Starting from the confrontation between a conventionally sociological perspective, which stresses the role of norms, and a rational-choice perspective, which emphasizes the calculus referred to interests, the authors raise the issue of the role of cognitive factors with regard to both aspects. With recourse to survey data produced in Brazil some years ago, a rather complex mediating role is shown to be played by cognitive factors, described as ?political sofistication?, between the civic adherence to norms and the selfish or cynical promotion of self-interest.
