This dissertation aimed to identify the relationships between voting intention and religious, educational and values aspects. Two studies were conducted, each one with two steps. Study 1 initially gathered evidence of validity and reliability of the Voting Intention by Political Positions Scale and the Non-conventional Political Participation Scale. Participated 374 undergraduate students with a mean age of 23.7 years (SD = 7.25). For the first instrument, its items were grouped into a single factor that explained 78.2% of the variance (α = 0.95). The second measure had its three-factor structure supported by a Principal Component Analysis (PC): legal demonstration (α = 0.74), violence using (α = 0.62) and passive participation (α = 0.69), which together account for 49% of the variance. Participated in the second stage 351 students with a mean age of 23.7 years (SD = 7.28), answering the above measures and: Basic Values Survey, Religious Practices Scale, Religious Beliefs Scale and a list of attributes. Hypothetical candidate profiles were randomly distributed, deriving from religious orientation vs schooling. The results showed positive correlations between Catholic and Protestant beliefs with the Catholic and Evangelical profiles voting intention, respectively; higher definition by positive attributes and higher voting intention on the profiles with higher education level; and values congruence between participants and candidates in general. About the Study 2, participants were 226 people online recruited, with a mean age of 24.9 (SD = 5.77). This first stage focused on the psychometric properties of the Religious Fundamentalism Scale and the Four Basic Dimensions of Religiousness Scale. For the first one, it was found a solution unifactorial through a PC, with its component explained 50% of the variance (α = 0.90). The second one had its four-factor model supported by a Confirmatory Factor Analysis [χ²/df = 2.67, GFI = 0.91, AGFI = 0.86, CFI = 0.97 and RMSEA = 0.08 (90% CI = 0.068 - 0.104)], with the following factors: community (α = 0.95), morality (α = 0.93), emotions (α = 0.89) and meaning (α = 0.85). The second step included 165 subjects with a mean age of 25.1 (SD = 5.47), also recruited virtually. Were applied the following instruments: Politician-religiousness IAT, Voting Intention by Political Positions Scale, the Basic Values Questionnaire, Social Dominance Orientation, and Right-Wing Authoritarianism. The results showed a faster association of the Politician-religiousness IAT’s congruent block (religious politician + positive); D score was positively correlated with fundamentalism and normative values; there was explicitly greater voting intention in the non-religious candidate, with influence of the religiousness level and the importance of religion. It is estimated that the objectives of this dissertation were achieved, contributing to the knowledge about the religious, educational and values aspects of the voting intention; and about implicit attitudes towards religious politicians.
