Resumen
- español
  Este artículo analiza la relación entre las emociones y la participación electoral. Se pregunta cuáles de ellas incentivan o inhiben el voto, y si tienen o no el mismo rol en distintos grupos etarios. Para este análisis utilizamos los resultados de una encuesta realizada en Chile para las elecciones de 2017. La evidencia indica primero que, a nivel de la población general, efectivamente existe una relación entre el miedo y el optimismo y la decisión de votar. Segundo, que en el caso de la población joven esta asociación es aún más relevante. Tercero, la rabia no estaría vinculada a la decisión de votar.

  This article analyzes the association between emotions and electoral participation. It asks which encourages or inhibits the vote and whether or not they play the same role in different age groups. To address these questions, we use the results of a survey conducted in Chile during the 2017 elections. It is argued, first, that among the general population, fear and optimism play a role in the decision of the vote. Second, in young people’s case, these emotions play an even more significant role. Third, anger is not related to the decision to vote.
