한국과 일본의 탈물질주의

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This research compares, within two different contexts, South Korea and Japan in their patterns of social and values changes. First, the processes of industrialization, urbanization, increased education, and individualism are analyzed using statistical data to calculate the correlation between modernization and change of values. Second, the spread of post-materialist values, such as a positive self-concept, self-realization, self-expression, and the change of values between generations are analyzed using empirical survey data.
It has been found that the emergence and spread of post-materialist values in the late 70’s (Japan) and the early 90’s (South Korea) correlates positively with each nation’s change in liberal attitudes. However, this relation has been thrown off-balance over the recent 10 years. The curves of value change in the two societies have become static and the shape of the changes differs from that of Western societies. The causes of this stem from the two societies’ Confucian culture and historical characteristics. Comparing the two societies, the variance in the value shift of Korean people is much larger and a lot faster than Japan’s. It became clear that the main factors in this are the transitional state of Korean society, its greater international mobility, higher education levels, and stronger reaction against Confucianism.
