The Micro-Foundations of Party Competition and Issue Ownership: The Reciprocal Effects of Citizens’ Issue Salience and Party Attachments

“…The study contains various samples, such as separate Eastern German and refreshment samples; however, we limit our analysis to West German citizens. We exclude East Germans and immigrants as the nature of partisanship and political attitudes differs for these groups due to their different socialization experiences (Kroh 2014; Neundorf 2009).…”

“…While the middle‐aged are more likely to engage in politics and develop strong partisan identities, interest in politics diminishes in the later stages of life, producing a curvilinear relationship between age and partisanship. Overall, empirical research tends to corroborate the ‘experience hypothesis’, namely that the predominant pattern is one in which partisan attachments become stronger as voters get older (Kroh, 2014; Dassonneville, 2017).…”

The lasting impact of adolescence on left-right identification: Cohort replacement and intracohort change in associations with issue attitudes

“…As such, the socialization perspective proposes that overtime changes occur primarily through the replacement of existing voters by new generations that are shaped by the political environment during their early life (e.g., Hooghe, 2004;Mannheim, 1964;Ryder, 1965;Tilley, 2005).
