什么使人们加入政党，是党员研究中最常研究的问题之一。然而，几乎所有这些研究都是基于与实际参加派对的人交谈。本文同时分析了英国政党成员的调查和这些政党的非成员支持者的调查。这使我们能够对加入政党的决定进行建模。结果表明，构成有影响力的“一般激励模型”的大多数要素是显着的。但它也揭示出，虽然政党支持者认为选择性利益、社会规范和反对对手政党的政策是成员决定加入一个政党的关键因素，但那些真正加入的人更有可能说，他们的动机是对本党价值观、政策和领导人的依恋，以及更广泛地支持民主的利他主义愿望。
Abstract What makes people join a political party is one of the most commonly studied questions in research on party members. Nearly all this research, however, is based on talking to people who have actually joined parties. This article simultaneously analyses surveys of members of political parties in Britain and surveys of non-member supporters of those same parties. This uniquely enables us to model the decision to join parties. The results suggest that most of the elements that constitute the influential ‘General Incentives Model’ are significant. But it also reveals that, while party supporters imagine that selective benefits, social norms and opposing rival parties’ policies are key factors in members’ decisions to join a party, those who actually do so are more likely to say they are motivated by attachments to their party’s values, policies and leaders, as well as by an altruistic desire to support democracy more generally.
