The purpose of this research is to examine how social structure affects individual political participation. I propose to conduct survey research that examines how social interaction affects individual political activity in electoral campaigns. The survey design is a cross-sectional study in St. Louis, Missouri that gathers information on the extent to which people's social relationships expose them to information, requests to be active in politics, and civic skills that can lead to political activity. The primary goal of this research is to add to our understanding of why people participate in American electoral politics. As a result, my design incorporates a component which administers the survey questionanire to the political discussants of activists. This design feature allows us to track the flow of information, skills, and requests for participation through the social structure.

本研究旨在探讨社会结构对个人政治参与的影响。 我建议进行调查研究，探讨社会互动如何影响选举活动中的个人政治活动。 调查设计是在密苏里州圣路易斯进行的一项横断面研究，收集有关人们的社会关系使他们接触信息的程度、积极参与政治的请求以及可能导致政治活动的公民技能的信息。活动。这项研究的主要目标是增加我们对人们参与美国选举政治的原因的理解。 因此，我的设计包含了一个组件，它管理调查questionanire的活动家的政治讨论。 这种设计功能使我们能够跟踪信息流，技能，并通过社会结构的参与请求。
