The thesis aimed to clarify whether there are differences in the technical acceptance of students from Germany and Japan. If applicable, the thesis pointed out possible reasons for differences. To achieve this, it was necessary to conduct research in existing literature. A literature review also led to a model capable of observing the level of technical acceptance and factors connected to acceptance. While the effectivity of the model could not be completely confirmed, it became the basis for an online survey. The survey was distributed to students in Germany (mainly Munich) and Japan (mainly Tokyo) and accessible for about three weeks. The survey investigated the stance of the students towards the topics virtual reality, robotics and alternative means of payment. No strong, general correlation between the nationality of the students and their rate of technical acceptance was found. The results indicated differences for some items of robotics and alternative means of payment, but due to a small number of participants, the significance of the indications is low and requires a more thorough investigation on a bigger scale.
