摘　　要：基于我国台湾地区2010年与2014年的两波问卷调查数据的分析,本文发现台湾民众对民主价值内部各个维度的认同存在明显的差异性,但总体上已具有稳定的民主信念。而在民主含义的理解上,程序式民主相对于实质式民主,并不具备认知优势和群众基础。从民主观念的内在结构上看,有近七成的台湾民众从内在价值上认同民主原则,而在民主理解上却强调治理绩效与社会平等。也就是说:信奉民主原则并不必然地拒绝能带来实质治理品质的民主制度,如果以所谓"民主原则"和"最大民意"来掩盖治理能力的不足,甚至以民意之名,行损害民众利益之实,则注定无法被台湾社会的大多数民众所接受。Based on the results of Asian Barometer Survey conducting in Taiwan in 2010 and 2014, this pa-per indicates that although the public recognition of democratic value in Taiwan presents obvious differences in the internal dimension,the overall value is stable. Regarding the understanding of democracy, there is no obvious public support of procedural democracy over substantive democracy in Taiwan. Although almost 70% Taiwan Residents demonstrate their attachment to democratic values,they emphasize governance performance and social equality when mentioning democratic understanding. The result suggests that the belief of demo-cratic values does not necessarily mean the rejection of substantive democracy in Taiwan. Therefore, leaders in Taiwan could lose major public support if they do damage to public interest or evade inadequate govern-ance capacity with the disguise of the so-called “ democratic principle” and “ the public opinion”.
