問題１ 次の英文の要約を 200 字以内の日本語で書きなさい。

Japanese people have taken to wearing face masks during the pandemic,
but the main reason for doing so has more to do with going along with others
than preventing the coronavirus from spreading, a new study says.
Peer pressure emerged as the dominant factor for wearing face masks amid
the health crisis in Japan, according to the results of a survey administeredby academics.
A research group headed by Kazuya Nakayachi, a professor at Doshisha
University’s Faculty of Psychology, published its findings in the Swiss
scientific journal Frontiers in Psychology on Aug. 4.
“Wearing masks is recommended to stop the virus from spreading to others,
but our research suggests wearers rarely use masks for that purpose,”
Nakayachi said. “Most of them simply want to don masks just because othersdo.”The researchers surveyed 1,000 Japanese citizens online in March about
how often and why they wear face coverings.
The survey found that most people wear the protective gear, even thoughmasks offer the wearers themselves limited protection.
The results show a majority of respondents, or 51.2 percent, said they“usually” wear masks amid the pandemic, followed by 31.4 percent who said
they “sometimes” wear them. Only 17.4 percent said they do “not at all” wear
masks.
The survey quizzed respondents in six areas: the danger of contracting thevirus; preventing oneself from becoming infected; protecting others frominfection; taking the maximum possible precautions against the virus; peerpressure; and easing anxiety.
Respondents rated their reasons for wearing masks on a scale of 1 to 5,
with 5 points representing the reason that “best explains” their motive, while
1 point would signal that they do “not at all” agree with the statement.
The most popular answer was “peer pressure,” which averaged 3.47 points.

－1－The least likely reason was “preventing one’s own infection,” which
garnered the lowest average score of 2.57.
The academics also studied the association between respondents’ answers
across the six topics and the frequency with which they reported wearing
masks. The study authors discovered that the practice of donning masks isstrongly connected to “peer pressure.”
Although face masks are intended to protect others from infection, theconnection with that reason was extremely weak.
Nakayachi noted the results should be cautiously assessed by policy
makers.
“The tendency to be affected by peer pressure can be taken advantage ofin developing anti-coronavirus measures,” he said. “But that might urge
people to watch one another too much, so careful consideration must be paid.”.
