RT Journal Article T1 Components of the Vote for Non-Independence Parties: Regional Elections in Catalonia 2017 A1 Lagares Díez, Nieves A1 Maneiro Crespo, Elba A1 López Rodríguez, Alfonso Antonio K1 Catalan Elections K1 Emotions K1 Vote K1 Non-Independence Parties K1 Procés AB The lengthy political crisis in Catalonia highlights the incapacity of the Spanish Government and the Generalitat of Catalonia to find a political solution to this conflict. Facing a situation of this exceptionality and so prolonged in time, an innumerable number of articles and research papers have been published from Political Science. However, very few authors have decided to tackle the influence of emotions on the voting decisions of the Catalans; and even fewer, through a quantitative analysis. In this artcile, we decided to analyse the elements that compose the vote for the main non-independence political parties (PSC and C’s) in the 2017 Catalan elections, including components of an emotional nature. To this end, we will use the survey carried out by the Equipo de Investigaciones Políticas to develop two structural equation models (SEM), one for each of these parties, in which we will incorporate emotions along with other “classic” voting variables.
