| dc.description.abstract (摘要) | Information and cue-taking research suggests that given most citizens lack knowledge of and interest in politics, people rely on cues from political parties or social groups to decide their opinions on issues. Using a survey experiment conducted in Taiwan regarding nuclear energy, we rigorously examine the effect of information on direct democracy. Further, based on appraisal theories I suppose that information as stimuli may trigger emotion if there is significant policy inference from information. This study estimates a causal mediation effect of information on voting intention through emotion. The central finding is that receiving more relevant information triggers emotion, which in turn makes individuals in such circumstance much more likely to express their voice (i.e. participate in the referendum). [This study echoes] the information research: party-cue or group-influence is not a necessary condition for people to accept new information and behave accordingly. | |
