“…In the economic welfare domain, beliefs about equality, humanitarianism, self-reliance, government, autonomy, capitalism, and democracy guide evaluations of issues such as aid to the poor, tax policy, and so on (Feldman and Zaller 1992;McClosky and Zaller 1984). For cultural issues such as abortion and gay rights, beliefs about authority, conformity, tradition, tolerance, religion, and equality carry weight (Layman 2001;McCann 1997). In foreign affairs, beliefs about warfare, ethnocentrism, patriotism, social intolerance, conformity, militant and cooperative internationalism, isolationism, and retributive justice shape opinion (Chittick et al 1995;Peffley 1987, 1990;Liberman 2006).…”

“…McCann (1997) defined core political values as overarching normative principles and belief assumptions about government, citizenship, and society. They help people to take positions in an otherwise confusing political environment, binding together more specific attitudes and beliefs (Converse 1964).…”

“…There is, nonetheless, considerable overlap in the political values identified by different theorists (e.g. , Feldman 1988;McCann 1997;Heath, Jowell and Curtice 1985;Goren 2005;Jacoby 2006;Kinder and Sears 1985). Schwartz et al (2010) selected six of the most commonly mentioned core political values for their study.…”

The validation of a theory that identifies a comprehensive set of basic personal values and the near universal structure of relations among them (Schwartz 1992(Schwartz , 2006 makes it possible to do this. Permanent repository linkA recent study in Italy ) examined the possibility that the motivational structure of the 10 basic values in the Schwartz (1992) value theory constrains and

“…There is no consensus on the number and content of core political values in modern democracies (Schwartz et al, 2010), and different numbers of core values have been identified by scholars (e.g. Inglehart, 1971;Knutsen, 1995;McCann, 1997). Inglehart (1971), for example, identified a generational shift from materialist to post-materialist values, while Flanagan (1982) argued that the materialist-post-materialist dimension was a mix of two value dimensions, one opposing authoritarian versus libertarian values and the other materialist versus non-materialist values.…”

Political values count but issue ownership decides? How stable and dynamic factors influence party set and vote choice in multiparty systems

This article addresses the relationship between latent predispositions and political campaign communication. We propose that political values are decisive in a voter's calculation of which parties she may consider voting for, constituting his or her party set. Furthermore, we argue that the theory of issue ownership contributes to explaining the choice of party within the party set. In addition to investigating salient single issue ownership, we relate issue ownership to parties presenting voters with comprehensive policy packages and study the effect of cumulative issue ownership, that is, issue ownership in several policy areas. We test the hypotheses using data from the Norwegian Election Study of 2009. Our findings support our expectations: stable elements affect which parties are included in the party set, and issue ownership affect the choice between the parties within the set. However, political values also affect the choice between parties in the set. Finally, our data show that cumulative issue ownership has a greater effect than issue ownership of one particularly salient issue. The final section of the article discusses the implications for the theory of issue ownership in general and the model presented in this article in particular.
