Role of networks in electoral behavior : ウィキペディア英語版 | Role of networks in electoral behavior
Networks in electoral behavior, as a part of political science, refers to the relevance of networks in forming citizens’ voting behavior at parliamentary, presidential or local elections. There are several theories emphasizing different factors which may shape citizens' voting behavior. Many influential theories ignore the possible influence of individuals' networks in forming vote choices and focus mainly on the effects of own political attitudes – such as party loyalties or party identification developed in childhood proposed by the Michigan model, or on the influence of rational calculations about the political parties’ ideological positions as proposed by spatial and valence theories.〔Bartels, L. M. (2010). The Study of Electoral Behavior. In: Leighley, J. E. (ed.) ''The Oxford Handbook of American Elections and Political Behavior''. New York: Oxford University Press, 239-261.〕〔Sanders, D., Clarke, H. D., Stewart, C. M., & Whiteley, P. (2011). Downs, Stokes and the Dynamics ofElectoral Choice. ''British Journal of Political Science'', 41: 287-314.〕 These theories offer models of electoral behavior in which individuals are not analyzed within their social networks and environments.〔 In a more general context, some authors warn that the hypothesis testing done mainly based on sample surveys and focused on individuals’ attributes without looking at relational data (relations among individuals) seems to be a poor methodological instrument.〔Savage, M., & Burrows, R. (2007). The Coming Crisis of Empirical Sociology. ''Sociology'', 41(5): 885-899.〕 However, models emphasizing the influence of individuals’ social networks in shaping their electoral choices have been also present in the literature from the very beginning. == Theories emphasizing the relevance of networks ==
There are three main (theoretical and empirical) approaches emphasizing the importance of networks in shaping electoral decisions: using surveys to measure actors’ (in this case voters’) attitudes (Columbia Studies), measuring collective patterns of social groups on an aggregate level as supplementary information (Contextual analysis) and focusing on interpersonal dynamics among individuals.〔Boudourides, M. A. (2004). A Review of Network Theories on the Formation of Public Opinion. ''Electronic Journal of Communication'', 14:1-19.〕
