摘要 Many research findings in the United States have confirmed that the negative coverage of politics has led to high levels of citizen cynicism and negativity (Bennett, 1999; Lee, 2001). However, other research has argued that the news media does not make citizens more cynical or alienated. This study will try to explore the relationships between Taiwan voters¡¦ media behavior, political cynicism, perceptions of media negativism, and actual voting behavior. The result has found that age is the only demographic variable predicting voters¡¦ perception of negative television election coverage. Voter education and income were significant predictors in explaining their cynicism. Moreover, voters¡¦ cable television use was significantly related to their cynicism. Voters in Taiwan might be cynical, but the data has demonstrated that they won¡¦t be disappointed by the electoral process and shown quite satisfied with the outcome.
