  • Populist Attitudes, Conspiracy Beliefs and the Justification of Political Violence at the US 2020 Elections

    Sebastian Jungkunz, Robert A Fahey, Airo Hino

    Political Studies    2024.07

    　View Summary

    The months around the US 2020 presidential election were characterized by polarization, populism, conspiracy theories, and violent acts, far exceeding usual out-party animosity in western democracies. Using an original two-wave panel survey fielded before the election in November 2020 (n = 3111) and after the inauguration in January 2021 (n = 3384), supported with data from the American National Election Study (ANES, n = 3080), we investigate the dynamics of political violence justification and its connection with populist attitudes and conspiracy beliefs. While we find that conspiracy beliefs are associated with higher justification of violence, the relationship with populist attitudes is mixed, and mostly depends on whether people believe in conspiracy theories or not—with populist attitudes being associated with greater political violence justification among those who believe conspiracy theories, while having no or even a negative correlation among those who do not. Finally, results from fixed-effects models provide some evidence for a temporal interpretation of the relationships, indicating that an increase in conspiracy beliefs is strongly and consistently associated with an increased willingness to justify violence.

    　View Summary

    Abstract

    The assassination of former Prime Minister Shinzō Abe in July had an enormous impact on politics in Japan in 2022, with subsequent recriminations regarding connections between ruling party lawmakers and the controversial Unification Church new religious movement leading to public outcry and forcing Prime Minister Kishida to remove several high‐profile Ministers from his Cabinet. There was contentious debate over whether a state funeral should be held for Abe, and a new law was passed restricting the fundraising activities of religious groups like the Unification Church. Meanwhile, Japan continued to slowly roll back restrictions introduced to combat COVID‐19, finally reopening its borders in October. The Russian invasion of Ukraine provoked protest from the Japanese government and contributed, along with a major drop in the value of the yen to the US dollar, to rising consumer prices, with inflation reaching a 42‐year high in October.

  • A Japanese Subjective Well-Being Indicator Based on Twitter Data

    Tiziana CARPI, Airo HINO, Stefano Maria IACUS, Giuseppe PORRO

    Social Science Japan Journal   25 ( 2 ) 273 - 296  2022.09  [Refereed]

    　View Summary

    Abstract

    This study presents for the first time the SWB-J index, a subjective well-being indicator for Japan based on Twitter data. The index is composed by eight dimensions of subjective well-being and is estimated relying on Twitter data by using human supervised sentiment analysis. The index is then compared with the analogous SWB-I index for Italy in order to verify possible analogies and cultural differences. Further, through structural equation models, we investigate the relationship between economic and health conditions of the country and the well-being latent variable and illustrate how this latent dimension affects the SWB-J and SWB-I indicators. It turns out that, as expected, economic and health welfare is only one aspect of the multidimensional well-being that is captured by the Twitter-based indicator.

  • Still valuable? Reconsidering the role of authoritarian values among Japanese voters

    Antonio Benasaglio Berlucchi, Airo Hino

    Japanese Journal of Political Science   23 ( 2 ) 129 - 145  2022.06  [Refereed]

    　View Summary

    Abstract

    The Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) has dominated Japanese politics since its foundation in 1955. The party's ability to support the interests of small farmers and its commitment to the middle-class through redistributive economic policies have been regarded as among the primary factors leading to its prolonged hegemony. Yet, the LDP has occasionally relied on non-economic political appeals addressing rather conservative issues such as Japan's military force and the country's traditional values. These appeals have significantly intensified under the premiership of Junichirō Koizumi and his successor Shinzō Abe, whose authoritative leadership styles and nationalist agendas reveal the relevance of non-economic values. This study focuses on the role of authoritarian values in shaping vote choice in twenty-first century Japan. Previously emphasized in The Japanese Voter, the authority–liberty dimension has gradually lost prominence in recent models of voting behavior, where socio-economic factors have had a central role in explaining vote choice. Our inquiry places new emphasis on this value dimension and provides evidence for the enduring relevance of individual authoritarian dispositions in models of vote choice.

