21 p, 955.0 KB Beyond rationalization : voting out of duty or expressing duty after voting? / Galais Gonzàlez, Carolina (Université de Montréal) ; Blais, André (Université de Montréal)
It is a standard practice to include a Duty term in explanatory models of turnout. Yet the relationship between duty and voting is not that clear. Does duty really trigger voting or is it the reverse? To address this question, we present cross-lagged panel estimations of the impact of duty on turnout and of turnout on duty with two different datasets: a two-wave panel Canadian survey conducted in 2008 and 2009 and a four-wave Spanish panel conducted between 2010 and 2012.

15 p, 1.1 MB Is there a gender gap in the sense of duty to vote? / Galais Gonzàlez, Carolina (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament de Ciència Política i de Dret Públic) ; Blais, André (Université de Montréal. Département de Science Politique)
The topic of gender differences in the propensity to vote has been a central theme in political behavior studies for more than seventy years. When trying to explain why the turnout gender gap has shrunk over the last few decades, some scholars have claimed that this might be due to the fact that women are more dutiful than men; however, no study to date has systematically addressed gender differences regarding the sense of civic duty to vote.
