Validity of the ideological left/right continuum during 2011 Presidential Elections in Lima-Peru This study analyzes the relationship between political ideology, voting behavior and emotional responses after Peruvian presidential elections in 2011. Scales of intolerance for ambiguity, need for closure, right-wing authoritarianism (RWA) and the right-wing political orientation were used to assess right-wing political conservatism. A structural equation model proposes that intolerance of ambiguity and need for closure exert a direct effect on RWA. Also, RWA influences directly the right-wing political orientation, which exerts a direct influence on negative emotional responses and an inverse effect on positive emotional responses after O. Humala's victory. Final discussion focuses on the contemporary relevance of left/right ideological continuum.

Palabras clave : comportamiento electoral; orientación política de derecha; autoritarismo; reacciones emocionales; voting behavior; right-wing political orientation; authoritarianism; emotional responses.
