| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this research is to find a mechanism of "a landslide election victory" through social-psychological experiments. Experimental results show that most voters tend to change their preferences and to follow the majority, when they recognize the risk of becoming a minority. The experiments also show that voters become fixated for winning elections by repeating elections. These results suggest the modern democratic system itself can cause "a landslide election victory".
