Individual's Personality Traits and Political Party Membership the Moderating Role of Voter Interest in the Impact of Voter Turnout

Öz

This study investigates the moderating role of voter involvement in the relationship between personality traits and political party membership. The main assumption is that personality traits influence voter involvement in political participation. The study was conducted with 477 participants aged 18 and over in Türkiye. The findings show that voter involvement is positively associated with extraversion, openness, and political membership, while neuroticism has no significant effect. Extroverted and open-minded individuals tend to be more interested in political processes, and politically active individuals show greater political interest. Political party membership is negatively related to agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness, suggesting that more cooperative, responsible, or open-minded individuals are less likely to join political organizations. In addition, political membership moderates the effects of extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness on voter involvement, whereas neuroticism does not play a moderating role. These personality traits reduce voter involvement at low and medium levels of political membership. However, as political membership increases, their influence weakens and eventually becomes insignificant.
