Patterns of association voting behavior: I. Demographic correlates of voting/nonvoting and preference for candidates/issues
Abstract
A total of 58% of the eligible members voted in the 1974 APA balloting involving 6 officers, 13 amendments to the By-Laws, and a membership- initiated referendum. Analysis revealed that there was no significant relationship between member characteristics and voting/nonvoting behavior and that relatively few members followed specific voting patterns. The data support the view that most members voted carefully and relatively independently of organized influence.
