Los efectos del liderazgo en el comportamiento electoral en las elecciones de 2011 en España. La influencia de los atributos

Abstract

Research on the role that political leaders play in parliamentary democracies and about the effects they have in electoral behaviour, has increased over the last decades. However, although this influence has proved in different studies, it is interesting to understand how the political leadership is built. This article addresses this question, having as a fundamental aim to determine which atributes and leadership dimensions have more influence in Spanish electoral behaviour, and in the building of political leadership for Spanish general election of 2011. For that purpose, survey data will be used by means of the logistic regression technique.
