28Negative Voting: A Brief Literature ReviewIn Diego Garzia & Frederico Ferreira da Silva (eds.), Negative Voting in Comparative Perspective, Springer Nature Switzerland. pp. 7-12. 2024.We start by reviewing the brief literature on negative voting, highlighting the main theoretical perspectives on the phenomenon. While negative voting has been originally conceptualized in rational choice terms, under the framework of retrospective/economic voting, or in connection to long-lasting political identities, we propose to specify and test an additional dimension stemming from the most recent literature on affective polarization.

30Measuring Negative Voting in Democratic ElectionsIn Diego Garzia & Frederico Ferreira da Silva (eds.), Negative Voting in Comparative Perspective, Springer Nature Switzerland. pp. 13-15. 2024.We discuss issues related with the measurement of negative voting in multi-party democracies. Using proxies of negative voting questions from pre-existent data sources, we are able to get a rough sense of the relevance of negative voting in different elections. Nonetheless, the limited availability of these items across countries hinders comparative analyses. Most importantly, concerns regarding measurement equivalence across elections make these suboptimal instruments for the purposes of this s…Read more

26The Normative Implications of Negative VotingIn Diego Garzia & Frederico Ferreira da Silva (eds.), Negative Voting in Comparative Perspective, Springer Nature Switzerland. pp. 67-75. 2024.In this chapter, we engage with the normative implications of negative voting for democratic representation. Is negative voting necessarily bad for democracy? We address these issues through two exercises. First, we simulate the outcome of the elections under analysis had nobody cast a negative vote, to get a sense of the impact of negative voting on election outcomes. Second, we compare negative voters with abstainers, to understand to what extent do the two groups differ, and whether negative …Read more

30The Socio-Demographic Profile of Negative VotersIn Diego Garzia & Frederico Ferreira da Silva (eds.), Negative Voting in Comparative Perspective, Springer Nature Switzerland. pp. 23-26. 2024.This chapter characterizes negative voters in terms of their sociodemographic profile. We focus in particular on respondents’ age, gender, educational level and levels of interest in politics. We perform correlation analyses and show that negative voters tend to be older and relatively uninterested in political matters.

36Negative Voting and Affective PolarizationIn Diego Garzia & Frederico Ferreira da Silva (eds.), Negative Voting in Comparative Perspective, Springer Nature Switzerland. pp. 61-66. 2024.This section of our empirical analysis connects negative voting to affective polarization (AP) looking at both its quantity and its polarity. Results show that voters characterized by higher levels on the quantity of AP (i.e., the extent to which they like the in-party more than the out-party) are actually less likely to cast a negative vote. When it comes to the polarity of affect (i.e., the extent to which affect for the in-party overcomes disdain for the out-party), however, we find that nega…Read more

23In-group Affect, Out-group Disdain, and Negative VotingIn Diego Garzia & Frederico Ferreira da Silva (eds.), Negative Voting in Comparative Perspective, Springer Nature Switzerland. pp. 53-60. 2024.This chapter tackles the relationship between negative voting and its proposed affective component. Our findings show that negative affect is present among positive and negative voters alike. Contrary to the most immediate expectation that negative voting would be the product of disproportionate negativity among negative voters, however, the results contained in this chapter show that the distinctive feature of negative voters is their low level of in-group affect vis-a-vis positive voters.

30Anti-incumbency and Negative VotingIn Diego Garzia & Frederico Ferreira da Silva (eds.), Negative Voting in Comparative Perspective, Springer Nature Switzerland. pp. 27-35. 2024.A clearer pattern stands out regarding the political profile of negative voters. The findings from the analysis of the magnitude and direction of negative voting in the different countries confirm the intuition that negative voting is largely motivated by a reaction to incumbency performance. Negative voters hold more negative views of the country’s economic performance and therefore engage more frequently in anti-incumbency voting.

26Media Usage and Negative VotingIn Diego Garzia & Frederico Ferreira da Silva (eds.), Negative Voting in Comparative Perspective, Springer Nature Switzerland. pp. 41-51. 2024.In this chapter, we explore the relationship between exposure to political information in old and new media, and negative voting in the five elections analyzed. The results suggest that consumers of political information on newspapers and television generally tend to vote for, rather than against. Contrary to our original expectation, negative voters do not seem to be avid political news’ consumers whose attitudes are largely contaminated by the degree of negativity in political communication. A…Read more

27Partisanship, Ideology, and Negative VotingIn Diego Garzia & Frederico Ferreira da Silva (eds.), Negative Voting in Comparative Perspective, Springer Nature Switzerland. pp. 37-40. 2024.The analyses presented in this chapter show quite clearly that negative voting is inversely related to the strength of partisanship. The largest share of negative voters in each country is to be found among independents and leaners. The results also show that negative voters are less aligned ideologically with the party they voted for than positive voters. In other words, much like observed with partisanship, feelings of ideological closeness to the in-party tend to depress negative voting and f…Read more

32ConclusionsIn Diego Garzia & Frederico Ferreira da Silva (eds.), Negative Voting in Comparative Perspective, Springer Nature Switzerland. pp. 77-80. 2024.The last chapter takes stock of the empirical evidence collected throughout the study, discusses its most notable implications at the normative level, and outlines an agenda for future research in the field. The role that affective polarization can play in furthering our understanding of voters’ behavior is thoroughly discussed.

38The Negative Voting Dataset: 2020–2022In Diego Garzia & Frederico Ferreira da Silva (eds.), Negative Voting in Comparative Perspective, Springer Nature Switzerland. pp. 17-22. 2024.Through a set of CAWI surveys fielded in the context of the latest elections in Canada, Germany, France, the Netherlands, and the United States, held between 2020 and 2022, we retrieve data on negative voting covering presidential, semi-presidential, Westminster parliamentary and proportional parliamentary systems. Our results show that negative voting is present across all elections, but with significant variation across the different countries.

40Negative Voting in Comparative PerspectiveSpringer Nature Switzerland. 2024.Why do some people conceive their vote choices as mostly against, rather than for a given party/candidate? Who are these negative voters? What macro-level conditions favor the development of negative voting? This volume provides answers to these questions through the first comparative assessment of negative voting in contemporary democracies. It presents a composite theoretical framework for the analysis of negative voting and tests it extensively on originally collected survey data from Canada,…Read more

54Reflexões metadialéticas sobre o élenkhos na Apologia de Sócrates e no Górgias, de PlatãoRevista Ética E Filosofia Política 2 (25): 110-139. 2023.Platão, em seus diálogos de juventude, apresenta Sócrates recorrendo a uma prática de perguntas e respostas direcionada aos seus interlocutores que visa o teste das pretensões de conhecimento e de sabedoria dos membros da pólis. Essa prática é a refutação socrática, frequentemente associada ao termo grego élenkhos e seus cognatos. Embora se utilize dessa prática de forma frequente, nenhum diálogo a trata como elemento central. Entretanto, podemos encontrar comentários de Platão ao longo de sua o…Read more
