Constituency Environment and Electoral Behavior: an Inter- disciplinary Study on the Legislator Election of 1998
Listed in Harvard Dataverse
Most researcher of electoral behavior in Taiwan build their models based on data collected on individuals.
Description
This is understandable because socio-psychological variables are still the most often used base for theory-building in the study of electoral behavior. However, there are still other variables that could be utilized in understanding behavior of voters.
Environmental factors, for instance, would add more power to a theory in explaining behavior of voters living in different social contexts. This is more so when we attempt to explain voter behavior in a national election containing many constituencies. Legislator election is a case of this kind.

The main theme of this research project is that in order to explain voter behavior we need to add contextual factors to our theories in addition to conventional variables such party identification, issue position, and candidate evaluation. This project is an inter-disciplinary study on voting behavior in Legislator election. We plan to conduct surveys on a national sample of Taiwanese voter before and after the Legislator election in late 1998.
In addition, available statistics from government publication, achieves, and news paper reports are to be collected to construct indicators for social context of constituencies sampled in our survey.
