We see the kinship of this model with the sociological model explaining that often they are put together. xxxiii, 178. They try to elaborate a bit and find out empirically how this happens. When the voter is in the same position, i.e. There are three possible answers: May's Law of Curvilinear Disparity is an answer that tries to stay within the logic of the proximity model and to account for this empirical anomaly, but with the idea that it is distance and proximity that count. Property qualifications. These authors find with panel data that among their confirmed hypotheses that extroverted people tend to have a strong and stable partisan identification. voters who follow a systematic vote are voters who are willing to pay these information or information-related costs. Pp. There are also external factors that also need to be considered, such as the actions of the government, for example, voters are influenced by what the government has done. The external factors would be the factors that, in the basic theory of the psycho-sociological approach, it would seem that this is what can do but if we have a certain partisan attachment to vote for another party because we are influenced by one or other of these factors but, basically, we keep our partisan attachment and the next time when these factors change, we return to the normal vote corresponding to the partisan attachment. it takes a political position that evokes the idea of symbolic politics in a more salient way. The first question is how to assess the position of the different parties and candidates, since we start from the idea of projecting voters' political preferences and party projections onto a map. The idea is that the extremist attitudes of those former voters who become party activists push strategic positioning in a direction that takes them away from their constituents. Moreover, retrospective voting can also be seen as a shortcut. An Economic Theory of Political Action in a Democracy. Journal of Political Economy, vol. The idea of the directional model, and this applies to both the simple directional model and the intensity directional model, is that voters basically cannot clearly perceive the different positions of political parties or candidates on a specific issue. By Web: Vote-By-Mail Web Request. This is a very common and shared notion. The Columbia County Supervisor of Elections strives to provide reasonable accomodations to help people with disabilities have an equal opportunity to participate on our website. Regarding the causal ambiguity, there are also critics who say that this approach is very strongly correlational in the sense that it looks for correlations between certain social variables and electoral choices, but the approach does not explain why this variable approach really has a role and therefore what are the causal mechanisms that lead from insertion, positions, social predispositions to electoral choice. Downs already put ideology at the centre of his explanation. Nevertheless, both models may be more or less correct. . But more generally, when there is a campaign, the issues are discussed. In the study of electoral behaviour, there is a simple distinction between what is called prospective voting and retrospective voting. If we take into account Przeworski and Sprague's idea that preferences are exogenous and not endogenous, it is possible to create a typology as Iversen did. This approach has often been criticized as a static approach since socio-economic or even socio-demographic characteristics do not change in the short term and yet the vote increasingly changes in the short term, what is called in electoral volatility, i.e. This is called prospective voting because voters will listen to what the parties have to say and evaluate on the basis of that, that is, looking ahead. The psycho-sociological model has its roots in Campell's work entitled The American Voter publi en 1960. The basic assumptions of the economic model of the vote are threefold: selfishness, which is the fact that voters act according to their individual interests and not according to their sense of belonging to a group or their attachment to a party. Ecological regression represents one extreme: the presumption that voting behavior changes systematically across groups but only changes randomly, if at all, within groups. The voters have to make that assessment and then decide which one brings more income and which one we will vote for. Apart from the combined models, it can be thought that different models may explain differently according to historical moments and phases of a process of political alignment and misalignment just as models may better explain certain types of candidates or according to the profile and type of voters. Several studies show that the impact of partisan identification varies greatly from one context to another. trailer For Przeworski and Sprague, there may be another logic that is not one of maximizing the electorate in the short term but one of mobilizing the electorate in the medium and long term. Among these bridges, one of the first bridges between the psycho-sociological voting theory and the rationalist theories was made by Fiorina because he considers partisan identification to be an important element in explaining electoral choice. It is possible to create a typology that distinguishes between four approaches crossing two important and crucial elements: "is voting spatial? is partisan identification one-dimensional? In the literature, we often talk about the economic theory of voting. It is a very detailed literature today. This is called the proximity model. In summary, it can be said that in the economic model of voting, the political preferences of voters on different issues, are clearly perceived by the voters themselves which is the idea that the voter must assess his own interest, he must clearly perceive what are the political preferences of voters. Even if there is still a significant effect of identification, there are other explanations and aspects to look for, particularly in terms of the issue vote and the assessments that different voters make of the issue vote. The psycho-sociological model can be seen in the light of an explanatory contribution to the idea that social inking is a determining factor in explaining the vote, or at least on a theoretical level. the difference in the cost-benefit ratio that different parties give. 65, no. There is a direct link between social position and voting. Lazarsfeld's book created this research paradigm. We can talk about two major theories or two major models or even three models. Voters have knowledge of the ideological positions of parties or candidates on one or more ideological dimensions and they use this knowledge to assess the political positions of these parties or candidates on specific issues. 