Appeals To Vote
Social pressure has been found to be a major influence on many people's decision to vote.

People are often to vote because they want to fit in.

"People who are seen as believable and smart are more likely to hit/affect our decisions.

People tend to vote for the candidate who they feel best protects their country, their thinking, and their freedoms.

Appeals to person fears are therefore a common method of swaying people' opinions during elections.

People are strongly influenced by leaders who are confident, have, seem emotionally strong,, positive-thinking, and action-focused, Avant adds.

Because people differ in the information they use to select a candidate, politicians must decide whether to use emotional or thinking-related appeals

    The United States of America is the world’s largest democracy. Every four years they hold presidential elections in which the public is to determine by vote who wins. The American people through decision and judgment cast out there vote to who they believe is the best person to lead their country. They must base their decision on what they see through media reports on television, newspapers and what they hear on the radio and from fellow citizens. The decision in the end is made through the influences of the 4 ways of knowing: emotion, language, perception and reason. Emotion is a key way of knowing as it forms the ground base for weather they like the candidate or not. Language and reason form the base of the decision as they convey the aims of each candidate through the reasons they give and the language they use to present those reasons. They perceive how the candidates take action in their campaign and in the debates to guide themselves to what they think is the right decision.…

    People in society today have influences throughout their life that help structure and dictate their thoughts. Choices are made based on these influences, and when these influences begin to take shape as different labels, no real choices are made. People begin to compromise their right to think on their own and instead turn to the most convenient choice. This is how a great deal of society has acts today, choosing the easiest path just so that person can get a given task out of the way and continue on with their life. These influences are frequently seen in politics today. People become so wrapped up in political parties that they become more interested in who is running in which party, instead of which candidate, at any level of government, has the stances that the voter agrees with the most. According to “The Loss of the Creature” and “Ways of Seeing”, multiple aspects of having the labels the political parties have inhibit voters from making sovereign decisions. When a candidate is running for an office, they should not have a political party label attached to them because that label can inhibit voters from choosing a candidate who they think will best serve the position to better the region they are running for.…

    There are many factors that affect voting behaviour such as, the voters age, the voter gender, or even where they’ve been bought up. The election campaign is the months before the general election where various parties try and get as much support as possible. Some may argue that the campaign is now more important than the long term factors which shaped voting behaviour.…

    This is a respond to the article, “The Halo Effect: Evidence for Unconscious Alternation of Judgement” by Richard E. Nisbett and Timothy DeCamp Wilson (1977). I relate this article to the presidential election of 2016 between Donald Trump and Hilary Clinton. The appearance of both Trump and Hilary, as well speeches and hidden past coming to light, has effect on American votes, such as myself. Having Trump who does not have political, but business background and his tone, as well the topics he like to discuss, possibly has an effect on how I will vote. As for Hilary, her history with politics, controversial events, as well her appearance has an effect, which possibly has an effect on how I will vote. The halo effect using the election might…

    The word "vote" leads to many numerous reactions from people. Some become argumentative and begin to reveal their opinions on different political conflicts while others attempt to avoid the topic at all times. Many Americans do not follow politics closely and vote for parties that are aligned with the social groups to which they belong. People also vote based off their perceived judgments made about the incumbent parties’ previous actions or the situations that occurred during their period in office. Policy choice is another factor that influences vote choice as well.…

    To understand, consider the classic “calculus of voting” model, R = PB - C + D, first proposed by Downs (1957) and later adapted by Riker and Ordeshook (1968), where R is the reward gained from voting in a given election, P is the probability of a vote influencing the outcome of the election, B is the differential benefit of one candidate winning over the other, C is the cost of voting (e.g., time and effort spent), and D is the psychological benefit of voting derived from things like feelings of civic duty or altruism. Most scholarship on voting has assumed—either explicitly or implicitly—that inclement weather impacts elections only through increasing C, the actual costs associated with voting (e.g., through causing poor driving conditions), and therefore that inclement weather might only impact election outcomes through its effect on voter turnout. In contrast, we argue that inclement weather also impacts voting behavior through its effect on D, the psychology of the voter, and through the individual’s perception of the values of P and B. Therefore, we contend that precipitation might impact not only voter turnout, but also voters’ choices at the…

    Voter turnout and political efficacy amongst a people are crucial to the proper maintenance of a democratic society. In order for changes to be made and the largest amount of voices to be heard, people must feel like their vote counts, and that a direct result to their vote is a response from the government. As former US President Dwight David Eisenhower once quoted, “The future of this republic is in the hands of the American voter,” and for this reason political scientists commonly inquire on what factors cause a variance in voter turnout. These factors may be socio-economic, do age, income, culture or religion play a role in who votes and who doesn’t? ; political affiliation, do democrats vote more than republicans, or vice-versa? ; or education, does a person’s level of education cause variance in their turnout?…
