| dc.description.abstract | Voting behavior is a subject given considerable attention by many
political scientists in the present situation of democratization in
the post-New Order Indonesia. Although some excellent studies
have analyzed voting behavior in Indonesia and explained how
voters choose political parties and presidential candidates, they
mostly rely on both sociological and psychological models. The
sociological model relies on an understanding that religious
affinities, region, ethnicity, and social classes are important
components of voting behavior. Meanwhile, the psychological
model emphasizes the appeal of the leadership of the candidate and the self-identification with a political party (known as “Party
ID”), and considers these to be the utmost factors that shape
individual partisanship in the ballot. | en_US |
