Preferred term

rational voter model  

Definition

  • THE RATIONAL VOTER model is one of the major alternative explanations of voting behavior to arise in the wake of the now-classic American Voter study by Angus Campbell, Phillip Converse, Warren Miller, and Donald Stokes, released in 1960. While it was not the first in-depth examination of voter behavior, it is certainly the most influential and controversial.
