?:abstract
  • Although it is said that the way in which voters make up their mind is getting more complex, the characteristics of the parties only rarely come into view when studying voting behavior. The main approaches of electoral behavior seem to assume that all voters use the same criteria to assess all parties. In contrast, this chapter builds on the literature challenging that view of ‘evaluation homogeneity’ by focusing on party-specific vote functions. Comparative analyses and an in-depth study of the 2009 German election show that the causes of party choice are not identical for different parties. Instead, party size and extremity of party positions, for example, shape the relevance of different voting motives: Leader evaluations are more important for larger parties and issue positions are more important for more extreme parties. The results support the claim that the factors shaping electoral behavior have a significantly different magnitude of influence for different parties. (xsd:string)