  • Populism in Japan

    Robert A. Fahey, Airo Hino, Robert J. Pekkanen

    The Oxford Handbook of Japanese Politics     316 - 350  2022.01

    　View Summary

    <p>While populism has become a major force in many nations in recent decades, the extent to which the phenomenon is found in Japan’s politics is a contested topic on which scholars have asserted positions ranging from claims that it simply does not exist in Japan, to opposing claims that Japan’s most powerful and influential recent prime ministers have in fact been populists, with various positions in between those extremes also being represented. Some of this contestation arises from different definitions of “populism” that were developed in parallel in Japanese and Western literature, both of which also further differ from the vernacular usage of the term in Japanese political and media discourses. Consequently, scholars following different definitions have drawn quite different conclusions regarding the populist nature of Japanese political actors. This chapter outlines the correspondences and contrasts between the different definitions and uses them to examine claims that prominent contemporary political figures, including former prime ministers Junichiro Koizumi and Shinzō Abe, as well as regional governors Toru Hashimoto, Yuriko Koike, and Takashi Kawamura, have been populists or have utilized populist rhetoric in their campaigns. We find that while overt populism in Japan—at least according to the definitions used internationally—is generally confined to regional politics, national leaders have also displayed proclivity to borrow limited aspects of populist rhetoric and strategy in support of their political campaigns and policy objectives.</p>

  • The Impact of COVID-19 on Subjective Well-Being: Evidence from Twitter Data

    Tiziana Carpi, Airo Hino, Stefano Maria Iacus, Giuseppe Porro

    Journal of Data Science     1 - 20  2022  [Refereed]

    　View Summary

    This study analyzes the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on subjective well-being as measured through Twitter for the countries of Japan and Italy. In the first nine months of 2020, the Twitter indicators dropped by 11.7% for Italy and 8.3% for Japan compared to the last two months of 2019, and even more compared to their historical means. To understand what affected the Twitter mood so strongly, the study considers a pool of potential factors including: climate and air quality data, number of COVID-19 cases and deaths, Facebook COVID-19 and flu-like symptoms global survey data, coronavirus-related Google search data, policy intervention measures, human mobility data, macro economic variables, as well as health and stress proxy variables. This study proposes a framework to analyse and assess the relative impact of these external factors on the dynamic of Twitter mood and further implements a structural model to describe the underlying concept of subjective well-being. It turns out that prolonged mobility restrictions, flu and Covid-like symptoms, economic uncertainty and low levels of quality in social interactions have a negative impact on well-being.

  • How populist attitudes scales fail to capture support for populists in power

    Sebastian Jungkunz, Robert A. Fahey, Airo Hino

    PLOS ONE   16 ( 12 ) e0261658 - e0261658  2021.12  [Refereed]

    　View Summary

    Populist attitudes are generally measured in surveys through three necessary and non-compensatory elements of populism, namely anti-elitism, people-centrism, and Manicheanism. Using Comparative Study of Electoral Systems Module 5 (2016–2020) data for 30 countries, we evaluate whether this approach explains voting for populist parties across countries in Asia, Europe and the Americas. We show that the existing scales of populist attitudes effectively explain voting for populists in countries where populist leaders and parties are in opposition but fail to explain voting for populist parties in countries where they are in power. We argue that current approaches assume “the elite” to mean “politicians”, thus failing to capture attitudes towards “non-political elites” often targeted by populists in office—in particular, journalists, academics/experts, bureaucrats, and corporate business leaders. The results reveal limits to the usefulness of existing survey batteries in cross-national studies of populism and emphasize the need to develop approaches that are more generalizable across political and national contexts.

