Partisan Hearts and Minds: Political Parties and the Social Identities of Voters
Abstract
In this authoritative study, three political scientists demonstrate that identification with political parties powerfully determines how citizens look at politics and cast their ballots. Partisan Hearts and Minds is a profound breakthrough in our understanding of partisan loyalties and makes a major contribution to the study of political attitudes and voting behavior.-Paul Abramson, Michigan State University This book will be influential the moment it appears. It will be the starting point for all further treatments of the topic.-Richard Johnston, University of British Columbia The grounding of partisanship in social identities is the most important theoretical contribution to the study of partisanship in the last two decades.-Morris P. Fiorina, Stanford University

“A medida que la polarización partidista afectiva aumenta, adquiere características tribales de conflicto intergrupal, donde los miembros se vuelven ferozmente leales a su equipo y mantienen fuertes prejuicios contra el otro grupo (Green et al., 2002).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
