This survey was conducted to capture evaluations of policies implemented during the spread of COVID-19 and to measure changes in respondents' views after reading opinions representing different positions on the government-imposed restrictions on individual behavior. The survey was designed to enable analysis of the considerations on which people based their evaluations of these policies.
The survey was administered online to registered monitors of INTAGE Research Inc. aged 18 or older and residing throughout Japan, from Friday, October 21, 2022 to Monday, October 24, 2022, yielding 1,770 valid responses.
