| 三、教學目標 Objectives |
本課程欲提供對民意與選舉行為有興趣的研究生，對於如何有系統地進行實證研究分析有一個全面性的認識，是以本課程將針對「民意」、「政治和選民」和「選舉行為」三大主題進行介紹，希望這堂課可以作為對於投票行為領域有興趣的研究生欲進階研究的基礎，換句話說，我們會從民意的形成切入，進一步探討社會分歧、政治態度、政黨認同、經濟情況、政黨形象、議題等因素如何影響選民的投票抉擇和政治態度，進而思考這些將對於一個國家的民主政治有何影響。本課程希望提供修課學生
（1）熟悉民意與選舉行為相關理論和途徑；
（2）引導學生對相關理論和途徑進行批判性思考；
（3）培養學生在民意與投票行為研究的能力 |
| The aim of this course is to introduce students with both theoretical and practical knowledge of voting behavior. The course will introduce students to the history of voting studies, voting behavior approaches, and recent theoretical debates relating to the measurement and analysis of electoral behavior. This course examines three main themes: opinion polls, politics and the public, and the electoral behavior. The focus will be on the nature of mass beliefs, political participation, issue and ideological orientations, elections and political parties, the social bases of party support, partisanship and electoral behavior, and attitudes and electoral behavior. This course will examine theoretical explanations of voting behavior based on the evidence from studies of voting in the advanced democracies and in Taiwan. At the end of this course, students should have a good knowledge of how and why do people vote, and an understanding of the nature of public reasoning about politics. |
