Data are analyzed from 1,500 Japanese PO surveys taken since 1945. Trend analyses are made on several issues. Attitudes toward the US were typically more favorable than opposing, but became less so in the late 1960s & 1970s. The Japanese have gained increasing support for public involvement in politics, though adherence to specific parties has declined. Concerns have shifted from the public to the private over this period, with the family being the center of private life. The Emperor's political role has remained strongly supported. Overall results include continuing nationalism, increasing support for democratic politics, increasing orientation to the family & private life, & transformation of social norms regarding personal conduct. 8 Tables.

Public opinion plays a key role in determining what formal and informal protections gay and lesbian teachers have on the job. This study examines 25 years of professional polling data to discern public attitudes regarding lesbians and gay men as elementary, high school, and college teachers. Data from 23 surveys conducted since 1987, covering over 35,000 respondents, is then analyzed to determine how public opinion varies by educational level, year of birth, religion, marital status, region, party identification, sex, and race. Though gay teachers remain controversial, and majority support for elementary school teachers only emerged in the late 1990s, public acceptance has grown steadily, with the growth accelerating in the past decade.

Public opinion can be seen as an integral part of society and is represented by metaphors such as a chorus, voices from the gods, destiny, threatening peer pressure to enforce social norms, and so on. These metaphors and their relation to social organization are fruitful to consider in constructing theories of public opinion. (Abstract amended)
