AB - This study has conducted an experimental survey on Shingori 5th and 6th Nuclear Power Plant Construction by using a dynamic method that makes it possible to exchange political opinions in order to accurately measure public opinion and gain exact results. The survey conducted the following steps: First, 1,000 interviewees over the age of 19 are asked if they are in favor of or against resuming Shingori 5th and 6th Nuclear Power Plant Construction. They were divided into groups of a supporter and an opponent, then information about the disadvantage and advantage of Nuclear Power are provided to the supporter and opponent, respectively. After reading the counter-argument, they are asked their opinions again. This study was conducted with much anticipation as to how their first opinions, their interest in politics and nuclear power, their information perception of nuclear power are influenced when confronted with a counter-argument. The results of our analysis showed that 29.3% of the interviewees have changed their first opinion which were found to be affected by their first opinion, information perception, a frequency of mentioning nuclear power and politics, an inclination of politics, and education level. The interviewees who agreed with nuclear power and had lower information perception and interest tend to change their opinion more easily. The result suggests that building people's interest by providing information and making them to debate is significant in a formation of desirable public opinion in a democracy.
