The UK figure is almost 20 years old - I wonder if it would show the same result now? I thought the 64% with religious belief seemed quite high - but I suppose it depends what you view as "having a religious belief", as opposed to being a regular attender at a place of worship.
I expect the high percentage of Japanese who only feel good at home reflect the formality and necessity of maintaining status in public life - we feel more able to relax and "let our hair down" in public.

Thanks for your comment.

Yes all of the results above almost 20 years old! Things may have changed.

But you are very young to say that.
It seems to me 20 yrs ago is almost yesterday!

I myself onece conducted a questionnaire suvey.
And I understand that questions should be explained well but at the same time simple and short. Dilemma!

In regard to Q37, your interpretation is possible. An alternative one is that the japanese may have taken the question positively, that is, home is the best place for him/her.

According to the note, they translated the questions back and forth to make sure the translation was right. But still, it seems to me that international questionnaire is difficult.
