项目摘要

Subjects of the study were international children born to parents one of whom had Japanese nationality and the other American. A pilot study was undertaken in 1985-1986, and the current project (1990-1991) was a larger-scale study targeting the same group.The study method, like that of the pilot study, involved the distribution and colleciton of a questionnaire in American and Japan, limited interviews of children in Okinawa and Sapporo, and a mini-symposium held in Tokyo. While the pilot study collected only 79 usable questionnaires, the second-stage study obtained 237 (Japan 71, US 166), thanks to the assistance of three helpers in different locations in America.Japan's revised nationality law requires the holders of dual nationality to choose one or the other by their 21st year. The current study asked participants, regardless of age, which of their nationalities they would choose if this were the point at which they must make a decision. In addition, they were asked a series of questions designed to clarify which factors affect their choice.Cross tables of identified factors revealed cross effects among the following : 1) current nationality 2) length of residence 3) present location 4) language spoken to father 5) language spoken to mother 6) principal language 7) second language 8) cultural partiality 9) behavioral tendencies 10) mother's current nationality.One aspect of the need to choose a nationality that was brought out by the interviews and symposium was the relative ease of choice for some respondents (mostly in the US) and difficulty of choice for others (mostly in Japan). One interesting result of the study was the close similarity between the factors most strongly influencing the choice of nationality in the first and second studies. Detailed statistical analysis will follow at a later data.

该研究的对象是父母所生的国际儿童，其中一人是日本国籍，另一人是美国人。 1985-1986年进行了一项试点研究，当前的项目（1990-1991年）是针对同一群体的更大规模的研究。研究方法与试点研究相同，包括在美国和日本，对冲绳和札幌儿童的有限采访，以及在东京举行的小型研讨会。试点研究仅收集了 79 份可用问卷，第二阶段研究在美国不同地点的三名助手的协助下，获得了 237 份（日本 71 份，美国 166 份）。日本修改国籍法要求双重国籍持有者选择到了 21 岁时，他们会选择其中之一。目前的研究询问参与者，无论年龄大小，如果这是他们必须做出决定的时刻，他们会选择哪个国籍。此外，他们还被问了一系列问题，旨在澄清哪些因素影响他们的选择。已确定因素的交叉表显示了以下因素之间的交叉影响：1) 当前国籍 2) 居住时间长短 3) 目前所在位置 4) 与父亲所说的语言5) 与母亲所说的语言 6) 主要语言 7) 第二语言 8) 文化偏好 9) 行为倾向 10) 母亲目前的国籍。面谈中提出了需要选择国籍的一个方面研讨会的结果是，对于一些受访者（主要在美国）来说，选择相对容易，而对于其他受访者（主要在日本）来说，选择相对困难。该研究的一个有趣的结果是，第一项和第二项研究中影响国籍选择最强烈的因素之间非常相似。详细的统计分析将在稍后的数据中进行。
