Abstract(s)
This article reviews the main theoretical models that explain the electoral behavior
— sociological model of voting behavior, psychosocial model of voting behavior and
rational choice theory —, stressing the continuity and theoretical complementarity
between them. It also proposes a reconceptualization of the concept of partisanship in
order to integrate all relevant contributions of the three main models of voting behavior
in a holistic approach to electoral behavior.
