Abstract

To enhance comparative studies of the ACF, this contribution provides empirical evidence for the measurement of deep normative core beliefs and cultural theory through partisan affiliation. It assesses the interplay between cultural worldviews, partisanship, and policy core beliefs by means of linear regression analyses and correlation statistics to answer the question how deep normative core beliefs are best operationalized across and within European countries. The results methodologically advance and validate cultural theory and partisanship as conceptualizations of deep normative core beliefs and indicate that an appropriate measurement is dependent both on the national context and the policy subsystem. Under different conditions, either cultural worldviews or partisanship depict deep normative core beliefs and explain the formation of policy core beliefs as the basis for advocacy coalitions.

摘要

为了加强对 ACF 的比较研究，这项贡献为通过党派从属关系衡量深层规范核心信念和文化理论提供了经验证据。它通过线性回归分析和相关统计来评估文化世界观、党派偏见和政策核心信念之间的相互作用，以回答如何深入规范核心信念在欧洲国家之间和内部得到最佳实施的问题。结果在方法论上推进和验证了文化理论和党派偏见作为深层规范核心信念的概念化，并表明适当的衡量标准取决于国家背景和政策子系统。在不同的条件下，
