本文旨在探討政治態度之變化,採用「賦權理論」(empowerment theory)之論點為基礎,以台北市、桃園縣,以及台中市外省族群2002年至2004年的「政治功效意識」(sense of political efficacy)變化為例證,探討族群政治態度變化情形。經由實證分析結果顯示,相對而言,在「低度外省賦權」地區,外省族群政治功效意識較不會提高。反之,在「高度外省賦權」地區,非外省族群政治功效意識較可能降低。此結果雖然未直接表示,「高度外省賦權」地區的外省族群政治功效意識較可能提升。但是,結果顯示,「政治賦權」效應對於族群的內在政治功效意識變化,具若干影響力。
This study aims at probing into the change of ethnicities' political attitude. In this view, we take advantage of empowerment theory and examine the Mainlanders' change of sense of political efficacy in Taipei city, Taoyuan county, and Taichung city from 2002 to 2004. The results reveal that, comparatively speaking, in ”low- Mainlander-empowerment areas”, the sense of political efficacy of Mainlanders will not be improved. Review, in ”high-Mainlanders-empowerment areas”, only if other Mainlanders' the sense of political efficacy might reduce relatively. Though this result has not shown directly, Mainlanders' the sense of political efficacy may be improved in ”high-Mainlanders-empowerment areas”, the ”political empowerment” produces the influence of internal efficacy on different ethnics and areas. In the conclusion, we review the major findings and limitations of this study.