  • Context Impacts on Confirmation Bias: Evidence From the 2017 Japanese Snap Election Compared with American and German Findings

    Knobloch-Westerwick, S, Liu, L, Hino, A, Westerwick, A, Johnson, B. K

    Human Communication Research    2019.05  [Refereed]

    　View Summary

    Much concern exists about individuals’ tendency to favor attitude-consistent messages (confirmation bias) and the consequences for democracy; yet, empirical evidence is predominantly based on U.S. data and may not apply to other cultural contexts. The current three-session online experimental study unobtrusively observed Japanese participants’ (N = 200) selective exposure to political news articles right before the 2017 Japanese snap general election. The research design paralleled an earlier U.S. study and a German study, which allowed direct comparisons of confirmation biases among the three countries. Japanese exhibited a confirmation bias, but it was smaller than the confirmation bias among Americans, though comparable to that of Germans. The extent of the confirmation bias among Japanese participants was influenced by individual media trust, which provides new insight into causes of these cross-country differences. Attitudinal impacts resulted from selective exposure, in line with message stance, and persisted for two days.

  • Representing the Twittersphere: Archiving a representative sample of Twitter data under resource constraints

    Hino, A, Fahey, R

    International Journal of Information Management   Vol. 48   175 - 184  2019.04  [Refereed]

    　View Summary

    The rising popularity of social media posts, most notably Twitter posts, as a data source for social science research poses significant problems with regard to access to representative, high-quality data for analysis. Cheap, publicly available data such as that obtained from Twitter’s public application programming interfaces is often of low quality, while high-quality data is expensive both financially and computationally. Moreover, data is often available only in real-time, making post-hoc analysis difficult or impossible. We propose and test a methodology for inexpensively creating an archive of Twitter data through population sampling, yielding a database that is highly representative of the targeted user population (in this test case, the entire population of Japanese-language Twitter users). Comparing the tweet volume, keywords, and topics found in our sample data set with the ground truth of Twitter’s full data feed confirmed a very high degree of representativeness in the sample. We conclude that this approach yields a data set that is suitable for a wide range of post-hoc analyses, while remaining cost effective and accessible to a wide range of researchers.

  • Ranking and Rating: Neglected Biases in Factor Analysis of Postmaterialist Values

    Airo Hino, Ryosuke Imai

    International Journal of Public Opinion Research   31 ( 2 ) 368 - 381  2019  [Refereed]

    　View Summary

    © 2018 The Author(s). The pros and cons of ranking and rating scales have been much discussed. It is widely accepted that factor analysis based on ranking scales suffers from a negativity bias, while that based on rating scales in turn suffers from a positivity bias. Recent decades have witnessed an increasing sophistication in techniques of neutralizing these biases in factor analysis. Using data from an experimental survey of postmaterialist values conducted in Japan, we applied these techniques and compared the dimensions extracted using ranking and rating scales. The results suggest that the postmaterialist and materialist dimensions are in fact positively correlated, in contrast to the common view that they are opposed to each other. Implications for postmaterialist theory are discussed.

    Curini, Luigi, Hino, Airo, Osaki, Atsushi

    Government and Opposition    2018.07  [Refereed]

    　View Summary

    Through the analysis of legislative speeches made by prime ministers and party representatives in parliamentary sessions in Japan from 1953 to 2013, we argue that it is possible to place parties according to a dimension that captures their confrontational nature within a parliamentary democracy and its evolution over time. Using this dimension extracted via a well-known scaling algorithm (Wordfish), we develop an index of the intensity of the government–opposition divide that is directly related to the dynamics of the electoral cycle of Japanese politics. We then show how this new index greatly facilitates the investigation of two important aspects of Japanese legislative politics (the survival rate of governments and the speed of passage of cabinet bills) compared to a situation in which we focus on more traditional measures capturing the ideological position of the parties alone.

    　View Summary

    In this article, we propose a new index, named RQI (Reasoning Quality Index), to analyze the extent to which respondents in surveys ‘deliberate within’. The index measures the degree in which a preferred choice by respondents is grounded by their related attitudes coherently and accurately. Our experimental study with the existing index of Argument Repertoire (AR) and ‘perspective-taking’ batteries demonstrates that RQI validly taps the reasoning process of deliberations.

