摘要 Dalton(2008)利用左右意識型態光譜建構「政黨極化指數」(party polarization index),有效偵測出一國政黨體系的實質運作與影響。但以該指數測量台灣政黨體系的運作時,卻發現台灣的政黨極化程度相對「穩定趨中」(stable and modest),與台灣藍綠政黨衝突對立的政治現況格格不入。之所以如此,主要在於左右意識型態雖是歐美民主國家最重要的政治分歧,但甚少在台灣的政治氛圍中出現,台灣藍綠政黨的分歧主要存在於兩岸統獨議題。因此,本研究利用認知訪談及調查資料,分析台灣民眾對左右派的認知,並調整Dalton的政黨極化指數,以統獨議題取代左右意識型態,檢測台灣的政黨極化程度。研究結果發現,大多數的台灣民眾確實不知道,甚至誤解左右派的意涵,以致Dalton的政黨極化指數無法真實反應台灣政黨競爭的現況,反之,若以統獨議題取代左右意識型態,則可適切反應出台灣政黨競爭的實際樣貌。這意味著在進行跨國比較分析時,除了追求指數建構的一致性外,仍須兼顧不同國家的實際政治氛圍,讓指數在適用上更具彈性及測量效度。
To assess interparty competition in democratic politics, Dalton (2008) constructed the "party polarization index" based on a left-right ideology. The partisan divide between the pan-Blue and pan-Green camps in Taiwan has been sharp and acute since the 1990s. This observed reality contradicts the stable and modest prediction based on Dalton`s index. To explain the difference, it is hypothesized that public opinion in Taiwan rests not on a left-right ideological continuum but on the issue of independence versus unification. This study utilizes cognitive interviews and data from a survey conducted in Taiwan to examine its citizens` perceptions of left-right ideology in an attempt to adjust Dalton`s party polarization index. This research shows that most of Taiwan`s citizens are unfamiliar with, and sometimes misunderstand, the meaning of left-right ideology. The majority of the respondents cannot place themselves or identify the major parties` positions on a left-right ideological continuum. The result indicates that Dalton`s party polarization index is inappropriate when it comes to examining Taiwan`s interparty competition due to the validity issue in measurement. By replacing the indicator of left-right ideology with that of the respondents` positions on the unification versus independence issue, this study shows that Dalton`s index can better assess interparty competition in Taiwan. The implication of the findings from this study is that the index construction needs to adapt to different political contexts.
