The Franco-American Voter: A Cross-Cultural Model

小行星9421869 比较发达民主国家的投票模式受到许多因素的阻碍，其中包括方法，测量和理论的差异。 法美两国的选举研究在调查研究方法上有着共同点，但在测量方法和理论上存在差异。 各自的全国选举调查并没有提出许多相同的问题，每个国家的主导研究范式都提供了相反的投票选择解释模型。 该项目是美国和法国研究人员的共同努力，首次将美国国家选举研究（ANES）的关键项目纳入法国国家选举研究（1995年）。 在对法国新的预测试数据进行分析后，这些ANES项目将包括：感觉温度计，支持率，经济评估，社会问题的七点接近度测量，政党识别，候选人特征。 同样，这一项目将再次首次将法国全国选举研究的关键项目纳入全国选举研究（1996年）。 这些项目将接受美国预测试，因此与上述法国预测试平行。 这些项目是：左右意识形态的衡量标准，不规范的社会阶级衡量标准（特别是社会地位的“阶梯”指标，财产所有权的指标）。 最终的结果将是独一无二的：两次总统选举调查- - 1995年的法国，1996年的美国- -包含了对关键自变量的可比测量。 这些数据集将通过大学间政治和社会研究联盟提供给学术界，将使投票选择的竞争理论能够进行前所未有的跨文化测试。 ***

9421869 Lewis-Beck Comparison of voting models across advanced democracies is hampered by a number of things, among them difference in method, measurement, and theory. Franco-American election studies share in common a survey research methodology, but tend to be separated by differences of measurement and theory. The respective national election surveys do not pose many of the same questions and the dominant research paradigms in each country offer opposing explanatory models of vote choice. This project, a joint effort of US and French researchers, includes, for the first time, key American National Election Study (ANES) items in the French National Election Study (for 1995). Following on an analysis of new French pre-test data, these ANES items will be included: feeling thermometers, approval ratings, economic evaluations, seven-point proximity measures on social issues, party identification, candidate traits. Similarly, this project will include, again for the first time, key French National Election Study (FNES) items into ANES (for 1996). These items will be subject to American pre-test, thus paralleling the above French pre-test. The items are: left- right ideological measures, nonstandard social class measures (in particular, a social status "staircase" indicator, and indicators of property ownership). The end result will be unique: two presidential election surveys - - 1995 for France, 1996 for the US - - that contain comparable measures on key independent variables. These data sets, which will be made available to the scholarly community through the Interuniversity Consortium for Political and Social Research, will enable unprecedented cross-cultural testing of rival theories of vote choice. ***
