Abstract:

This paper is a preliminary attempt to map the attitudinal underpinnings of partisan preference in seven countries on the basis of a multidimensional and cross-nationally comparable battery of questions dealing with sociopolitical values that have commonly had considerable relevance to partisan politics. These items (which fall between the high level of abstraction of the personality attributes often used by political psychologists in their studies of values, at one extreme, and the specificity of the highly transient and idiographic "issues" that figure so prominently in most election studies, at the other) were deduced from attitudinal domains inherent within major political ideologies that emerged over the past three centuries and have had considerable impact on party development, electoral behavior and, more generally, political conflict in many countries, particularly in Western Europe. As we will demonstrate, these values have exerted a profound impact on electoral behavior in several countries even after the effects of other determinants of the vote have been "controlled" in previous stages of a stepwise multivariate analysis. Indeed, in three of the four countries within which coherent values clusters emerged from previous stages of analysis, the explanatory power of these values is substantially greater than that of all social-cleavage variables combined.