  • The Status-quo and Challenges of CAI Surveys in Political Science::Comparisons of Waseda-CASI Surveys and Official Election Results

    Aiji Tanaka, Airo Hino

    Sociological Theory and Methods   30 ( 2 ) 201 - 224  2015  [Refereed]

    　View Summary

    In this paper, we illustrate how CAI surveys in political science have developed in the context of election studies, in particular, how CASI (Computer Assisted Self-administered Interviews) surveys have been applied to election studies in Japan. We then argue that various advantages exist for a survey mode of CASI, ranging from a quick data output, randomization and customization of questions and response choices, recording response time, implementation of survey experiments, mitigating social desirability bias, and to high representativeness. At the same time, we reckon two disadvantages of CASI, which are a lower response rate and a higher cost than other survey modes. To examine if a lower response rate really undermines a representativeness of data collected by CASI, we constructed a database of 79 post-election surveys conducted in Japan. Our analyses demonstrated that a lower response rate does not necessarily increase a turnout bias, i.e. a gap between an estimated turnout in surveys and the actual turnout at an election. Our analyses also con rmed that a lower response rate neither increases a vote percentage bias, i.e. a gap between estimated percentages of votes garnered by political parties and the of cial election results. Among the several survey modes, CASI appears to be closest to the actual electoral records. The concerns over a higher cost of CAI remain but its advantages seem to be not only theoretically assured but also empirically grounded.

    Luigi Curini, Airo Hino

    JOURNAL OF POLITICS   74 ( 2 ) 460 - 473  2012.04  [Refereed]

    　View Summary

    This article aims to understand the determinants of party-system polarization by moving beyond the (almost exclusive) emphasis placed in the literature on the role of the electoral system and the number of parties. We propose a larger menu of explanatory variables that includes both institutional and voters-related factors. Regarding the institutional factors, we highlight the consequences of expectations of coalition formations as well as office-related elections (e.g., Presidential ones) on party-system convergence in legislative elections. For the voters-related factors, we address the importance of specific characteristics of the electorate following insights from the spatial theory of voting. To test our hypotheses, we use survey data covering 33 nations and 67 elections. While hypotheses derived from electoral systems and number of parties find little empirical support, the new variables that we consider involving institutions and voters matter significantly.

  • Second-ordering the Upper House Election in Japan

    IMAI Ryosuke, HINO Airo

    Japanese Journal of Electoral Studies   27 ( 2 ) 5 - 19  2012  [Invited]

    　View Summary

    The article applies the second-order election model developed in Europe to the bicameral contexts in Japan where elections are held in different electoral cycles. By analyzing both the Lower House and Upper House elections held in 2009 and 2010, the article finds that some if not all Japanese voters indeed differentiate the importance of the Lower House (i.e. first-order) election and the Upper House (i.e. second-order) election. The article further demonstrates that this 'importance of elections' variable is related to the ways in which voters' evaluation of government performance affects the voting behavior at both Lower House election in 2009 and Upper House election in 2010. Applying the second-order election model to Japan not only contributes to the further understanding of the behavior of Japanese voters but also develops the second-order election model in national contexts.

  • The Mechanical and Psychological Effects of Electoral Systems: A Quasi-Experimental Study

    　View Summary

    Having two votes for the same election or two simultaneous elections with different electoral systems provides a golden opportunity to ascertain the impact of the electoral system and to sort out the relative magnitude of mechanical and psychological effects on parties and voters. The authors propose a new methodology for estimating such effects and apply that methodology to 13 elections, 9 in Switzerland and 4 in Japan. The authors find mechanical effects to dominate in half of the elections examined, most particularly in the more recent Swiss elections. They discuss the implications of these findings.

