Abstract: We analyze the British public’s response to the policy polarization – and subsequent depolarization – of the Labour and Conservative parties over the period 1970-2005. Using election panel studies, we analyze the extent to which rank-and file voters adjusted their partisan allegiances in response to the parties’ policy shifts, and also how voters’ partisan adjustments varied across time and across different electoral subconstituencies. Our results suggest that while British voters adjust their partisan loyalties in response to parties’ policy shifts, significant time lags intervene before voters update these loyalties. We also find that the magnitude of voters’ partisan adjustments varies sharply across subconstituencies, and that voters’ current partisanship, along with their perceptions of the parties’ current policy differences, reflect the political environment during voters’ young adulthood. Our findings have important implications for mass-elite policy linkages and for parties’ election strategies. |

Paper presented at the annual meeting of the The Association For Women in Psychology, Golden Gateway Holiday Inn, San Francisco, CA, Mar 08, 2007 <Not Available>. 2009-12-05 <http://www.allacademic.com/meta/p168118_index.html>Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript
Abstract: Identity conflicts at the intersection of sexual and conservative religious orientations are explored. We will present a therapeutic approach aimed at giving personal meaning to the conflict, enabling flexible resolutions that do not compromise well-being. Multicultural counseling, psychology of religion, symbolic interactionism, and identity development theories will provide theoretical frameworks. |
