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.
