¿Es su voto altruista o interesado?

UncategorizedBy IIDMAsterOctober 19, 2020Leave a comment

Sabemos que el comportamiento egoísta influye en la votación de algunos temas, como el control de armas y las políticas sobre fumar, pero los académicos están divididos sobre si predomina la votación sociotrópica frente a la egoísta. Sin embargo, está claro que una mayoría interesada puede infligir mayores costos a la minoría.

Is your vote altruistic or self-interested?

Opinion-1By IIDMAsterOctober 19, 2020Leave a comment

Most (but not all) studies of voter motivation conclude that voters behave similarly to Jen Henderson, and do not vote based on their narrow self-interests. Social scientists call this altruism, “sociotropic” voting. Sociotropic voters vote on the perceived interests of society as a whole rather that on their own self-interest.
