Political Alienation and Voting Turnout in the United States, 1960-1988

By Kevin Chen

Using 1960-1988 cumulative survey data from the National Election Study, this research explores the major sources of the changes in political alienation and voting turnout. The study identifies four basic dimensions of political alienation; uses regression and algebraic decomposition methods to examine the increases in alienation and decline in voter turnout; probes the relationship between the two; and examines the sources for the decline in turnout.
