based elite tie up with new business ones and they keep their influence by the control of new power resources such as “land”, “network”, and “communication”. For they play central roles in solving urban facility problems (road maintenance, water service, school, etc.). Thus, they keep their vested interests, while they give contentment to new residents. In short, their position and influence are maintained by the balance of power between the land-based elite and the new-commers.View full abstractDownload PDF (2546K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe big social change toward levelling and equalizaton in the social stratification in postwar Japan is first referred as a general background, and then the presentation of results of empirical data analysis of status inconsistency trends based upon the Japanese 1955, 1965 and 1975 national surveys on Social Stratification and Mobility follows as the main part.
Status inconsistency among three status varilables of education, occupational prestige and income is analyzed using two parallel methods : (1) status inconsistency score analysis and (2) cluster analysis.
The central research findings are : (1) that the degree of status inconsistency has consistently increased in these twenty years, whichever method of analysis is used; (2) that according to the result of cluster analysis, the part of status inconsistency is bigger than that of status consistency in the Japanese society and the former has been consistently growing in these twenty years; (3) that the social attitude, such as subjective strata identification and political party support, of status inconsistent part stands generally in the middle between the two extremes of the high-consistent group and the low-consistent group. Lenski's thesis that status inconsistency generates frustration and anger and stimulates identification with progressive political parties cannot be supported by Japanese data.
Authors interpret that status inconsistency is not an abnormal and unhealthy state, but rather an ordinary and natural state in highly industrialized and modernized societies, and that it is one of the important factors in realizing levelling and equalization in such societies.View full abstractDownload PDF (2958K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSSocial classes are central categories in the sociological studies of macroscopic social structure and processes. But, with the exception of a few studies, they have not been used in quantitative studies. The purposes of this paper are (1) to provide systematic categories of social classes which are available to quantitative study, and then (2) to make quantitative analyses of modern Japanese society based upon these categories, which include problems of class determination, inequalities of income and social consciousness. Findings are as follows : (1) important factors which determine one's class location are class origin and educational qualification, but their relative importance is different according to class locations. Class origin is more important to occupy capitalist and old middle class locations, and educational qualification is more important to occupy working class location and new middle location. (2) Difference of class location generate substantial income inequalities which cannot be reduced to differences of educational qualification or occupational status. Still more, effects of educational qualification and age differ in each class location. (3) Social classes are important grounds in which common social consciousness is formed.View full abstractDownload PDF (2366K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESS1 The purpose of the study
The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between having authoritarian personality and being a housewife living in a situation together with old parents.
2 Sampling
The respondents were the wives of men aged between 26 and 65 years living in the Kanto area. They were drawn through a random probability sampling method. The 418 respondents represented a 80.2% completion rate of the original sample. Some 74 respondents lived with their husband's parent (s) and 20 lived with their own parents.
3 Analysis
From the initial comparison of average authoritarian scores we can conclude that housewives who live or had lived with husband's parent (s) are more authoritarian than those who had not. The next question is the correlation is spurious or not. We examined whether living with old parent (s) had a direct effect on authoritarian personality using path analyses.
The findings of these analyses show that to live together with husband's parents has independent direct effect on authoritarian personality.
4 Discussion and Conclusion
But still we have many things left to elaborate in these relationships. There is some possibility that more authoritarian women accept to marry with eldest sons and tend to live with husband's parents. This means wife's personality is not the result of living together with husband's parents but the cause of it. As for the claims that Japan is a society in which conformity and obedience to authority are characteristic norms, we can conclude that patri-lineal families are playing some part in reproducing these values.View full abstractDownload PDF (1926K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSIn these about ten years, some important contributions have been made by log-linear models (LLM) in the context of mobility tables. However, there are some ambiguous aspects in models themselves as well as results proposed by them.One of the most important question is whether log-linear models can really control for structural mobility, which is defined as marginal descrepancies.
In the first place, this paper attempt to show that the question above can be specified as follows :
Independent Model
_↔_Circulation Mobility does not exist
Because in LLM, “Circulation Mobility” should correspond to deviation of the frequency distribution from an independent model. It will be shown that the proposition above is fault.
However, we can understand marginal effects in LLM as “Structural Mobility” under the following two senses.
1) Marginal effects measure the effect of category size and its change.
2) We can understand such effects as a external condition, that is, as a “force” which enforces mobility structurally.
Now the problem should be that what means these two different definitions can propose for the concept of “Structural Mobility”. For example, under these definitions, are structural mobility and circulation mobility regulated by some different principles (i.e. stratification structure) ?View full abstractDownload PDF (1152K) -
