Lingering effects of losing and nonvoting on institutional trust: an analysis of South Korea / Rich, Timothy S; Knight, Lucas ; Dahmer, Andi

Rich, Timothy S	Journal Article
	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Summary/Abstract

To what extent do supporters of electoral losers and nonvoters maintain lower evaluations of institutions post-election? A sizable literature identifies a divergence in perceptions among winners and losers regarding democratic satisfaction, with few studies extending this to perceptions of other electoral and nonelectoral institutions nor to include nonvoters. The timing of the 2015 Asian Barometer survey in South Korea allows us to identify evaluation prior to Park Geun-Hye’s impeachment scandal. Analysis consistently finds that those who supported the losing presidential candidate in 2012 maintained lower evaluations of institutions, with inconsistent results regarding nonvoters.

Unpacking the roles of religion and partisanship on support for same-sex marriage: evidence from South Korea / Rich, Timothy S; Dahmer, Andi ; Eliassen, Isabel

Rich, Timothy S	Journal Article
	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Summary/Abstract

We ask to what extent opposition to same-sex marriage in South Korea is driven by Protestant identification and how this differs from Catholic and non-Christian views. Furthermore, is there a separate demographic, partisan or ideological influence beyond that captured by religious identity? Analysis of the 2016 Korean General Social Survey (KGSS) data finds not only clear perceptual distinctions between Protestants versus Buddhists and Catholics, but that partisan distinctions endure, even after controlling for the more popular non-LGBT-specific anti-discrimination legislation. In addition, younger and female respondents were more supportive of legalization, while education did not have the same effect as in the broader LGBT literature.
