X Abstract

Using data from a 1968 national survey, we undertook a causal analysis of political party identifications of American men. The resulting path diagram estimates parameters for five sociological and political socialization variables with direct paths to party preference-occupation, class identification, ethnoreligious group and parents' party choices. Education and other social origin variables are viewed as having indirect effects on partisanship through the "socio-economic life cycle." Alternative specifications of the subjective class identification variables are explored.
