For the first time in over three decades, here is a study explaining what political interest is, where it comes from, and why it matters. Providing the most thorough description available of political interest in four Western democracies this study analyzes large household panel data sets rarely used in political science to explain how interest develops in people's lives. In an accessible manner, the book's analytical approach pushes applied social scientists to consider how panel data can be used to better understand political behavior. It does so in a way that doesn't gloss over complexities, and explains them in straightforward language. Advanced statistical methods are presented informally, accompanied by graphical illustrations that require no prior knowledge to understand the methods used Political psychology Political participation Psychological aspects Democracy Psychological aspects Demokratie (DE-588)4011413-2 gnd Politische Beteiligung (DE-588)4076215-4 gnd Politische Psychologie (DE-588)4175034-2 gnd https://unisg.link/hm00660549 Inhaltsverzeichnis BK020000 XK020000 XK020000 IDSSG HSG HSG UG MD 6300 P958 IDSSG 100 1- Prior Markus 1974- Verfasser aut IDSSG 856 4- https://unisg.link/hm00660549 Inhaltsverzeichnis SWISSBIB 551348437
