Ranking the cultural attributes influencing Voting Behaviors in Elections based on Gabriel Almond’s Structural Functional Approach.
Abstract
The objective of the present study is finding an answer to the question as to what are the most important cultural (attitudinal) factors and barriers of exhibiting a voting behavior based on individual and social rationality in elections. The present study is an applied research and carried out based on a descriptive-analytical method. The obtained results are indicative of the idea that, amongst the cultural factors, language and dialect (with an impact coefficient of 0.97 and a significance value equal to 17.26) have the highest positive effect hence taking the first rank.
