AB - To examine what affected the intensity of political participation, we conducted an online survey of activists who had worked in presidential election camp for the main opposition presidential candidate Moon Jae-in of United Democratic Party (UDP). Findings are as follows: First, low-income activists were more active in campaign work. Given that campaign work was time-comsuming work, it was not certain whether their more free time resulted from no income activity or their economic prosperty. Second, activists joining more associations whose members had similar sociopolitical backgrounds were more active in campaign work, which may suggest that interaction with like-minded others encourages their participation by strengthening their political views. Third, as the external efficacy of activists became lower, the intensity of their participation was enhanced, which might suggest that in a special time like presidential election, the political energy such as political discontent could turn into active participation. Last, activists who thought their ideological positions were more close to that of Moon Jae-in were more active in campaign work. I think that this paper will contribute to understanding of political participation through exploratory analysis on intensity of participation, which has received only minimal attention.
