SORRIBAS, Patricia BRUSSINO, Silvina. Political Participation: discriminant contribution of ideological attitudes, values and socio-psychological variables. []. , 35, 1, pp.311-345. ISSN 0254-9247. https://doi.org/10.18800/psico.201701.011.
This paper identifies variables that discriminate between participants and non-participants considering electoral and non-electoral dimensions of political participation in Córdoba, Argentina. A study was conducted by survey on a representative sample of the population (N = 450). The discriminant analysis allowed recognizing the contribution of right-wing authoritarianism (RWA), collectivism, political collectivism, political interest and of participatory measure of "political efficacy", to such differentiation in two dimensions of participation: electoral-campaign and contact with organizations and political figures. These results show the relationship of RWA with different political behavior of party preferences; and verify the relationship of different values and a participatory measure of "political efficacy" with broad participation repertoires.
