Taiwan's GOTV (Taiwan's 'get out the vote,' hereafter cited as TGOTV) strategy prevails in Taiwan's electoral campaign for years. However, only few studies have been done both in domestic and international literature. The aim of this paper is therefore to investigate the contents of TGOTV and examine its effects. The first study of this paper classifies TGOTV into four subgroups, analyses the proportion of these subgroup usages, and clarifies the effects of TGOTV during the 5th legislative election in 2001. The second study illuminates the cause of TGOTV with the indigenous perspective based on three psychological traits: 'the sense of in-group interests' priority,' 'ingroup favoritism,' and 'political morality.' Accordingly, it further examines how these psychological traits influence the acceptance and the willingness to support a candidate concerning TGOTV, and it also examines the mediating role of voter acceptance to TGOTV during Kaohsiung's mayor and councilor election in 2002. The first study finds that TGOTV has evident effect on candidates' supporting rates. To verify the influence of three psychological traits, the second study reveals that the effect of 'political morality' on TGOTV is indirect, whereas the effect of 'in-group interests' priority' and 'ingroup favouritism' is more direct. |