  • Censored and hurdle regression models in TSCS data: Electoral support for extreme right parties in 19 West European democracies

    Airo Hino

    選挙研究   26 ( 1 ) 88 - 101  2010.06  [Invited]

    　View Summary

    The article examines why extreme right parties are successful in some elections while not in others by analyzing the elections held in 19 West European democracies from 1970 to 2000. To that end, the article discusses the methodological limitations that arise from applying the Tobit and the decomposed Tobit model (Cragg's model) to the Time-Series and Cross-Sectional (TSCS) data. The Tobit model in the presence of fixed effects is known to be biased and inconsistent due to the so-called 'incidental parameter problem'. The article first reviews the possible remedies for the incidental parameter problem, including the conditional frequentist, semi-parametric, and Bayesian approaches, proposed in the econometric literature. While discussing the alternative approaches to cope with the incidental parameter problem, the article pursues an approach to decompose the Tobit model and overviews the Cragg's model and its application to the TSCS data. To demonstrate the Tobit and Cragg's model in the TSCS analyses, the analysis of the vote share of extreme right parties in the extant literature is replicated. The re-analysis of the vote share suggests that the Cragg's model can further improve the Tobit model usually applied in the literature.

    Airo Hino

    Sociological Theory and Methods   24 ( 2 ) 247 - 265  2009.12  [Refereed]  [Invited]

    　View Summary

    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Recent years have witnessed increasing interests in integrating temporality into Boolean analysis or Qualitative Comparative Analysis (hereafter QCA). Despite the rapid development of the Boolean method and the extensive application, QCA had been often criticized for its static nature and limitations in analyzing a dynamic process of temporal changes. This article joins the recent efforts in the literature and argues that temporal changes can be analyzed using the existing QCA methods. The article first reviews the existing work on temporal QCA (hereafter TQCA) in a broader context of analyzing temporality in the Boolean method. It then proposes different techniques to analyze dynamic processes of temporal changes through Boolean analysis by incorporating time-series variations into QCA (hereafter TS/QCA), which take sub-forms of Pooled QCA, Fixed Effects QCA, and Time Differencing QCA. Lastly, it maps various types of &ldquo;QCA families&ldquo; in a typological framework and discusses the challenges that TQCA and TS/QCA face and suggest future directions of methodological innovations.

  • Voting behavior in the European Parliamentary Election: The Belgian case in 1994

    Airo Hino

    選挙研究   20   148 - 158  2005.03  [Refereed]

    　View Summary

    This article examines the patterns of voting behavior in the European Parliamentary Election through the European Election Study surveys. It has been widely argued that the voting behavior in the "Euro Elections" is merely a reflection of national politics. However, the analyses based on the Belgian case in this article revealed that voting orientations in the 1994 European Parliamentary Election were composed of voting orientations towards 'regionalist parties', 'anti-immigrant and anti-EU parties', and 'left parties'. Furthermore, it became clear that the voting orientation for regionalist parties had a 'pro-European' affinity, while the voting orientation for anti-immigrant parties is closely linked with an 'anti-European' message. These findings suggest that the voting behavior in the European Parliamentary Elections needs to be analyzed not only in the 'national' level, but also in the 'regional' and 'European' level.

    　View Summary

    We designed and carried out national survey via face-to-face mode after the general election in 2017. The Japanese version of the dataset is released at the SSJ Data Archive at University of Tokyo, and the English version is on cses.org as a part of cross-national dataset.
    Our key finding are below; 1) growing income inequality may challenge the legitimacy of democratic elections; 2) the existing scales of populist attitudes effectively explain voting for populists in countries where populist leaders and parties are in opposition but fail to explain voting for populist parties in countries where they are in power: 3) individual authoritarian dispositions still contributes to the vote choice for the Liberal Democratic Party.

    　View Summary

    In pursuit of the goal of uncovering what values, cultures, and institutional contexts Japanese and other Asian citizens operate in and how they think and behave consistently with those values, cultures, and contexts, we conducted the fifth wave of the Asian Barometer Survey in Japan in 2019 for the purpose of international comparison. We obtained 5 waves of time-series international comparative data in East and South East Asia for the first 20 years of the 21st century (total 50 national surveys). In working with ABS international team, the results of the study show a strong commitment to democracy as well as a decline in political involvement among the Japanese, and the relevance of this to the changing values of "Asian" vertical social relations are to be examined in detail.

