| Summary |
The Japanese Association for Sex Education was commissioned by the Juvenile Problems Section in the Prime Minister’s Office to conduct the planning, research implementation, and analysis of this survey. The primary objective was to conduct a re-survey with the same scale and question items as the “Survey of sexual behavior among young people” conducted by the Japanese Association for Sex Education in 1974, under commission from the Prime Minister’s Office, and to clarify the sexual development and successive changes in sexual behavior. The second objective was to clarify the relationship between sexual development and sexual behavior and its main determining factors, such as growing, home environment, and social and cultural factors. |
