- Measuring Political Attitudes in New Democracies: The Case of Chile(2018) Guerrero-Solé, F. (Frederic); Fierro-Zamora, P. (Pedro).The aim of this work is to analyze three political attitudes: internal efficacy, external efficacy, and political interest, as variables that can explain people’s disaffection. We aim to determine the impact of short-term and sociodemographic variables on these three political attitudes in the context of Chile. A survey, carried out by GFK-Adimark between March 3, 2016 and April 6, 2016, was used to answer our main research questions. In the survey, 1,651 inhabitants participated from the Chilean region of Valparaiso. Using this data, a hierarchical multivariate analysis was used for each attitude studied. In these terms, our results suggest that education and previous participation explain internal efficacy and political interest, but not external efficacy. Additionally, gender explains the perception of self-competence but not political interest. On the other hand, the perception of corruption is not related to any of the three political attitudes analyzed. These results are in line with the idea that political attitudes are stable variables not related to short-term variables. Although political malaise is usually studied by scholars, their work is normally considered under the conditions of a consolidated systems. In this framework, the Chilean data presented is going to help us understand the behavior of political attitudes in new democracies.
- Aproximaciones teóricas sobre el rol de la publicidad electoral en contextos de malestar(2017) Azurmendi, A. (Ana); Fierro-Zamora, P. (Pedro).Desarrollaremos un marco teórico que nos permita comprender el rol que tendría la publicidad electoral en un contexto de malestar. Considerando la multidimensionalidad del descontento, entenderemos a la desafección como el componente que más se relaciona con aquello que Putnam y Goss denominan “las condiciones previas fundamentales para una democracia efectiva”. En virtud de la evidencia sobre los efectos democráticos de las campañas, sugeriremos que la publicidad electoral nos podría ayudar a enfrentar el declive del sentido cívico de nuestros individuos desde su dimensión actitudinal, lo que tendría implicancias concretas en la calidad de nuestro sistema democrático
