Abstract
Many social scientists have been so impressed with the influence of the socio-cultural matrix on human behavior, that they have tended to see political and other participation as almost entirely determined by the social, economic, and cultural variables. The author believes political behavior cannot adequately be explained without some under standing of the interplay among the intra psychic influences, the socio-cultural opportunities and demands, and the political behavior itself.Keywords
