Estudios empíricos mostraron una fuerte abstención en los jóvenes, pero en la medida que en esta variable avanza, la edad adquiere un mayor peso para explicar el comportamiento electoral (Ojha & Sah, 1990). Otros estudios mostraron la importancia de la estabilidad de clase al momento de la participación política, por ejemplo, encontraron que el hecho de contraer matrimonio puede afectar comportamientos y actitudes adquiridas antes del matrimonio (Jennings & Stoker, 2004), en especial para personas que eran muy activas en manifestaciones y organizaciones sociales, ya que las nuevas responsabilidades del matrimonio terminan dificultando el desarrollo de sus anteriores actividades.…”
