Abstract
Employing time series data from Public Opinion Programme, this study analyzes public opinion polarization in Hong Kong during the past three decades. Opinion polarization is conceptualized as dispersion and bimodality of within population opinion distribution and measured by variance and kurtosis. Public opinion regarding politics, economic and livelihood issues is analyzed. Through time series analysis, results show that overall public opinion in Hong Kong is polarized increasingly in political and livelihood issue domains, but not in economic issue domain. Implications of the findings are discussed.