0000011193 00000 n There has been a lot of criticism that has allowed the idea of issue voting to develop in a rationalist context and models. In other words, party activists tend to be more extreme in their political attitudes than voters or party leaders. It is a third explanation given by Przeworski and Sprague in their theory of partisan competition, also known as the theory of mobilization of the electorate. The role of the media and campaigns simplifies information by summarizing it. The role of the centrality of partisan identification has been criticized, especially today, because partisan identification plays a role that is still important but much less important than it used to be and may be much less important than some researchers within this paradigm have postulated. In general, they are politically more sophisticated and better educated; those who rely on the opinion of the media and opinion leaders; that of the law of curvilinear disparity proposed by May; the directional model of Rabinowitz and Matthews; Przeworski and Sprague's mobilization of the electorate. Candidate choices are made towards parties or candidates who are going in the same direction as the voter, this being understood as the voters' political preferences on a given issue. Symbols evoke emotions. The psychological and socio-economic model are strongly opposed, offering two explanations that are difficult to reconcile, even though there have been efforts to try to combine them. The Michigan model was based on the idea of socialization and partisan identification as a long-term attachment to a party that is the result of primary socialization in particular, and therefore as insertion into a given social context. All of these factors and their relationships have to be taken into account, but at the centre is always the partisan attachment. Directional model with intensity: Rabinowitz, Four possible answers to the question of how voters decide to vote, Unified Voting Model: Merrill and Grofman, Responses to criticisms of the proximity model, Partisan Competition Theory: Przeworski and Sprague, Relationship between voting explanatory models and realignment cycle. Understanding voters' behavior can explain how and why decisions were made either by public decision-makers, which has been a central concern for political scientists, [1] or by the electorate. The same can be said of the directional model with intensity. However, we see that this is not always true and that there are parties that propose more extreme policies that receive considerable electoral support. A third criticism of the simple proximity model is the idea of the median voter, which is the idea that all voters group around the centre, so parties, based on this observation, will maximize their electoral support at the centre, and therefore if they are rational, parties will tend to be located more at the centre. As the authors of The American Voter put 0000003292 00000 n There are two variations. Reinforcement over time since adult voters increasingly rely on this partisan identification to vote and to face the problems of information, namely partisan identification seen as a way of solving a problem that all voters have, which is how to form an idea and deal with the abundance and complexity of the information that comes to us from, for example, the media, political campaigns or others in relation to the political offer. Then they evaluate their own position in relation to the issues and they do the same operation positioning themselves on this left-right axis. Ideology is a means of predicting and inferring political positions during an election campaign. Nevertheless, some of these spatial theories depart from this initial formulation. In other words, if we know the partisan identification of voters, we can make a prediction about what the normal vote will be, which is a vote that is not or should not be influenced by other situational factors in a given electorate. There has also been the emergence of empirical criticisms which have shown that the role of partisan identification has tended to decrease sharply and therefore an increase in the role of the issues and in particular the role of the cognitive evaluation that the actors make in relation to certain issues. in what is commonly known as the Columbia school of thought, posited that contextual factors influence the development . 102 Lake City, FL 32055 OR 17579 SW State Road 47 Fort White, FL 32038. One must take into account the heterogeneity of the electorate and how different voters may have different motivations for choosing which party or candidate to vote for. 0000007057 00000 n At the aggregate level, the distribution of partisan identification in the electorate makes it possible to calculate the normal vote. Grofman's idea is to say that the voter discounts what the candidates say (discounting) based on the difference between current policy and what the party says it will do or promise. 0000009473 00000 n What we are interested in is on the demand side, how can we explain voters' electoral choice. Studies have shown that, for example, outside the United States, a much larger proportion of voters who change their vote also change their partisan identification. Some have criticized this model saying that it puts forward the one-dimensional image of the human being and politics, that is, that it is purely rational, hypercognitive in a way without taking into account sociological but also psychological elements. Print. This is an alternative way which is another answer to the question of how to evaluate the position of different parties and candidates. It is a small bridge between different explanations. In this perspective, voting is essentially a question of attachment, identity and loyalty to a party, whereas in the rationalist approach it is mainly a question of interest, cognition and rational reading of one's own needs and the adequacy of different political offers to one's needs. [1] These theories are called spatial theories of the vote because they are projected. McClung Lee, A. On the other hand, to explain the electoral choice, we must take into account factors that are very far from the vote theoretically, but we must also take into account the fact that there are factors that are no longer close to the electoral choice during a vote or an election. There are several reasons that the authors of these directional models cite to explain this choice of direction with intensity rather than a choice of proximity as proposed by Downs. The second criterion is subjectivity, which is that voters calculate the costs and benefits of voting subjectively, so they make an assessment of the costs and benefits. There