18대 대선과 유권자의 후보 선택 = The Voters` Choice in the 18th Presidential Election of Korea

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study aims to analyze the voting behavior in the 18th Presidential election of Korea generally with frequency and binominal logistic regression analysis. The analysis focuses on socioeconomic factors, the supporting party, ideology, issues, retrospective voting, and prospective voting. Female rather than male voters, older rather than younger voters, the Busan/Ulsan/Kyungnam Province-born rather than voters of other regions, conservative rather than progressive voters, voters against the opinion that South Korea should support North Korea because we are the same ethnic rather than the advocates, voters who support the opinion that government should not intervene with enterprise activities even though Chaebol cannot reform by themselves rather than the opponents, the positive reviewers for MB government rather than negatives, and the voters who expect the domestic economy to improve after 5 years rather than the other voters, were all discovered to be more likely to support Park Guen-Hye candidate.