    　View Summary

    The aim of this project is to collect party manifestos in Japan longitudinally and to estimate party positions based on their texts using relevant scaling methods. To this end, party manifestos in digital form and its texts are archived for future public use. Party positions estimated based on text data are largely similar to those available from existing data such as the Comparative Manifestos Project and expert surveys but also yield a slightly different picture that needs to be further studied.

    　View Summary

    We empirically compared Computer-Assisted Self-administered Interview (CASI) based on deliberation within himself/herself with Mini-Publics (MP) based on deliberation with other people, CASI is preferable because it guarantees representativeness of sample better and costs less. However, this research project also found that deliberation within himself/herself was not as effective as deliberation with other people in some aspects of attitudes. For example, when a respondent wrongly believed incorrect information to be true, only deliberation with other people can correct his/her wrong concept. Therefore, we now know that each of CASI and MP has its own merit, and it would be premature to conclude that one method is better than the other.

    　View Summary

    This study aims to establish a historical database of party manifestos in Japan and to estimate their policy positions by applying various coding techniques. Party manifestos are valuable resources for the studies of political parties and in particular for empirically observing their policy positions. Yet, there have been only limited attempts to archive them in a systematic manner and to analyse them by applying various computer-assisted coding techniques developed in the recent years. This study attempts to fill this lacuna by collecting the past manifestos where possible and discussing how various coding techniques can help us understand the policy positions of political parties in Japan

    　View Summary

    The main purposes of this research project are 1) to reveal the policy preference of Japanese voters and candidates, and 2) to create a new political spectrum among voters. To achieve our goals, we conducted focus group interviews, web-based surveys, and web-based experiments in 2012 general election and 2013 House of Councilors election. The analysis provides the following results. Firstly, Today’s Japanese voters are classified into 5 groups. Voters who belong the largest group (about 27% of Japanese voters) prefer the restart of nuclear power stations, Japan’s participation in TPP, and expanding public works. Secondly, Ideologies such as “Liberals-Conservatives” or “Big government-Small government” have relatively few effect on the classification of voters

  • New challenger parties in Western Europe: A comparative analysis

    Airo Hino

    New Challenger Parties in Western Europe: A Comparative Analysis     1 - 285  2012

    　View Summary

    This book provides a systematic and comparative account of the rise of 'new challenger parties' across Western Europe. It analyses how parties that challenge the conventional party system by addressing issues neglected by existing parties can succeed and fail. Systematically comparing 229 elections since 1950 across 15 European democracies, including the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, the Benelux and Scandinavian countries, this book questions why new challenger parties are more successful in some countries than others, and analyses the conditions that determine their emergence and subsequent success or failure. As one of the first systematic and comparative examinations of new challenger parties, this book looks at both new politics parties and extreme-right parties, and the structures to aid their emergence at the time of an election. Identifying two distinctive stages of party development, the author adopts a 'double-hurdle' model involving, first, the chances of emergence, and second, sustained success. This framework, in combination with a wide-range of empirical data, provides for an innovative and insightful analysis of a neglected topic. New Challenger Parties in Western Europe will be of interest to students and scholars of government, comparative politics and political parties. © 2012 Airo Hino. All rights reserved.

  • 新興政党の台頭と有権者のポピュリスト的態度

    2022   Robert Fahey

    　View Summary

    　本研究は、新興政党の台頭と有権者のポピュリスト的態度との関連を明らかにすることを目的とする。これまでの研究は、権力を持つ腐敗した政治家に対抗する反体制的（anti-establishment）な民衆に視点を置いたものが多かったが、ポピュリスト勢力が権力を掌握した際に新たに標的とされる官僚、ジャーナリスト、学者、大企業の経営者等の多様な「エリート」には十分に光が当てられてこなかった。本研究は、政治家をエリートと同義として構築されてきた民衆のポピュリスト的態度を測定する指標に、非政治的エリート（non-political elite）の項目を追加して新尺度を考案する等、国際的な学術的貢献をなすことを目指す。コロナ禍の影響もあり、2022年度に調査会社が所有する該当する国々のサンプルを対象に、ウェブ調査を行う予定である。
