RESUMEN

Este artículo presenta una aproximación a la participación política convencional desde una perspectiva psicosocial. Partiendo de una crítica al confusionismo y escaso valor predictivo proporcionado por las variables sociodemográficas, se analiza la contribución del constructo de «powerlessness» a la explicación de la conducta de voto. Se discute la multidimensionalidad del constructo y sus posibilidades para la comprensión de la problemática de la abstención electoral.

Abstract

This paper presents an aproximation to the conventional political participation from a psycosocial perspective. On the base of a critic to the confusion created by the socio demographic variables and their poor predictive value, this study analyzes the contribution of the construct of powerlessness to the explanation of the voting behaviour. The multidimensionality of the contruct and its posibilities to comprehend the electoral non-participation problematic is discussed.
