通常把投票说成是“习惯性的”。但这意味着什么呢？在心理学中，习惯是重复反应和表现环境的稳定特征之间的认知关联。因此，“投票习惯”最好通过重复行为和一致的性能设置的指数来衡量。一旦习惯联想形成，即使没有支持信念和动机，反应也可以被暗示。因此，构成标准的基于认知的投票率账户的一部分的变量应该与那些有强烈习惯的人的投票率相关性更弱。我们从大量的ANES调查中获得证据来测试这些假设并找到强有力的支持。
It is conventional to speak of voting as “habitual.” But what does this mean? In psychology, habits are cognitive associations between repeated responses and stable features of the performance context. Thus, “turnout habit” is best measured by an index of repeated behavior and a consistent performance setting. Once habit associations form, the response can be cued even in the absence of supporting beliefs and motivations. Therefore, variables that form part of the standard cognitive-based accounts of turnout should be more weakly related to turnout among those with a strong habit. We draw evidence from a large array of ANES surveys to test these hypotheses and find strong support.
