The literature on voting behavior has generally accepted that party identification largely determines voter choice. While many studies have found that party identification is largely transmitted through social learning, less studied are the processes of the construction of party identity by way of group membership. This study seeks to understand how group identity influences party identification among Mexican workers through an analysis of the effects of union affiliation on political behavior. It assesses the utility of corporatist legacies in explaining party identity in Mexico and provides a first assessment of party affinities among independent unionists. The evidence draws from original survey data collected during six demonstrations in Mexico City. The study finds that union membership does condition the party identity of corporatist workers but not that of independent unionists.

工会隶属关系、社会化和政治身份：墨西哥案例

关于投票行为的文献普遍认为，政党认同在很大程度上决定了选民的选择。虽然许多研究发现政党认同在很大程度上是通过社会学习传播的，但较少研究的是通过群体成员身份构建政党认同的过程。本研究旨在通过分析工会隶属关系对政治行为的影响，了解群体认同如何影响墨西哥工人的政党认同。它评估了社团主义遗产在解释墨西哥政党身份方面的效用，并首次评估了独立工会主义者之间的政党亲和力。证据来自墨西哥城六次示威期间收集的原始调查数据。