is also a literature on whether certain parties have certain issues, which voters believe are the parties that are better able to deal with a certain issue. First, they summarize the literature that has been interested in explaining why voters vary or differ in the stability or strength of their partisan identification. For the sociological model we have talked about the index of political predisposition with the variables of socioeconomic, religious and spatial status. Within the ambit of such a more realistic, limited-rational model of human behavior, mitigation outcomes from . One must assess the value of one's own participation and also assess the number of other citizens who will vote. %PDF-1.3 % Voting is an act of altruism. In other words, they propose something quite ecumenical that combines directional and proximity models. La dernire modification de cette page a t faite le 11 novembre 2020 00:26. The theories that are supposed to explain the electoral choice also explain at the same time the electoral participation in particular with the sociological model. This electoral volatility, especially in a period of political misalignment, is becoming more and more important and is increasingly overshadowed by this type of explanation. This model explains for Downs why we abstain. There is a small degree of complexity because one can distinguish between attitudes towards the candidate or the party, attitudes towards the policies implemented by the different parties and attitudes about the benefits that one's own group may receive from voting for one party rather than another. A first criticism that has been made is that the simple proximity model gives us a misrepresentation of the psychology of voting. A second possible answer is that they will vote for the candidate who belongs to the party with which they identify. It is multidimensional also in the bipartisan context of the United States because there are cleavages that cut across parties. Later, their analysis saw that party identification and attachment was the most common factor. The idea is that this table is the Downs-Hirschman model that would have been made in order to summarize the different responses to the anomaly we have been talking about. There is no real electoral choice in this type of explanation, but it is based on our insertion in a social context. There are certain types of factors that influence other types of factors and that in turn influence other types of factors and that ultimately help explain the idea of the causal funnel of electoral choice. Discounting is saying that the voter does not fully believe what the parties say. There is a kind of heterogeneity of voters. These studies model individual utility from the election of a preferred party or candidate as decreasing as the alternative deviates from one's ideal point, but differ as to whether this loss should be modeled linearly or quadratically. They find that partisan identification becomes more stable with age, so the older you get, the more partisan identification you have, so it's much easier to change when you're young. Basic Idea What you are vote choice ; Key foundational studies ; Lazarsfeld, Berelson, Gaudet (1944) The Peoples Choice Berelson, Lazarsfeld, McPhee (1954) Voting Here, preferences are endogenous and they can change. We need to find identification measures adapted to the European context, which the researchers have done. The personality model highlights the importance of childhood experiences for political behavior and belief in adulthood; the sociological model highlights the importance of primary and interest . "The answer is "yes", as postulated by spatial theories, or "no", as stated by Przeworski and Sprague, for example. If you experience any difficulty accessing any part of this website, please call (386) 758-1026 or email kbanner@votecolumbiafl.gov for further assistance. We leave behind the idea of spatial theories that preferences are exogenous, that they are pre-existing and almost fixed. 0000001124 00000 n social determinism How does partisan identification develop? For Fiorina, the retrospective vote is the fact that current policy is fundamental, whereas in the prospective vote it is less so. There are three actors at play in this theory: there are voters, candidates, and an intermediate group represented by activists who are in fact voters who become activists going to exercise "voice". Political Behaviour: Historical and methodological benchmarks, The structural foundations of political behaviour, The cultural basis of political behaviour, PEOPLE'S CHOICE: how the voter makes up his mind in a presidential campaign, https://doi.org/10.1177/000271624926100137, https://doi.org/10.1177/0010414094027002001, https://baripedia.org/index.php?title=Theoretical_models_of_voting_behaviour&oldid=49464, Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-SA 4.0). McElroy's connection to Vancouver didn't end there. The concept of electoral choice does not belong to the sociological model but rather to rationalist theories. There is little room for context even though there are more recent developments that try to put the voter's freedom of choice in context. Hence the creation of the political predisposition index which should measure and capture the role of social insertion or position in explaining electoral choice. The degree of political sophistication, political knowledge, interest in politics varies from voter to voter. There is in fact the idea that the choices and preferences of voters in the centre will cause the parties, since they are aiming in this model, to try to maximize their electoral support. The economic model of the vote puts the notion of electoral choice back at the centre. This model of directional proximity with intensity illustrates what is called symbolic politics which is related to the problem of information. This article reviews the main theoretical models that explain the electoral behavior sociological model of voting behavior, psychosocial model of voting behavior and rational. 