“…These findings pose a challenge and an opportunity for social scientists. Political scientists tend to favor explanations based on stable, deeply held partisan or ideological predispositions (10,11). The predictive power of demographic traits evaporates when subjected to multiple regression analyses that control for other characteristics correlated with those demographics.…”

“…The long-term endurance of these effects has important implications: If racial exposure is associated with behavior over seven decades later, especially on a characteristic with as much overtime stability as partisanship, it may be that the influence of these earlylife experiences is also present in intervening decades, when people are active in politics and the workforce, and that the influence may be present in a range of sociopolitical behaviors and attitudes (35). Partisanship can be characterized as a social identity (36) that is closely tied to a person's self-image and, hence, is a powerful predictor of behavior (37). Party membership has been shown to induce a range of behaviors, including the type of group-based bias that characterizes race-based social identities (38).…”

Childhood cross-ethnic exposure predicts political behavior seven decades later: Evidence from linked administrative data

Does contact across social groups influence sociopolitical behavior? This question is among the most studied in the social sciences with deep implications for the harmony of diverse societies. Yet, despite a voluminous body of scholarship, evidence around this question is limited to cross-sectional surveys that only measure short-term consequences of contact or to panel surveys with small samples covering short time periods. Using advances in machine learning that enable large-scale linkages across datasets, we examine the long-term determinants of sociopolitical behavior through an unprecedented individual-level analysis linking contemporary political records to the 1940 U.S. Census. These linked data allow us to measure the exact residential context of nearly every person in the United States in 1940 and, for men, connect this with the political behavior of those still alive over 70 years later. We find that, among white Americans, early-life exposure to black neighbors predicts Democratic partisanship over 70 years later.

“…For example, Goren (2005, p. 881) proved through panel analysis ‘that partisan identities are more stable than the principles of equal opportunity, limited government, traditional family values and moral tolerance; partisan identity constrains equal opportunity, limited government, and moral tolerance; and these political values do not constrain party identification’. This so‐called expressive partisanship is grounded in social identity theory (Bankert et al, 2017), which means that citizens as individuals may feel a sense of belonging with the party (Green et al, 2002).…”

Exploring class identification among Finnish party members

Class cleavage has been an important factor in forming the West‐European party systems, and class identification can still be considered one of the key types of social identity, especially among members of older parties. Nevertheless, previous research has ignored the importance of party members' class identifications. In this study, we hypothesise that party affiliation can form a context of social identity in which party members' class identification is also strengthened. By analysing unique survey data of 12,427 members of the six largest Finnish parties, we examine the extent to which party members' class identifications stem from their party affiliations and how the relationship is reinforced by their partisan identity. The results suggest that traditional class‐cleavage elements still appear within class identification among the members of older parties. Members of left‐wing parties identified with the working class, and conversely, upper‐class identification was more prominent among members of centre‐right parties. Among members of newer political parties, the class was less relevant compared to members of traditional class‐based parties. Furthermore, we found that working‐class identification was strongly related to the strength of partisan identity.
