1. rational choice theory

A. history and culture are irrelevant to understanding political behavior; instead, it is sufficient to know the actors’ interests and to assume that they pursue them rationally.

2.systems analysis

B. can be defined as the political psychology of a country or nation (or subgroup thereof). It studies attempt to uncover deep-seated, long-held values characteristic of a society or group rather than ephemeral attitudes toward specific issues that might be gathered through public-opinion surveys. Several major studies using a political culture approach appeared simultaneously with the behavioral studies of the late 1950s, adding psychological and anthropological insights to statistical covariance.

3. political culture

C. is a broad descriptive theory of how the various parts and levels of a political system interact with each other. The central idea of systems analysis is based on an analogy with biology: just as the heart, lungs, and blood function as a whole, so do the components of social and political systems. When one component changes or comes under stress, the other components will adjust to compensate.

4. behavioralism

D. which was one of the dominant approaches in the 1950s and 1960s, is the view that the subject matter of political science should be limited to phenomena that are independently observable and quantifiable. It assumes that political institutions largely reflect underlying social forces and that the study of politics should begin with society, culture, and public opinion.
