项目摘要

An individual's level of education is increasingly significant in explaining their political attitudes and behaviour: at the 2017 General Election in the UK, education demonstrated a stronger relationship with voter preferences than traditional cleavages such as social class (Jennings and Stoker, 2017; Ford and Goodwin, 2018). The UK is not alone in this: a similar relationship has been found in recent elections in the United States, France, Italy, Sweden and Germany, and in the 2016 referendum on EU membership (Inglehart and Norris, 2016).But why education should have this effect on political attitudes - and why this relationship has intensified recently, alongside the advent of mass participation in Higher Education in these countries - is not well understood. Empirical studies have sought to establish the causal mechanism for the relationship between education and political attitudes empirically, and only very few have done so making use of longitudinal data to control for parental and childhood characteristics (Surridge, 2016). As a result, this relationship, in addition to the aggregate effect of mass participation, remains under-explored given its significance. The proposed study will therefore examine the relationship between educational attainment and political attitudes, primarily through regression analysis of ESRC-funded longitudinal data on three different generations, seeking to address the following five questions:1. What is the effect of educational attainment on political participation, party and policy preferences, controlling for pre-adult characteristics?2. What is the effect of educational attainment on political attitudes in earlier and later generations?3. What is the effect of subject choice, school characteristics and educational attainment post-16 on political interest?4. What is the effect of educational attainment on political attitudes and policy preferences in later life?5. What is the aggregate effect of mass participation in Higher Education within a Westminster Parliamentary constituency, over and above what would be expected based on population characteristics?The study will speak to questions about emerging educational political cleavages by examining systematically how the relationship between education, political attitudes and policy preferences has evolved in the face of major changes in Higher Education. This would enable a greater understanding of cohort effects, the significance of an individual's secondary school and post-16 experience, and the varying influence of education on more widely accepted 'goods' such as political participation. As a result, it has the potential to inform policy responses on subject choice and access post-16, widening participation in HE, and the potential for changes to other training routes (eg apprenticeships) to enable greater scope for peer socialisation.

一个人的教育水平在解释他们的政治态度和行为方面越来越重要：在2017年英国大选中，教育与选民偏好的关系比传统的分裂，如社会阶层（詹宁斯和斯托克，2017;福特和古德温，2018）。在这方面，英国并不孤单：在美国、法国、意大利、瑞典和德国最近的选举中，以及2016年关于欧盟成员资格的全民公决中，也发现了类似的关系（Inglehart and Norris，2016）.但为什么教育应该对政治态度产生这种影响-以及为什么这种关系最近有所加强，随着这些国家高等教育大众参与的到来，人们对这一问题还没有很好的理解。实证研究试图从经验上建立教育与政治态度之间关系的因果机制，只有极少数人利用纵向数据来控制父母和儿童特征（Surridge，2016）。因此，除了大众参与的总体效应之外，鉴于其重要性，对这种关系的探讨仍然不足。因此，拟议的研究将审查教育程度和政治态度之间的关系，主要是通过回归分析ESRC资助的纵向数据的三个不同的世代，试图解决以下五个问题：1。在控制未成年人特征的情况下，教育程度对政治参与、政党和政策偏好有何影响？2.教育程度对前代和后代人的政治态度有什么影响？3.科目选择、学校特色与16岁后教育程度对政治兴趣有何影响？4.教育程度对晚年的政治态度和政策偏好有什么影响？5.在威斯敏斯特议会选区内，大众参与高等教育的总体效果是什么？该研究将通过系统地研究教育，政治态度和政策偏好之间的关系如何在高等教育面临重大变化的情况下演变，来探讨有关新兴教育政治分歧的问题。这将有助于更好地理解群体效应，个人中学和16岁后经历的重要性，以及教育对更广泛接受的“商品”（如政治参与）的不同影响。因此，它有可能为16岁以后的学科选择和入学政策提供信息，扩大高等教育的参与，并有可能改变其他培训途径（如学徒制），以扩大同龄人社会化的范围。
