Abstract

This paper focuses on attitudes toward the opposition party and suggests that these attitudes are a necessary part of the measurement of partisan identification. Looking at survey data from 1964 to 1974, we note that evaluations of the opposition are independent, long-term factors which improve both our ability to explain and predict electoral behavior. Attention to the original exposition of partisan identification and related empirical data in American politics indicates that a multiple-indicators model which includes attitudes toward the opposition is more appropriate to measure partisanship than the traditional seven-point scale.
