How Voters Decide: Information Processing in Election Campaigns de Richard R. Lau

How Voters Decide: Information Processing in Election Campaigns: Cambridge Studies in Public Opinion and Political Psychology

Autor Richard R. Lau, David P. Redlawsk
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 iun 2006
This book attempts to redirect the field of voting behavior research by proposing a paradigm-shifting framework for studying voter decision making. An innovative experimental methodology is presented for getting 'inside the heads' of citizens as they confront the overwhelming rush of information from modern presidential election campaigns. Four broad theoretically-defined types of decision strategies that voters employ to help decide which candidate to support are described and operationally-defined. Individual and campaign-related factors that lead voters to adopt one or another of these strategies are examined. Most importantly, this research proposes a new normative focus for the scientific study of voting behavior: we should care about not just which candidate received the most votes, but also how many citizens voted correctly - that is, in accordance with their own fully-informed preferences.

Recenzii

"How Voters Decide: Information Processing during Election Campaigns is a major contribution to our understanding of voting behavior, decision making, and political psychology. Richard Lau and David Redlawsk have employed an innovative methodology to investigate the processes by which voters make sense of the enormous flow of information in a election campaign. The research is carefully designed and analyzed and the results yield insights into mechanisms of political information processing that are normally hidden from view by the standard research methods used in political science. This research shows how the strategies that people use to process information affect the electoral decisions they make and, ultimately, the extent to which elections truly represent the interests of voters." Stanley Feldman, Stony Brook University
"This innovative and exciting book sheds new light on the mysterious process at the heart of democracy: how voters choose among candidates. Lau and Redlawsk develop a range of new techniques to illuminate the otherwise hidden process of candidate choice with consistently interesting and often unexpected results." Martin Gilens, Princeton University
"This book is potentially a landmark in the history of voting behavior research. It takes on the whole structure of theory about voting in virtually all its aspects, about as wide-ranging as The American Voter of 40 years ago, and does so with unusual quality." James Stimson, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
"The authors have provided a fresh, innovative perspective...for graduate students, faculty and researchers in political science. it is required reading. Highly recommended." -- Choice
"This book will be of interest to political scientists and cognitive psychologists for its innovative methodology." PsycCritiques
"Anyone committed to understanding voter behavior should read this book, which integrates many years of research. How Voters Decide offeres a novel approach to studying voter cognition, and it yields provocative and detailed findings about memory, heuristics, and decision making that go far beyond this brief review." - John Gastil, University of Washington
"How Voters Decide makes three critical contributions: proposing a process-oriented framework, testing this framework, using a dynamic information environment, and outlining a variety of findings that raise critical questions for future research." - Samuel J. Abrams, Harvard University
