Abstract
Spanish philosopher, Ortega, defined the mass mans as people without any particular desire to themselves, and criticized their remarkable appearance in modern society caused various social problems. In practice, it is often said in Japan that the mass mans, who are easily influenced by the public opinion, causes the populism in politics. In this research, we focus on the vote, which is the direct method for citizens to relate the politics, and survey the relevance of the vulgarity of the mass mans and voting behavior with a Web questionnaire. As results, it is suggested that self-closed people tends to be indifferent to election itself, and arrogant people tends not to think over, and to put much emphasis on the peripheral information such as popularity of candidates, the evaluation in mass media and, especially, the flippant criteria of the degree how the candidates are amusing for them.
