Beyond Total Effects: Exploring the Interplay of Personality and Attitudes in Affecting Turnout in the 2009 German Federal Election (2013, background): “These results are in accordance with analyses that addressed the impact of altruism on turnout in particular (Fowler 2006b; Fowler & Kam 2007; Blais & Labbé StVincent 2010).”
Turnout as a Habit (2011, background): “Other scholarly work on this question has primarily placed the development of regular voting patterns as a result of one or all of these related factors (see also Fowler 2006; Kanazawa 2000; Valentino et al. 2009).”
Voting as a Rational Choice (2007, unknown): “Bendor, Diermeier, and Ting (2003) and Fowler (2005b) also present feedback models for voter turnout but they differ from ours in relying on “satisficing” rather than utility maximization.”
Two Genes Predict Voter Turnout (2008, unknown): “Although Fowler, Baker, and Dawes (2008) have already shown that a large fraction of the variation in voter turnout and political participation can be attributed to genetic factors, to date no speciﬁc genes have been identiﬁed in this process.”
