According to the spiral of silence theory, perception of opinion climates influences willingness to express one's opinion. This study examines the relationship between opinion perception and opinion expression in different regions and issues. The results show that one's opinion and the intensity of opinion affect the expression of opinion about national and regional issues in Busan and Gwangju. People who perceive their opinions as majority are more willing to express theirs about national and regional issues in Gwangju, but not in Busan. Regression analyses show that perceived public opinion does not predict the expression of opinion in both cities. People who perceive their opinions more favorable about regional issue have lower intention to express their opinions than people who perceive their opinions same as others'. In summary, one's opinion and perception bias about controversial issues are important variables influencing expression of opinion, and the influence of perceived public opinion on opinion expression varies in different regions with different distribution of public opinion. This study found 'new hardcores' who perceive their own opinion as minor but more valuable and have the intention to speak out in places more difficult to express.

This study aims to examine the relation between opinion perception and opinion expression by issue types by analyzing online poll results and respective bulletin boards. To find out how opinion poll results affect the public opinion perception cues and opinion expression through the internet, the study applied a method of content analysis to the online contents provided by Naver.com, one of the most popular portal sites in Korea. A total of four issue types, along with 2,250 messages were chosen for analysis. The study results revealed that internet users perceived opinion atmosphere through the poll results and expressed their opinions depending on the issue types. In case of an issue where majority views are manifested as online poll results, users tended to follow that majority views by retaining their initial opinion. Majority opinion by the poll results held a dominant position in bulletin board. The results partially support Noelle-Neuman(1994)'s spiral of silence theory in the context of computer-mediated communication contrary to the belief that anonymity in the cyberspace tends to encourage participation of minority opinion group. According to the findings, people when they perceive their opinion as that of minority are discouraged to express their views even when they are online.

자조금제도(cheek off system)를 실시해야 된다는 의견들을 심심치 않게 듣고 있다. 양축가들의 관심이 매우 높기 때문이다. 언제 누가 어떻게 교육을 하였기에 이렇게 여론이 조성되었는지 참으로 신기할 따름이다. 자조금에 대한 이야기를 계속하다 보면 많은 양축가들이 자조금만 실시되면 우리 업계의 모든 문제들이 한꺼번에 해결되는 만병통치약으로 알고 있는데 놀라지 않을 수 없다. 값이 떨어지면 즉시 수매비축하고 이 돈으로 유통구조도 개선하여 문제들을 해결한다는 것이다. 일은 사람이 하고 유능한 사람을 구해서 일을 하려면 돈이 필요하고 돈을 모으는 방법과 사용처에 대한 업계의견을 들어 본다.
