Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject Politics -
Political Systems - General and Comparisons, grade: 1,0, University
of Mannheim, language: English, comment: Arbeit in englischer
Sprache verfasst., abstract: This enquiry deals with the
shortcomings of rational choice theory in explaining voter turnout
as a rational - i.e. efficient in terms of costs and benefits -
act. It is argued that intrinsic benefits, i.e. benefits that
accrue to the citizen independent of an election outcome, should
provide a proper explanatory potential if one can account for
different implications of these benefits for different voters. The
rationale should hold for benefits in general, though. Underlying
coherent priorities in the form of political values (materialism
vs. postmaterialism) are used to differentiate voters and to probe
for differing impacts of determinants of voter turnout depending on
different underlying values. The thesis is that the impacts of
these determinants differ for different values. The tested
determinants, taken from the literature, are appreciation of
democracy, social norms, party identification and material
resources. Hypotheses about impacts are formulated on the basis of
the theory of political values for every determinant and tested by
means of logistic regression employing data from German election
studies. Whereas the impacts of social norms and material resources
vary by underlying values, the results for appreciation of
democracy and party identification remain inclusive.
