Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

A Concept in MotionPolitical behavior refers to the actions, feelings, and attitudes of individuals and groups regarding politics.By definition, it is quite broad.It includes both actions (e.g., voting, volunteering for a political campaign, protesting, discussing politics, or other forms of political activism) and orientations (e.g., partisanship, policy preferences, or beliefs) through which individuals relate to the political world.Political behavior is often operationalized through vote choice alone (Emmenegger et al., 2015;Mancosu et al., 2021;Pianzola et al., 2019), despite the concept's broader theoretical scope. 1 However, as traditional forms of political participation decline, the current literature increasingly examines novel and informal ways of engaging politics.In that sense, political behavior is a concept both rich and unstable, frequently redefined in light of new social or contextual

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
