      abstract = {This book first presents an overview of the history of a  national character survey by the Institute of Statistical  Mathematics that has been conducted for more than 65 years.  The Japanese National Character Survey, launched in 1953,  is a rare longitudinal survey in the world of survey  research based on rigorous statistical sampling theory,  motivating other countries to launch similar longitudinal  surveys, including the General Social Survey (GSS), the  Allgemeine Bevölkerungsumfrage der Sozialwissenschaften  (ALLBUS, German General Social Survey (GGSS)),  Eurobarometer, and others. Since the early 1970s, the  Japanese survey has been extended as a cross-national  survey for more advanced research of the Japanese national  character in a comparative context. Second, the book  explains the paradigm of cross-national studies called the  Cultural Manifold Analysis (CULMAN), developed in the  longitudinal and cross-national surveys, with practical  examples of analysis. This explanation will help helps a  wide range of readers to better understand the  cross-national comparative surveys of attitudes, opinion,  and social values as basic information for evidence-based  policymaking and research.},
