Abstract
This study investigates the views, attitudes, and values of young people in Greece using a multivariate data analysis workflow. The primary objective is to investigate political mobilization and its association with various political characteristics, to perceptions toward democracy and personal moral values. The main research output is a map representing the political behavior of young first-time voters. A secondary objective is to identify the most important factors which determine their vote. The study results contribute to the voting behavior literature by revealing contemporary young voters’ typologies, visualizing political competition and dynamics of political behavior, and highlighting emerging important factors which affect voting choice.
