Personality and Attitude Determinants of Voting Behavior

Brigham, John C.; Severy, Lawrence J.

Social Behavior and Personality, 4, 1, 127-138, 76

Measures of racial attitude, conceptual style, commitment to candidate and electoral process, social-political evaluation, and voting intentions, were administered to white college students (N=320) before the 1972 Presidential election. Prediction of behavioral intentions becomes more powerful as attitudinal measures are made more directly relevant to behavioral acts. (Author)
