Protesting, unlike voting behavior, is a sort of nontraditional or unorthodox political behavior. There are three distinct theories explaining the motivation behind this action: Grievance Theory, Resource Mobilization Theory, and Rational Choice Theory. By estimating several count data regressions, this paper found many explanations for the reasons people joined the Anti-Chen Movement in 2006. First, it is not sufficient to explain this movement, especially those actions requiring people to take to the streets, through traditional voting perspectives such as party identification, race/group ideology, or provincialism. Secondly, of those three theories, only Rational Choice provided enough support to clarify the public good dilemma in this action. Thirdly, the reason this movement engendered so many followers and avoided the free rider problem is attributed to the NT$100 fund-raising activity. It significantly reduced the risk and cost of joining the protest action.
