Undergrduates' real states of attitudes towad peace issues and some determinants of peace-making activities were assessed in order to remove the prevailing prejudice of political indifference of today's Japanese adolescents and suggest possibility of increase in their social participation. 247 undergraduates from two universities were surveyed regarding attitudes toward two peace issues, 'nuclear weapons' and 'peace movement', and experiments of peace-making activities. The questionnaire consisted of two sets of SD Scales for the affective component of the attitudes toward the two peace issues, two sets of Belief Scales for the cognitive component, Activity Motivation Scales for the action tendency component, and Activity Experience Scale measuring the degree of involvement in the peace-making activities. Discriminant analysis were conducted in order to examine the relationship between attitude components, as motivators and inhibitors of activity, and actual peace-making activities. A great concern about peace issues, extremely negative attitudes toward nuclear weapons and rather positive sttitudes toward peace movement were found, which showed hidden sides of today's Japanese youth. On the other hand, interpersonally contradictory evaluations of nuclear deterrence and intrapersonally inconsistent evaluation of peace movement were found, which was supposed to reflect complicated state of Japanese peace movements. Results of discriminant analysis suggested some determinants of two types of peace-making activities, organized and individual ones. There was significant correlation between organized peace-making activities and hatred to nuclear weapons, affective component of attitude. Organized peace activities also storongly correlated with cognitive attitude toward the doctrine of nuclear deterrence. A contradictory relationship between active participation in organized peace movement and negative affective evaluation of peace activity was found. This strange relation must be reflection of the fact that the active participants had experienced a number of difficulties in the promotion of the actual peace movement in Japan. It was belief in urgency of occurrence of nuclear war, cognitive component, that determined individual activities fo peace.
