Political System and Electoral Behavior: an Analysis of 1983 Supplementary Election of the Legislative Yuan

The second part covered topics related to electoral participation on several different levels (including a basic look at variables such as input, transformation, and output). We divided electoral activities into five levels: sustaining, persuading, reforming, accelerating, and intervening. \' Sustaining\' was considered the lowest level, and \'intervening\' the highest level. As the level of participation increased, participation in lower- level activities also increased.

The survey research for this project was conducted island-wide. Due to budget and time limitations, we used a smaller sample size and to conduct our investigation. In order to ensure the accurate representation of the sample, our workshop adopted a fairly complex multiple-stage sampling method.

We followed the principles of probabilities proportional to size (PPS), stratified sampling, systematic sampling, and double sampling methods to ensure that our data was accurate and robust.
