This book describes through case studies how various factors, such as the single-party political system, traditional culture, market reform, and industrialization, shape public opinion and mass political behavior in urban China. Case studies focus on the process of conducting public opinion polls in China’s political environment, regime legitimacy and reform support, media control and censorship, interpersonal trust and democratization, mass political participation, labor relations and trade unions, and the role of intellectuals in political change.

The book draws most of its empirical evidence from twelve Chinese public opinion surveys conducted between the late 1980s and the late 1990s. The same questions repeated in many of these surveys provide a rare opportunity to examine the changing pattern of the Chinese public mind during this period. The book ends with the provocative conclusion that China’s authoritarian political system proved to be less effective than traditional culture, marketization, and industrialization in shaping public opinion and mass political behavior. Liberal ideas and bottom-up political participation can emerge even in the absence of direct elections.

读后感

比方说，第55页，把因变量“改革速度太快”编成一组，却把“适度”和“太慢”合成一组，这两个应该分开计算比较好。而且自变量是分组的时候，考虑用anova比较好。 退一步说，这是0和1的两个变量，用对数回归效果更好一点。作者在这本书里好像对这个问题没有考虑过，基本都用的...  

全书主要运用的还是政治学OLS回归分析法，虽然依然质疑统计中的水分到底多么大，不过其科学性和可信性还是有的。值得一看，起码在统计方法上提供一个范例和启示。
