The objectives were to describe the extent of this kind of participation among Spaniards aged 65 and over, and to analyze the factors that are associated with it. Results show that only slightly less than 7 % of the sample belonged to a political organization. To analyze the factors related to this membership, a set of models of multivariate analyses were run, including socioeconomic resources and participation in other types of active aging activity (participation in leisure, learning, and productive activities). Educational level, leisure activities, learning activities, and only volunteering in the case of productive activities were found to be associated with membership in political organizations. Results provide partial support for the socioeconomic resources model and suggest that engagement in leisure activities, learning activities, and volunteering might have an enhancing effect on membership in political organizations.Springer Verlag2025202520152025info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion9 p.application/pdfhttps://hdl.handle.net/2445/217877Articles publicats en revistes (Cognició, Desenvolupament i Psicologia de l'Educació)reponame:Recercat.
