| Summary |
This survey was conducted by the NHK Broadcasting Culture Research Institute in November 2012. The NHK Broadcasting Culture Research Institute has been conducting national opinion polls every 10 years since 1982. Based on the previous surveys, the purpose of this survey was to characterize long-term changes and clarify how the media environment, which has changed significantly in the last 10 years, affects TV viewing. . This survey was a self-administered survey, and, at the same time, interview method was used at reduced scale (2,094 people) to do a time-series comparison (data generated by the interview method are not provided). For the self-administered survey, an analysis to explore the background of the changes captured by the interview survey was conducted. The study was designed to highlight the two viewing styles that have become particularly common in the last 10 years. The first is "customized viewing," in which viewers watch TV on their own, and the second is "connected viewing," in which viewers watch TV while communicating with people. This survey investigated the realities regarding these two viewing styles and approaches to the structure of modern viewership. |
