Abstract:

In this paper, we examine the correlates of horizontally constrained liberalism-conservatism in the U.S., in an effort to gain understanding of the ideational elements of political socialization. We concentrate on a provocative new theory put forward by cognitive linguist George Lakoff, who argues that many people reflexively envision proper power relations between citizens and government based on their understanding of proper power relations between children and parents. According to the theory, “nurturant” visions of parental authority engender egalitarian and humanitarian political values, while “disciplinarian” family values predict political individualism and traditionalism. Using data obtained from the 2000 National Election Study, we consider the empirical mettle of this account, and compare its predictive capacity to that of other potential determinants, including the micro-foundational elements of Hunter’s Culture Wars thesis.