0000000866 00000 n LAZARSFELD, PAUL F., BERNARD BERELSON, and HAZEL GAUDET. Numerous studies examine voting behavior based on the formal theoretical predictions of the spatial utility model. In this representation, there are factors related to the cleavages, but also other factors that relate to the economic, political or social structure of a country being factors that are far removed from the electoral choice but that still exert an important effect in an indirect way the effect they have on other variables afterwards. An important factor is the role of political campaigns in influencing the vote. Nowadays, the internet is the most used communication environment, and therefore it becomes very important to try to determine the behavior of users regarding internet use. Certain developments in the theory of the psycho-sociological model have in fact provided answers to these criticisms. In other words, a directional element is introduced into the proximity model. This idea of an issue was not invented by the proponents of the economic model of voting but was already present in the psycho-sociological model. These spatial theories start from the assumption that there is a voter or voters who have political preferences with respect to certain issues, but completely discard the explanation of how these preferences are formed. "i.e., if it is proximity, it is 'yes', otherwise it is 'no' and therefore directional; 'are the preferences of the actors exogenous? Thus, they were well suited not only to develop and test theories of voting behavior, but also to provide an historical record of the considerations shaping the outcomes of specific national elections. This is the proximity model. On this basis, four types of voters can be identified in a simplified manner: It is possible to start from the assumption that the characteristics of these different voters are very different. In this case, there may be other factors that can contribute to the voter choice; and all parties that are on the other side of the neutral point minimize the voter's utility, so the voter will not vote for that party all other things being equal. In spring of 2021, key people working in homelessness services in Vancouver flew to San Diego to learn about the Alpha Project's model . There are several theories emphasizing different factors which may shape citizens' voting behavior. One of the answers within spatial theories is based on this criticism that voters are not these cognitively strong beings as the original Downs theory presupposes. Comparative Political Studies, 27(2), 155189. %%EOF There are different strategies that are put in place by voters in a conscious or unconscious way to reduce these information costs, which are all the costs associated with the fact that in order to be able to evaluate the utility income given by one party rather than another, one has to go and see, listen, hear and understand what these parties are saying. In the Michigan model, the idea of stakes was already present but was somewhat underdeveloped, and this perspective on the role of stakes in the psychosocial model lent itself to both theoretical and empirical criticism from proponents of rationalist models. There are a whole bunch of individual characteristics related to the fact that one is more of a systematic voter of something else. It is a rather descriptive model, at least in its early stages. We worked with a sample of 516 Argentinean adults, aged 18 to 75. to 1/n,and thus the expected utility of voting is proportional to N/n, which is approximately independent of the size of the electorate.3 In the basic rational-choice model of voting and political participation (see Blais 2000 for an overview and many references), the relative util-ity of voting, for a particular eligible voter, is: U = pB . To summarize these approaches, there are four possible answers to the question of how voters decide to vote. According to Fiorina, identification with a party is not necessarily the result of a long phase of socialization, but it is also the result of evaluations of a certain party, it is the fact of voting for that party that makes it possible to develop a partisan identification. and voters who choose to use euristic shortcuts to solve the information problem. There are other models that try to relate the multiplicity of issues to an underlying ideological space, i.e., instead of looking at specific issues, everything is brought back to a left-right dimension as a shortcut, for example, and there are other theories that consider the degree of ambiguity and clarity of the candidates' positions. There are different types of costs that this model considers and that need to be taken into account and in particular two types of costs which are the costs of going to vote (1) but above all, there are the costs of information (2) which are the costs of obtaining this information since in this model which postulates to choose a party on the basis of an evaluation of the different propositions of information which is available, given these basic postulates, the transparency of information and therefore the costs of information are crucial. According to them, it is necessary to combine different types of explanations and in particular, in the electoral choice, the components related to proximity, leadership, and also the rather "intensity" leadership, all of which play a significant role in the positioning of candidates and parties. In other words, the voters' political preferences on different issues, in other words, in this type of theorizing, they know very well what they want, and what is more, these positions are very fixed and present when the voter is going to have to vote. The sociological model obviously has a number of limitations like any voting model or any set of social science theories. There have been several phases of misalignment. This is the basic motivation for the development of these directional models. The second criticism is the lack of an adequate theory of preference formation. The reference work is The Peoples Choice published in 1948 by Lazarsfeld, Berelson and Gaudet. It is the state of the economy that will decide who will win the election or not. Partisan attachment is at the centre of the graph influencing opinions on certain issues being discussed or the attitudes of certain candidates. it is easier to change parties from one election to the next; a phase of realignment (3), which consists of creating new partisan loyalties. The relationship between partisan identification and voting is that the model postulates that partisan identification is the explanatory variable and that voting for the electoral choice is the explained variable. On the other hand, women tend to have less stable partisan identification, they change more often too. There are a whole host of typologies in relation to issues, and we distinguish different types of issues such as position issues and issues that are more or less emotional. For Lazarsfeld, "a person thinks politically as he or she is socially". As for the intensity model, they manage to perceive something more, that is to say, not only a direction but an intensity through which a political party defends certain positions and goes in certain political directions. Symbolic politics says that what is important in politics are not necessarily the rationally perceived positions or the political positions of the parties but what the political symbols evoke in relation to certain issues.
