In the political science literature, party identification is
considered to be one of the main determinants of voting behaviour. In the
classic Michigan model (Campbell et al., 1960), party identification is
described as a sort of psychological affinity towards a political party, a stable
and long-term orientation. It is assumed that party identification is acquired
during the socialization process in the early years of one’s life as a form of
social identity. Changes in party identification are considered to be relatively
rare and caused by some major personal or societal events. Although there is
no one-to-one relationship between party identification and voting, the
probability that a person would vote for the party with which he/she is
identified is highly likely.
However, the standard model of party identification is not without its
shortcomings in terms of comparative relevance. The essentially different
nature of the political process in the two-party in comparison w...ith the multiparty political system is but one example. Many argued that party
identification is not simply a matter of affects, group identification and early
socialization, and also not an unmoved mover as originally proposed. Some
60
scholars argue that party identification is a consequence of cumulative party
performance evaluations (Fiorina, 1981). According to this view, party
identification is a changeable, rational and political orientation; it is not the
standard for political evaluations, but its consequence instead. Others
propose that party identification is related to different aspects of political
self-determination and ideological identification in a more general sense
(Green et al., 2002). People know who they are, where they belong socially,
which groups they (dis)like and which parties those groups support. In such
a way, party identification is an amalgam of cognition and affects, a form of
socially rooted self-identification.
