Abstract
- This paper describes a research study carried out with 709 psychology students from different universities from Nicaragua, El Salvador, Chile and Spain. Electoral participation of the students and its relationship with different variables such as sociodemographic characteristics, hopelessness, number of stressful life events, attitude towards politics and institutions, etc., were analyzed. Nationality, financial situation, interest about politics, gender or to be far from home predicts the electoral participation of the participants. But hopelessness is not an important variable to explain electoral participation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
