Abstract: Abstract This paper reviews some literature using the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) to explain political participation. Related articles published in the past ten years were systematically reviewed. The findings revealed that the TPB is suitable for explaining political participation in various countries. Attitudes toward political participation, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control can predict the intention of political participation, which directly affects an individual’s behavior (political participation). Furthermore, some variables, such as political interest, social problems, and economic problems, are influential factors affecting the intention of political participation. Finally, political participation can result in the life satisfaction of people. Hence, the theoretical framework was proposed for future research.
