Polls, coalition signals and strategic voting: An experimental investigation of perceptions and effects
Segnalazione bibliografica.
European Journal of Political Research, online version
Autori: Micheal F. Effert, Thomas Gschwend
Abstract
Polls and coalition signals can help strategic voters in multiparty systems with proportional representation and coalition governments to optimise their vote decision. Using a laboratory experiment embedded in two real election campaigns, this study focuses on voters' attention to and perception of polls and coalition signals. The manipulation of polls and coalition signals allows a causal test of their influence on strategic voting in a realistic environment. The findings suggest that active information acquisition to form fairly accurate perceptions of election outcomes can compensate for the advantage...
Il congresso scientifico SISP 2019: undici presentazioni CISE
Settembre si apre con l’evento annuale più importante per la scienza politica italiana: il convegno annuale della Società Italiana di Scienza Politica.

Abstract:
This paper examines the responsiveness of populist parties to the
salience of issues amongst the public focusing on a large number of
issues on which parties campaign during elections. The paper
investigates both left- and right-wing populist parties comparatively in
three countries, namely Austria, Germany and Italy. We find that while
populist parties carry out an...
Can the class cleavage still explain support for left-wing parties?
*This post has been originally published on the LSE EUROPP Blog
The electoral strength of left-wing parties has traditionally been linked to the size and nature of a country’s working class and the existence of strong organisations such as trade unions. But are these ‘class cleavage’ factors still important in today’s politics? Drawing on a new study, Vincenzo Emanuele finds that while the characteristics of the working class are still a significant predictor of votes for the left, the importance of the organisational dimension has largely disappeared over the last two decades.
Correlation not Causation: The Relationship between Personality Traits and Political Ideologies
Segnalazione bibliografica.
Autori: Brad Verhulst, Lindon J. Eaves, Peter K. Hatemi
American Journal of Political Science 56(1), 34-51 (January 2012)
Abstract
The assumption in the personality and politics literature is that a person's personality motivates them to develop certain political attitudes later in life. This assumption is founded on the simple correlation between the two constructs and the observation that personality traits are genetically influenced and develop in infancy, whereas political preferences develop later in life. Work in psychology, behavioral genetics, and recently political science, however, has demonstrated that political preferences also develop in childhood and are equally influenced by genetic factors. These findings cast...
