政黨位置的測量雖然只是單一變數的測量,但仍然屬於理論導向的經驗研究。本文首先簡要說明研究途徑與理論如何影響變數選擇與測量的方法。接著分別討論以政見研究小組的內容分析法為主的非介入式測量,與專家調查、候選人調查、抽樣調查等三種介入式測量的方法及其優缺點。第三部份使用以顯著性理論為基礎所發展的內容分析法,以政黨政見與選舉公報為文本來測量台灣主要政黨與派系在統獨立場、左右議題、環境保護與經濟發展三個政策空間上的位置。另外輔以專家調查與抽樣調查資料,除了呈現不同測量方式的結果外,也比較內容分析法與專家調查的結果,以信度檢驗來作為推測內容分析是否具有效度的基礎。結果顯示,以政黨政見與選舉公報為文本的內容分析所呈現的政黨相對位置大致相同。內容分析與專家調查所呈現的政黨相對位置也沒有重大差異。因此,從理論基礎、公開可複製的科學流程、到信度與效度檢驗,都顯示政見研究小組的內容分析法是有效的測量方式。
To measure party positions should be a theory-guided empirical research, even though it is only about to measure a variable. This research starts with explaining why approach and theories are important to the selection of variables and how to measure them. Secondly, the content analysis developed by Manifesto Research Group (MRG) and a variety of obtrusive methods of measurements are introduced, including what they are and their advantages and disadvantages. Thirdly, the Taiwanese parties' positions on Taiwan Independence, Left-Right Dimension, and Environmental Protection and Economy Growth are measured by the MRG methods with party manifestos and electoral gazettes. Besides, expert surveys and mass surveys are used as a supplement. The measures from content analysis are compared with that from surveys in order to assure the validity of the data. The results show that party positions measured by content analysis and surveys are similar. Therefore, because of its solid theory, public and replicable coding procedure, and acceptable reliability and validity, the method of measuring party positions developed by MRG provides quality data of party positions.
