Tribù di consumo e identità politica: stili di vita fra cleavages tradizionali e individualizzazione
No full textNel presente saggio illustriamo il dibattito interdisciplinare che si è sviluppato sul ruolo delle appartenenze sociali significative nella costruzione dell’orientamento politico e nella scelta di voto da parte dei cittadini. Presenteremo le ragioni che ci hanno portato ad esplorare il ruolo degli stili di vita, basati sulle scelte di consumo e di tempo libero, come espressione di raggruppamenti sociali caratterizzati anche da un livello significativo di omogeneità politica e come possibili fonti attuali di identificazione. Riportiamo inoltre le prove empiriche già disponibili che confermano l’esistenza di una relazione significativa fra stili di vita basati sui consumi e comportamento di voto al netto degli effetti dovuti ai fattori socio-strutturali (in primis quelli della classe sociale). Infine, indichiamo nell’approfondimento degli stili di vita come espressione di raggruppamenti sociali capaci di generare identificazione una promettente pista di ricerca futura
Fisionomia elettorale delle regioni italiane
No full textIl capitolo concentra l'attenzione sulle principali caratteristiche elettorali delle regioni italiane. I dati sono presentati in forma comparata tra il livello nazionale (elezioni politiche) e quello sub-nazionale (elezioni regionali). Il testo non solo confronta i risultati elettorali ma testa empiricamente l'ipotesi relativa alla cosiddetta nazionalizzazione dei partiti e dei risultati elettorali. I risultati preliminare mostrano che il caso italiano è in qualche misura diverso rispetto ad analoghi casi di paesi europei.The chapter focuses on the electoral characteristics of the Italian regions. Data are presented to compare the national level (general elections) with the sub-national (regional) ones. The text non only compare the electoral results but it empirically test the hypothesis of the so-called nationalization of political parties and votes. General findings show that Italy is somehow different in comparison to similar cases and trend in Europe
Pregiudizio: sguardi diversi sugli altri.
No full textThe chapter investigates negative prejudice towards immigrates shown by left- and right-wing people, as well as by people refusing to place themselves on the left-right continuum. Data are based on a survey carried out within the ITANES program on a representative sample of Italian voters. Differences in the levels of conventionalism, social dominance orientation, individual and collective uncertainty are investigated. Results show that lowest levels of prejudice are found among left-wing participants and the highest among right-wing participants and “not-placed” participants. Conventionalism and social dominance orientation are related with prejudice in all three groups of participants. Individual and collective uncertainty play instead a major role among not-placed participants. These results suggest how contextual conditions play a role in the development of prejudice in addition to relatively stable ideological beliefs
Efficacia. Fare o lasciar fare?
No full textThe chapter examines diffeences in political efficacy of left-wing versus right-wing oriented voters. Other psychological correlates, such as political interest, identification with a political leader, and uncertainty perception are also investigated. Data were collected in a survey on a representative sample of Italian population, within the ITANES programme. Results show that left-wing people have the highest level of political efficacy, while people refusing to place themselves on the left-right continuum have the lowest level. Besides, while a strong political interest supports political efficacy among left-wing people, identification with the leader supports efficacy among right-wing people. Finally, among people refusing to place themselves on the left-right continuum, reduced political efficacy seems to be the outcome of the high perceived uncertainty at individual and collective level
Identificazioni: dal partito alla coalizione
No full textMaking reference to the social identity theory, the chapter investigates party and coalition identification. The intensity of identification of left-wing and right-wing voters with their party and coalition are taken into account. Then, coexistence between party and coalition identifications is considered. Data come from an ITANES survey carried out on a representative sample of the Italian population in 2004. Results show that identification with the coalition is usually lower than identification with the party. Left-wing voters are however more identified than right-wing voters. Besides, while among right-wing voters a stronger identification with the coalition leads to a lower party identification, among left-wing voters the two identifications coexist
