Abstract

Through the survey of the K university students' perception on participation in elections, we want to find ways to induce a sound political participation and to effectively be able to boost voter turnout. We analyze the relations among image on election, interest in election and will of participation via structural equation model. We found that both image on election and interest in election significantly influence on will of participation in election. Using the last election participation as a moderating variable, we found that image on election has more effects on will of participation for the participants but not for the case of interest in election.

선거 참여에 관한 K대 학생들의 인식조사를 통하여 대학생들의 선거 참여에 대한 부정적인 이미지를 감소시켜 건전한 정치참여를 유도하고 효과적으로 투표율을 높일 수 있는 방안을 모색하고자 한다. K대 학생들을 대상으로 선거에 대한 이미지, 관심, 참여 의지 사이의 관계를 구조방정식을 이용하여 파악하였다. 연구결과, 선거에 대한 이미지와 선거에 대한 관심 모두 선거 참여 의지에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 선거 참여 여부를 조절변수로 한 분석에서는 선거에 참여한 사람들의 경우, 참여하지 않은 사람에 비해 선거에 대한 이미지가 선거 참여 의지 정도에 미치는 영향이 더 큰 것으로 나타났으나 선거에 대한 관심의 선거 참여 의지 정도에는 선거 참여 여부가 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 나타났다.
