Abstract:
This study investigated Japanese university students' attitudes about 
the Fukushima nuclear accident and the relations between their attitudes
 and their opinions about post-disaster reconstruction policies. Gender 
and geographical differences were also examined. Attitude components 
were identified, including nuclear power plant efficiency, trust in 
institutions, and fear of radioactive contamination. Results revealed 
that men reported higher perceived nuclear power plant efficiency than 
women did, whereas women showed slightly higher fear of radioactive 
contamination than men did. Students in Miyagi had higher levels of 
trust in institutions than students in Tokyo did. Controlling for the 
effects of gender and geographical differences, fear of radioactive 
contamination was revealed as a predictor of opinions about 
post-disaster policies. In contrast, the cognitive components of 
attitudes did not predict the opinions.
