Psychologists, political scientists, and experts in election law present a multidisciplinary perspective on voting.
- Personality characteristics such as motivation, values, and efficacy are considered, as are demographic variables such as education, age, and social class
- Examines the reciprocal relationship that exists in the functions of voting for individual and society: the interplay between persons and institutions gives rise to the perception that a government is or is not legitimate, and to the sense that an individual does, or does not, belong
