Summary: The analysis of the abstention in the legislative elections of 1999 reveals an approximation to the pattern common to the majority of occidental democracies: the absence of a direct impact on individuals' economic and educational resources and a considerable age and family isolation effect on electoral participation. However, what was more important was the impact of political attitudes. The abstention in 1999 was a socially diffuse phenomenon, but concentrated among electors who share attitudes that are generally seen as stable and enduring: non-party membership and mistrust of the political system.

Contudo, mais importante foi o impacto das atitudes políticas. A abstenção foi um fenómeno socialmente difuso, mas concentrado em eleitores que partilham atitudes geralmente vistas como estáveis e duradouras: o desalinhamento partidário e a desconfiança em relação ao sistema político.Instituto de Ciências Sociais da Universidade de Lisboa2001-03-30info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.31447/AS00032573.2001157.09https://doi.org/10.31447/AS00032573.2001157.09Análise Social; Vol. 35 N.º 157 (2001): História Política; 1079-10932182-29990003-2573reponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAPporhttps://revistas.rcaap.pt/analisesocial/article/view/37268https://revistas.rcaap.pt/analisesocial/article/view/37268/25763Direitos de Autor (c) 2001 Análise Socialinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessC.
