了解人们如何参与政治，以及是什么促使他们这样做，一直是社会科学文献中的一个持续关注的问题。在过去的十年里，学术界对抵制和购买的兴趣有所增加，抵制和购买共同构成了政治消费主义出于政治或道德原因故意购买或避免产品。然而，这些活动没有得到很好的概念化，也不清楚是什么促使人们从事政治消费主义。在本文中，我认为后物质主义价值观增加了美国政治消费主义的可能性。为了检验这一预期，我使用了原始的、具有全国代表性的美国调查数据，我发现后物质主义价值观显著增加了参与政治消费主义的可能性，而物质主义价值观则没有，对党派、意识形态和其他民主规范进行了控制。
Understanding how people engage in politics, and what motivates them to do so, has been an ongoing concern in the social science literature. Over the past decade, scholarly interest in boycotts and buycotts, which collectively comprise political consumerism-the deliberate purchase or avoidance of products for political or ethical reasons-has increased. However, these activities not been well conceptualized, and it is not clear what motivates people to engage in political consumerism. In this paper, I theorize that postmaterialist values increase the likelihood of engaging in political consumerism in the United States. To test this expectation, I use original, nationally representative U.S. survey data, and I find that postmaterialist values significantly increase the likelihood of engaging in political consumerism, while materialist values not, with controls in place for partisanship, ideology, and other democratic norms.
